Wordpress stuff

Sean pointed out that if you don’t use the WP2.3 Related posts plugin, you get a PHP error when viewing single posts. It seems I was not using correctly the PHP function function_exists.

How to update

If you already have the theme in wp-content/themes, open single.php in a text editor and replace

<?php if (function_exists(wp23_related_posts())) {

with

<?php if (function_exists(’wp23_related_posts’)) {

If you just want to use this theme, you can get the updated archive here. The link in the original post also points to this updated version.

Urgent security update! Update immediately, especially if new users can register on your blog.

WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. A flaw was found in our XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow any valid user to edit posts of any other user on that blog. In addition to fixing this security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes a few minor bugs. If you are interested only in the security fix, download the fixed version of xmlrpc.php and copy it over your existing xmlrpc.php. Otherwise, you can get the entire release here.

BRB, I have to upgrade five Wordpress installations.
