Movable Type Knowledge Base: Version Number Not Updated After Upgrade

Question

I upgraded to the latest version, but my interface and/or weblog still show the older version number.

Answer

If your interface pages still show the older version, this means that all of the newer Movable Type files were not properly uploaded to your server. (At a minimum, the newest lib/MT.pm file is not present.)

Upload the new upgrade files again, ensuring that:

You use the appropriate mode (ASCII or BINARY)
All the older files were overwritten by the newer versions.
No files were truncated during the transfer.

Refresh the interface page in your browser and make sure the version number has been updated.

Once you've upgraded correctly, your weblog will still show that you are using the older Movable Type version until the pages are published again. Use Rebuild Site to republish any pages where you are using the <MTVersion> tag, so that its value can be updated with the correct version number.
