Update & Check your version

09:27 Wednesday 29 Jun 05

UPDATE !
Version 1.5.1.3 is now available - http://wordpress.org/download.
This addresses a security issue. Use it !

  1. Go get this: Version Checking plugin
  2. Install
  3. Rest safely knowing that you will be notified if WP is updated for security reasons.

And I can STILL see lots of blogs that are not 1.5.1.3
You know… it would probably take them longer to hack your blog if you posted your ftp details.

(Bri / Daniel - you are upgraded, as is ted-crane, the sandbox installs, the trackback blog and 6 others elsewhere. Painless stuff :) )

  • BACKUP your database !
  • BACKUP your files …… then …..
  • Delete /wp-admin/
  • Delete /wp-includes/
  • Delete all the wordpress files in the same directory as wp-rss2.php EXCEPT wp-config.php
  • Upload the new ones
  • Run http://example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php

    • Erm using the version check plugin you posted Mark, According to that I am still on WP 1.5.1.1 !!!!! My point being that the patch I commented on a day or so ago, line of code to patch to 1.5.1.2 can’t have worked!.

    • joss: My version check plugin relies on a full upgrade being done so that the wordpress version number gets updated too rather than just the simple patch which fixes the vulnerabity.

    • Thanks for that westi. I just editied the Vars.php to change the version number after doing the patch.

    • Joss - vars.php does not hold the version number.

      I ALWAYS recommend that people do a FULL upgrade unless they have a heavily hacked install and know precisely what they are doing. Fiddling with little files and individual lines of code takes longer and can lead to errors. For want of a few seconds, it’s not worth it.

    • Thank you Mark. My apologies re Vars.php, it should have read Version.php. I’ll get back under my rock now.

    • WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!

      For those of you who have modified their quicktags.js file, as explained by Mark @ http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/quicktags/, remember to back it up and re-upload it after making the upgrade. It’ll save you time, and the unnecessary rise in blood pressure.

      Cheers,

      Sylvain
