Ryan: 2.8 Plugin Compatibility

Wordpress

Some plugins are causing grief for those upgrading to 2.8.

HyperDB needs to be updated to the latest version, otherwise tags won’t save.
DB Cache also prevents tags from being saved. I haven’t seen an update for it yet.
Plugins that load old versions of jQuery for all admin pages will break all kinds of stuff.  Plugins should use the version of jQuery that ships with WP.  If a plugin must use a particular version of jQuery, that version should be queued only for the plugin’s own pages.
Themes that call get_categories() from functions.php before the init action fires will fail. …

Ryan: Auto Upgrading to Nightly Builds

Wordpress

WP’s automatic upgrade can be used to automatically upgrade to betas and nightly builds for the development branch or the latest stable branch.  To get onto a development upgrade path you must first make a small change to wp-includes/version.php.

The current release of WP is 2.8.  If you peek in the version.php file, you will see this:

$wp_version = ‘2.8′;

If you would like to try out the latest development builds for the upcoming 2.8.1 release, change that line to this:

$wp_version = ‘2.8.1-dev’;

“dev” can be any string. The presence of a suffix on the version tells the automatic upgrade to put you on…

Donncha: WordPress Upgrade Notifications by Email

Wordpress

This weekend will go down in history. It’s the first time I’ve been seriously sick in well over 5 years. A bug infected my son on Wednesday, but he got over it quickly enough. Then the same bug hit my wife and I on Sunday morning and we’re just getting over it now.

Odd that a worm attacks software I work on and I get very sick at the same time. Unfortunately I couldn’t run an exploit scanner and remove the bug but my body’s defenses took care of the bugs eventually.

All this leads me to a handy little plugin called…

Joseph: RSSCloud For WordPress

Wordpress

RSSCloud support has been enabled on all WordPress.com blogs. If you are running a WordPress.org powered blog you can do the same thing with the RSSCloud plugin.

So what does this really mean?

From the point of view of WordPress and this plugin there are three main additions:

Adds the <cloud> element to your RSS2 feed (more details here and here) which tells clients where and how to sign up for notification requests.
Registers a URL handler with WordPress to process the notification signups.
Sends out notification updates when a new post is published.

The cloud element looks like this:

<cloud domain=’josephscott.org’ port=’80′…

Wordpress

I have a role to write articles, someone else has a role to look over it and edit and deem as feasible for reading, but what does the role I have mean?

Meta: Words or phrases marked in italic will be explained in future posts.

You have a role of doing something wherever you are at or at whichever position you are, those roles are pre-defined and involve certain things that you can do and cannot do, some times we do break rules, however with software we usually cannot.

Likewise with WordPress there are some roles that are pre-defined and have certain capabilities that you…

Dev Blog: How to Keep WordPress Secure

Wordpress

A stitch in time saves nine. I couldn’t sew my way out of a bag, but it’s true advice for bloggers as well — a little bit of work on an upgrade now saves a lot of work fixing something later.

Right now there is a worm making its way around old, unpatched versions of WordPress. This particular worm, like many before it, is clever: it registers a user, uses a security bug (fixed earlier in the year) to allow evaluated code to be executed through the permalink structure, makes itself an admin, then uses JavaScript to hide itself when you…

Wordpress

Old WordPress Versions Under Attack: Older version of WordPress are being attacked and characters are being added to the permalinks. Sure signs of the attack include strange characters in your permalinks (single posts do not work) and an extra administrator account in the users control panel which you cannot see. Look for the administrator count in brackets at the top. Is the number there what you would expect on your blog?

Please upgrade your WordPress blog to the latest version ASAP. Our own PluginBlog was vulnerable and was compromised (shame on me for not having upgraded from a really old version).…
