Upgrading WordPress

Jul 6, 2005 \ Daily Life \ 2 Responses

Just upgraded my blog to WordPress 1.5.1.3 yesterday afternoon. Some small security update only, but then because of the slow connection speed it seemed to take eons for the upload of new wordpress files into my ftp server to complete. Bleh.

Well, a reminder to those wordpress users who have not upgraded their wordpress. There is a security loophole in the current wordpress thing, so it is advised to upgrade as soon as possible. The problem is not yet public but you should update your blog as soon as possible to WordPress 1.5.1.3.
To lazy bums, you may protect yourself by deleting the xmlrpc.php file from your WordPress directory., but you’re again, highly recommended to upgrade it as soon as possible.

Read more about upgrading of your WordPress – the highly stable and extremely popular branch based on the 1.5 Strayhorn codebase!

Before ending: you can download it here (this’ll bring you to the WordPress Download Page).

Cheers

I'm relatively new to the design world - only to start learning HTML in secondary school and then moving on to (X)HTML and CSS in college. Since then I have been hand-coding my designs using notepad, alongside with the amazing help from Firebug. I embrace photography as a personal persuit during my free time, and I prefer spending the rest of it doing meaningless quizzes on Facebook and destroying the world (in Rampage World Tour, that is).

Name *

Your name is required. Why?

So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Email *

Your email is needed. Why?

Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

Website

You can always leave a personal URL behind

It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter ID (What?) http://twitter.com/

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.
What is my Twitter ID?: To get a Twitter ID, you simply have to sign up for an account at Twitter.com. Your ID will be in the format of your profile's URL - http://twitter.com/[userid].
