WordPress 2.8.4

WordPress 2.8.4 has been released and also similar to WordPress 2.8.3, this is a security fix.

Yesterday a vulnerability was discovered: a specially crafted URL could be requested that would allow an attacker to bypass a security check to verify a user requested a password reset. As a result, the first account without a key in the database (usually the admin account) would have its password reset and a new password would be emailed to the account owner. This doesn’t allow remote access, but it is very annoying.

WP-Ban 1.00 Beta

Hi guys, I am back with a new plugin, called WP-Ban. This plugin allows you to ban users from your site by IP or Host Name.

For example:
Iif you want to ban users from your localhost ip range, you can always to this: 192.168.1.* under the ip column.
If you want to ban a certain country to visit your blog, for example Singapore, under the host name column, just type *.sg

8 Plugins Updated

I have updated 8 of my 11 plugins. The most important bug I fixed is the AJAX URL bug. The rest are some minor enhancements and bug fixes. wp-stats.php, wp-polls.php and wp-useronline.php are now integrated into WordPress Pages. You do not need to manually integrate it. You will still need to manually integrate wp-email.php, I am still finding a way around it.

I have started school after 2 years of National Service and I am very busy with my school work (university school work is hell). I will try my very best to give support to my plugins alongside with bug fixes.

Thanks for all the support =)

WordPress 2.0.6

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.
