Drupal Solutions
Solution 1 - Drupal
You can get this by logging in to admin. Go to Administer → Reports → Status Report.
This will let you know all your config information of the site including your Drupal version.
Solution 2 - Drupal
You can also type:
drush status in your project folder. It will print out something like this:
$ drush status
Drupal version : 7.27 **<--**
Default theme : garland
Administration theme : garland
PHP executable : php
PHP configuration : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Drush\Php\php.ini"
PHP OS : WINNT
Drush version : 6.0
Drush configuration :
Drush alias files : c:/users/spaden/.drush/pantheon.aliases.drushrc.php
Drupal root : c:/Users/spaden/localSite/
Hope this helps!
Solution 3 - Drupal
To easily check Drupal version, go to www.yourwebsite.com/CHANGELOG.txt
CHANGELOG.txt will show you the version and change log updates to the Drupal build version.
Solution 4 - Drupal
This is defined as a global PHP variable in /includes/bootstrap.inc within D7. Example: define('VERSION', '7.14'); So use it like this...
if (VERSION >= 7.1) {
do_something();
}
Solution 5 - Drupal
In Drupal 7
Open CHANGELOG.txt and the top most version will be the installed version.
In Drupal 8
Open core/lib/Drupal.php file and there will be a version mentioned like const VERSION = '8.1.8';
Drush Tool
Drush status
Admin Interface
Go to Administer -> Reports -> Status Report or enter URL /admin/reports/status
> Above is the simplest way otherwise installed wappalyzer browser > addons and see the magic.
Solution 6 - Drupal
Log into Drupal admin interface. Then go to "Administer -> Available Updates". And you'll be able to see what drupal version your are using.
or you can go to the file /modules/system/system.info and you will see something like version = "6.2"
Solution 7 - Drupal
From the database
Run the following query:
SELECT info FROM system WHERE type = 'module' AND name = 'node';
After, you will receive a serialized string value like:
> a:10:{s:4:"name";s:4:"Node";s:11:"description";s:66:"Allows content to be submitted to the site and displayed on pages.";s:7:"package";s:15:"Core - required";s:7:"version";s:4:"6.20";s:4:"core";s:3:"6.x";s:7:"project";s:6:"drupal";s:9:"datestamp";s:10:"1292447788";s:12:"dependencies";a:0:{}s:10:"dependents";a:0:{}s:3:"php";s:5:"4.3.5";}
Then, unserialize this string. You can use the php unserialize function or any online web service such as: http://unserialize.me
You should see two array elements as below which shows the current version number:
[version] => 6.20
[core] => 6.x
Solution 8 - Drupal
The really easy way is: go to your site, and into the Browser go to: view source.
Generally you can find:
<meta name="generator" content="Drupal 7 (http://drupal.org)" />
Or just press: Ctrl/Cmd "F": And find the word Drupal.
You will find the Drupal version in the code without check anything in the admin.
Solution 9 - Drupal
For Drupal7
Two ways you can find installed drupal version.for this you have to logged in as admin.
1.Go to Url 'admin/reports/status',on status report page it will show first drupal with its version.

*/
const VERSION = '8.2.3';
Solution 10 - Drupal
Drupal 8 programmatically: \DRUPAL::VERSION
Solution 11 - Drupal
For older versions you can find the details here: modules/system/system.module
One of my installs says:
define('VERSION', '5.6');

Solution 13 - Drupal
Indeed, looking at any .info file on your Drupal instance in any theme or module folder (inside /sites/all) may be easiest/quickest for you as opposed to adding PHP code though both are quite easy.
If for any reason you don't have FTP/SSH access to your Drupal server, there are other ways like viewing page source in the browser (if you know what look for) or a simple browser pluggin such as 'Drupal for Firebug' or similar utlity:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/drupal-for-firebug/
Solution 14 - Drupal
Alternatively you can install Drupal version check plugin in your browser and click on the drupal icon in your navigation bar. This is the easiest way to check Drupal version.
Here is the link to the plugin - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/drupal-version-check/
Solution 15 - Drupal
Open project folder. Look for CHANGELOG.txt and open it. Here you can find version.
Solution 16 - Drupal
Drupal 7 admin->modules->(see version of core module like block ) admin->reports->status->drupal version
Drupal 8 admin->reports->updates : see Drupal core
Solution 17 - Drupal
In Drupal admin panel, you can find using the menu as follows, Drupal admin Reports->Status report. or else
You can find Drupal version via URL or View Source.
