WP-Admin shows (1) update but there is no update for plugin, theme or Wordpress

I am having a strange issue where in my wp-admin it says there is an update required. However I checked the Themes, Plugins and even reinstalled the latest version of Wordpress and it is still showing me the update.

I have also deleted my cache plugin and done all sorts of other tasks to try to fix it but have no luck.

Would anyone have any idea of what could be causing this and/or how I can fix this? It is very annoying. Thank you for any help.

I noticed this on a few of the sites we manage, and the fix for us was updating translations from the WP Updates page. After scrolling all the way to the bottom and clicking "Update Translations," the (1) in the update icon in the admin bar went away. See screenshot below.

I first reinstalled WP. Then I went into the Theme Support Center and enabled Safe Mode. This temporarily deactivates all plugins. Next, I disabled Safe Mode, and presto, no more pending updates! :)

If you're not running the same theme as me, you might try disabling all plugins and then enabling them again to see if that works for you.

Good luck!


I've the same issue in different WordPress installs, I manage more than 40 sites with WordPress, and this issue is very common, I've seen it in sites with different plugin combinations, with different themes, I've notice that when I reinstall WordPress it shows OK, but before it seems that there is no problem.
