Wordpress 2.3.3 was released yesterday and I suggest that you should update immediately.

WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. If you have registration enabled a flaw was found in the XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow a user to edit posts of other users on that blog. (Source)

As of now, I’m still doing the upgrade and trying to find out which files you need to replace. But one thing for sure, you need to replace the xmlrpc.php file since this is the focus of the wordpress 2.3.3 fix.

Update: Here are the files that you need to replace and add to your wordpress installation. Remember to backup first before doing any upgrade or update. Read the rest of this entry »

Just this year, one of the goals I made for the blog is to increasing its pagerank and a week later, I see that goal going down the drain. I got Google Slapped from Pagerank 3 to 0. Why?

Last week, I noticed some problems in the True Blue Wordpress theme that I got from Easy wordpress. So what I did was to go to their support forum and post a question,

Hi,
I have been using the True Blue Theme for about two weeks now and I have noticed several problems.

1. The search function does not work. Check at http://silkenhut.com. Do a search and it just redirects to the homepage.
2. There is no <?php wp_footer(); ?> found anywhere in the code. I think this is required for some plugins to work (wordpress stats).

Please advice on what can be done about this. Thanks.

Guess what I got from what I posted? (link to my forum thread) Read the rest of this entry »
