A couple of our users are reporting seeing the following error when they login to EE:
“An unexpected error occurred attempting to download the current ExpressionEngine version number. Please visit your Download Account to verify you are on the current version. If this error persists, please contact your system administrator”
I’m not seeing it when I login though. And we can’t seem to figure out what’s causing it. We’re currently on EE v2.3.1
Thanks for any help

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your question!
From time to time, the server that holds our version file is unreachable. When ExpressionEngine can’t reach the server, it will show this error.
You can disable this in Admin->General Configuration: New Version Auto Check
Overall, it’s nothing to be concerned about 😊
Cheers,
