WordPress 2.1.2

http://wordpress.org/development/2007/03/upgrade-212/trackback/

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.

WP-Sticky 1.00 Beta 2

WP-Sticky 1.00 Beta 2 is out. This is the start of an actual WP-Sticky Plugin because I have re-written the code.

You can configure WP-Sticky options in ‘WP-Admin -> Options -> Sticky‘.

You can find the post’s ‘Sticky‘ Option under ‘Post Sticky Status‘ Options in the ‘Write/Edit Post Screen‘.

Need support, post it in here, WP-Sticky Support Forums.

Last but not least, read the readme.html file and NOTE the tabs.

*UPDATE* WP-Sticky is now out of beta, download WP-Sticky 1.00.
