WordPress 2.3.3 is out

Published Tuesday, 5 Feb 2008 8:58

Yes, it’s another security release. This one only really affects sites that have multiple users, and allow registrations. Basically, with a bit of fiddling, any registered user can get to edit any post on the blog, which is not a Good Thing at all. If this applies to you, upgrade now.

Details from the WordPress development blog, download it from the usual place, and enjoy mind-bogglingly quick and easy updates with Bryan Layman’s EasyWPUpdate script.

Talking of Bryan’s script – it’s even easier now I’ve been Macified! The Mac’s Terminal – the equivalent of a Windows command prompt – is in fact a proper Unix shell, so I don’t even need a separate program like PuTTY as I did under Windows. I just type teh correct mystic incantation to open a session to my Dreamhost account and type the command. This saves another few seconds on each update! Woo hoo!!

  1. I’ve taken to using the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plug, at http://techie-buzz.com/
    It worked a treat to upgrade to 2.3.2 and I’m about to try it again.

  2. Hmmm. Not sure I like the way that one works. And it’s not as much fun as a command line, so there!

  4. No CLI?? That’s no way to live! Seriously – it’s one of the things that keeps me with Dreamhost.
