Turning 23rd This Saturday

Posted by Lester Chan at 09:20 in Site

I am officially 23 years old this coming Saturday (24th March 2007). In case you are wondering, my age is exactly the same as Matt (the founder of WordPress). His birthday is in January and mine is in March.

Donations anyone? To help me get my birthday present? =D

WordPress 2.1.2

Posted by Lester Chan at 11:06 in Site, WordPress

WordPress 2.1.2 has been released and I have updated this site to WordPress 2.1.2.

It is an emergency release, so I urged all of you to upgrade it.

Here is what happen, copied + pasted:

This morning we received a note to our security mailing address about unusual and highly exploitable code in WordPress. The issue was investigated, and it appeared that the 2.1.1 download had been modified from its original code. We took the website down immediately to investigate what happened.

It was determined that a cracker had gained user-level access to one of the servers that powers wordpress.org, and had used that access to modify the download file. We have locked down that server for further forensics, but at this time it appears that the 2.1.1 download was the only thing touched by the attack. They modified two files in WP to include code that would allow for remote PHP execution.

Remember to overwrite EVERY files/folders except those in the ‘wp-content’ folder.

FeedBurner

Posted by Lester Chan at 23:46 in Site

I am all new to this RSS/Feed thing. I have added a FeedBurner Stats to the sidebar, just below the WP-Stats Widget. Am I right to say that you can subscribe this site feed through FeedBurner?

WordPress 2.1 RC 1

Posted by Lester Chan at 02:41 in Plugins, Site

I have updated this site to WordPress 2.1 RC1. The good news is I updated some of my plugins to make use of the “technology” of WordPress 2.1 but the bad news is that it is not backward compatible (I am too lazy/busy to make it backward compatible). I will release them when WordPress 2.1 goes gold.

Updated Plugins For WP 2.1:
» WP-Ban 1.10
» WP-DBManager 2.10
» WP-PageNavi 2.10
» WP-Polls 2.14
» WP-PostRatings 1.10
» WP-PostViews 1.10
» WP-RelativeDate 1.10
» WP-Stats 2.10
» WP-UserOnline 2.10
» WP-ServerInfo 1.00 (New Plugin - Display Your Host’s Server PHP and MYSQL Information On Your Dashboard)

Current Plugins That Will Work With WP 2.1:
» WP-EMail 2.07
» WP-Print 2.06

Plugins Not Tested With WP 2.1:
» WP-WAP 2.00

WP-DBManager and WP-ServerInfo cannot work side by side due function name conflicts, I will update WP-DBManager ASAP and also to make it work with WP 2.1 if it doesn’t

EDIT: WP-DBManager will be updated to 2.10

Changing Of Host Completed

Posted by Lester Chan at 12:19 in Site

If you are able to see this announcement, it means that the site has successfully move to the new host (Dreamhost to be exact). I signed a 2 year contract with them for (USD$100.80), hopefully they do not let me down.

This site is definitely slower for me in terms of load time as the host no longer reside in Singapore (where I live), but it maybe faster for some of you guys also.

Last but not least, if there is any problem, do post in the forum under Site & Forum Issues

Thanks a lot for your continuous support.

WordPress 2.0.6

Posted by Lester Chan at 00:44 in Site, WordPress

WordPress 2.0.6 has been released and it will be the last release before WordPress 2.1 comes out of the door. And of course I just updated this site to WordPress 2.0.6.

My new download plugin shall be called WP-DownloadManager after suggested by Giovanni Putignano and looking through the names of download scripts listed in HotScripts.

I received emails from some of my users regarding a more advanced ratings system and comments rating system. If I have the time in May to August (my summer holidays), I will jump to it.

New Support Forums

Posted by Lester Chan at 01:30 in Site, WP-Polls

New Support Forums
Hi guys,

The support forums for my plugins is at http://forums.lesterchan.net. I have just “reformatted” it to Simple Machines. If you run into any problems with my plugin, kindly post it in the forums.

If I do not answer your question within 3 days, feel free to bump it as I may miss it.

Updates
My exams are over, hopefully I can start work on the WP-Downloads and update some of my plugins. My main focus here is to get version 3 of my site out and then all the plugins will roll out accordingly because the new site will need them. Be patient with me =)

WP-Polls 2.13
It is more or less ready to be released, I will release it sometime this week, latest by next week. It features bug fixes, poll bar styling option in Polls -> Poll Options (allowing you to use CSS or Image) and most importantly I have internationalize (no idea whether is it the right word to use) it, so now you can translate wp-polls into your own language just by modifying the .po file.
