Upgrading to WordPress 2.3.3

09 Feb 2008

9 Feb, 2008  Wordpress plugins, blogging news

If you’re a WordPress user and haven’t yet upgraded to version 2.3.3, it’s time to do so. This critical update fixes a security flaw that allows a user of a blog to edit another user’s posts. For more information on the upgrade, you can read the official report and instructions from WordPress.org. If you’re intimidated by the instructions or just prefer a simpler upgrade process, I highly recommend the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin. Once installed, the plugin will automatically upgrade to the latest version, so you can use it again and again as new versions are released. I’ve used it with great success on the last two upgrades.

    I use the Auto Upgrade plugin and love it. It makes upgrading so simple.

    The main thing why this upgrade happened was that people were opening Shoemoney, John Chow’s draft posts before they were published, which was a major security error!

    Good upgrade by those guys.

    I swear I upgraded my WP two days before the new update! ARGH! You know, even though I’m complaining, WordPress couldn’t make the process any easier, but I swear… I JUST FREAKIN DID IT!!!
