Show the PHP version, WordPress version, and the version of any chosen plugin directly in the admin bar, at a glance.

== Description ==

**Version Info Admin Bar** adds a small, unobtrusive menu to the WordPress top admin bar that shows, at a glance:

* The current PHP version running on the server
* The current WordPress version
* The version number of any plugin you choose to track

This is especially useful for developers, agencies, and site maintainers who manage multiple WordPress installations and want a fast way to check environment details without digging through Site Health or the Plugins screen.

= Key Features =

* Adds a "Versions" menu to the admin bar, visible only to administrators
* Displays PHP version and WordPress version instantly
* Lets each administrator pick which plugins should show their version number
* Per-user settings — different administrators can track different plugins
* Lightweight: no database bloat, no external requests, no tracking
* Clean uninstall — nothing is left behind beyond standard user meta

= Why use this plugin? =

When you manage several WordPress sites, quickly confirming the PHP version or checking whether a critical plugin is up to date can save valuable time, especially before troubleshooting or applying updates. Version Info Admin Bar puts that information exactly where you already are: the admin bar, on every screen.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Who can see the version information? =

Only logged-in users with the `manage_options` capability (administrators) can see the "Versions" menu and access the settings page.

= Can different administrators track different plugins? =

Yes. Plugin selection is stored per user, so each administrator can choose their own set of plugins to monitor.

= Does this plugin slow down my site? =

No. The plugin only runs in the admin area and admin bar, and it does not make any external requests or add anything to the front end for regular visitors.

= Does this plugin collect any data or phone home? =

No. All data (your plugin selections) stays in your own WordPress database as user meta. Nothing is sent to any external server.

= Will this work with my theme? =

Yes. The plugin only adds items to the standard WordPress admin bar and does not modify your theme.
