I have the plugins list in 'wp-admin/plugins.php' page. For each plugin there is some meta info extracted by WP from each plugin file:
/*
* Plugin Name: somename
* Version: 1.2.3
*/
I want to filter the version of a plugin, to show it in the plugins list, but not to modify the plugin file, just filter the version value.
Update:
<?php
/*
* Plugin Name: aTestPlugin
* Version: old.version
* Description: This plugin is just for testing purpose.
* Plugin URI: /
* Author: mario
* Author URI: /
*/
function atestplugin_plugin_row_meta($meta, $file, $data, $status) {
// do some filtering ...
if ( $data['Name'] == 'aTestPlugin' )
$meta[0] = 'new.version';
return $meta;
}
add_filter('plugin_row_meta', 'atestplugin_plugin_row_meta', 10, 4 );

Reset to default 2Maybe you are looking for the plugin_row_meta filter, where you could add a custom filter like this one:
add_filter('plugin_row_meta', 'custom_plugin_row_meta', 10, 4 );
function custom_plugin_row_meta($meta, $file, $data, $status) {
//
// do some filtering on the version text of the Akismet plugin
//
if( $file === 'akismet/akismet.php' )
// $meta[0] = "Version 3.14159265359"; // BAD
$meta[0] = sprintf( '<strong>%s</strong>', $meta[0] ); // BETTER
return $meta;
}
where we target the version text of the Akismet plugin as an example.
Before:
After (with bolded version text):
ps: It could be very confusing to the user if you are going to modify the displayed version number of a plugin! So I hope you are only making cosmetic changes to it ;-)
