Hiya.. Wp upgrade has been released..it fixes major bugs..read more about its fixing at johnchow's blog..
These wordpress releases are getting too regular and wasting too much blogging time ... come on WP slow down!
I totally agree with you. It's the same with all the plugins. No that I have a my blogs running smooth and stable, I'm keeping it this way. I'm waiting with upgrading.
The WordPress announcement states: Except that I've just upgraded and I see no option in the Admin CP to do this... What am I missing?
Yeah, right... I suppose it would be MUCH better if they just left us with those security issues sitting there and didn't bother to do anything about them. You guys do realize you're hacker bait, don't you?
Considering how easy the wordpress patches are Ill take one a week over having my sites exploited. I see it as a necessary evil.
I'm pretty sure even the people that complain would rather have a secure site than go through the ringer of having their site taken down. That being said, the big security flaw from my understanding, was the ability to uncover someone's draft posts. That doesn't seem like a huge deal, but you never know. I just wish people spent as much time updating the wiki over there as they do putting out new releases :\
I think it was a bit more than that: WordPress Cookie Authentication Vulnerability WordPress 2.3.1 SQL Injection Vulnerability bs-wp-noerrors: removing WordPress DB errors
Your absolutely right about being hacker bait. I did the WP upgrade right after my post. I'm still have to upgrade some of my plugins, for some of them it seems if like they are updated to a newer version every night. I can't imagine that this has anything to do with security issues, these are to frequently. Once in a while Ill sit down for a few hours and update all the plugins on all my blogs all at once. The imported plugins are upgraded immediately.
Well, a friend of mine has a site, http://www.computerhaters.com , and it runs on wp-united with phpBB3 integrated, and it upgraded perfect. Very nice job wordpress
Upgrading from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 was no problem for me, either. All of the plug-ins worked just fine. Regarding the custom DB error page issue, it seems that announcement was a tad overhyped, since it doesn't actually do very much that you don't get by default. See the discussion at http://www.dailyblogtips.com/wordpress-232-is-out/#comments - I had thought this was more than it actually is.
Right minstrel, the custom DB error page appears to be just something to tell your users that the database is having an issue right now and can not connect. Something similar to a maintenance page, or the database connection problem page I have seen on this very forum.. Just something to tell your users to check back or that you page will be back up soon.. and perhaps so they would not see a true php error page, that would show paths, directories and the like.. I guess the only thing that part adds is gives you (the admin) the ability to make the error page how you, the admin wants it. And not just show the vanilla default wordpress database error page.
