Linux/cPanel:

find /home/*/public_html/ -type f -iwholename “*/wp-includes/version.php” -exec grep -H “\$wp_version =” {} \;

Linux/Plesk:

find /var/www/vhosts/*/httpdocs/ -type f -iwholename “*/wp-includes/version.php” -exec grep -H “\$wp_version =” {} \;

Windows/IIS (default path) with Powershell:

Get-ChildItem -Path “C:\inetpub\wwwroot\” -Filter “version.php” -Recurse | Select-String -pattern “\`$wp_version =”

Linux/Plesk:
