I’m writing a plugin, based on someone else’s tutorial.. I’ve been changing parts of it as I’m building it, such as the name, names of functions and so forth. The basics of the plugin work as expected, and it shows up in the plugin manager UI. However, when I activate it, it shows my custom metadata (plugin name, version, etc), but it INCORRECTLY displays and “Update this plugin” message of someone else’s plugin. Now this plugin appears not to be related to the tutorial maker (which was my first suspicion).. it seems not to be directly related to the plugin name, folder name, or filenames.. but I really can’t seem to control it â other than remove the whole metadata section, which seems illogical.
What is linking my plugin to someone else’s plugin, or otherwise causing it to wrongly identify?
Thanks in advance
The plugin section gathers info from their online repo, so if you have named it to something that’s already there, it will pull through that data.
Just give it a unique name:
