Hey Sid - I've grabbed the latest speedtest admin repo. The web UI version info is reported correctly, however there is a minor inconsistency in the Settings page...

https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE/releases/v5.6

"footer.php: move FTL before Web Interface #1854 Remove adlists tab from settings page #1845"

Per the release notes, it looks like the Adlists tab was supposed to be removed from Settings, but it's still showing up (after installing the latest speedtest admin repo). FTL version is still being reported after web UI version in the footer - these are just minor cosmetic issues, but should've changed based on the web 5.6 release notes. Not sure if this is the same using the stock Pi-hole 5.6 web UI as I was still using the older speedtest admin repo (5.5.1) after updating Pi-hole FTL/core. This may just be pointing out that there are still some older php files sitting in the newest speedtest admin repo. Otherwise things seem to be running fine overall.

Thinking I uninstalled it wrong 5 days ago when i wanted to get the update right away. Getting the following:

root@ToWn3r-Pi:/var/www/html# mv admin org_admin
mv: cannot move 'admin' to 'org_admin/admin': Directory not empty
root@ToWn3r-Pi:/var/www/html# git clone https://github.com/arevindh/AdminLTE admin
fatal: destination path 'admin' already exists and is not an empty directory.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Using the update script seems to have worked tho. curl -sSL https://github.com/arevindh/pihole-speedtest/raw/master/update.sh | bash

Try rm -rf org_admin as root before running the manual update commands. If those backup directories are still there those commands will throw an error.

Also try going through the manual steps, rather than using the update script...that way you can see at which point a command, etc. might fail.

Will check it tomorrow. Thanks for the report.

^ Thanks for confirming. I never verified the 5.6 web UI (pi-hole default), but suspected unless some older PHP files were left in the speedtest admin repo, the problem was with the pi-hole web UI itself.

Sid - you can probably close this one out, I haven't run into any issues since updating a couple of days ago.
