If you are feeling brave, WordPress 2.7 Release Candidate 1 is now available for download by the general public. As many of you are aware 2.7 features a redesign of the backend user interface.

Just so no one else out there thinks that they have lost their mind, there was never a wordpress 2.6.4, instead there was a bogus version of wordpress floating around that wasn’t legit so the guys at AutoMattic in an effort to stay ahead of the folks issuing 2.6.4 have opted to skip that version […]

Automattic has posted some screenshots of what the revised Dashboard and Post Page is going to look like in the WordPress 2.7 Release Candidate. A while back you might remember a survey that Automattic put out asking for input on what changes developers and bloggers would like to see in the next release candidate. Like […]

SQL Truncate & mt_rand()

September 18, 2008 by Cotton Rohrscheib Leave a Comment

For anyone that may have wondered why the upgrade to 2.6.2 was so important, here’s a pretty good explanation I found on WordPress Developers Blog tonight. It has to do with a SQL column truncation issue that could basically alter users login credentials, etc. Stefan Esser recently warned developers of the dangers of SQL Column […]
