I’m looking at my fairly recent discourse… 127 commits behind, and in need of a version update.

What happened to the link to /admin/upgrade?

All I get is the link to the current commit, which isn’t [all that useful anyway](https://meta.discourse.org/t/docker-upgrade-links-point-only-to-the-repo-not-the-displayed-commit/20016).

Hmm not sure good point shouldn’t the words please upgrade be a link to the upgrade page in this case @eviltrout?

This is quite unusual. On my install there is a link:

I can’t imagine why that wouldn’t be showing up unless you have a broken plugin of some sort?

Aha that `reopen` error is definitely the culprit. There is likely something you are using that has not been updated with the [new plugin api](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-new-versioned-api-for-client-side-plugins/40051). My guess would be the new relic, custom field or plugin-checklist ones, as I don’t believe I reviewed or updated those personally.

plugin-checklist looks to be using my version, so that should be safe, at least the commit it references matches the latest commit in my repo.

Alright, I’ll remove some and see where things go.. posting back if there’s anything worth sharing.
