Upgrade To WordPress 2.8.5 Hardening Release

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

As you know WordPress 2.9 is on the way out end of this month. But I can’t wait anymore to upgrade WordPress to version 2.8.5. Not the version has great features, but to resolve some blog’s errors.

Let’s see what is new in WordPress 2.8.5 before go to fix my blog’s errors. Headline changes in the release are:

  • Fix for the Trackback Denial-Of-Service (DOS) attack
  • Fine tune PHP code variables
  • File upload functionality to be whitelisted for all users
  • Retiring of the two importers of Tag data

No big surprise. Just better security fixes. Then why I take the upgrade?

There are few errors in my blog recently, could be more than a month i think:

  • Once publish new post, it turn to blank instead of admin page.
  • Can’t build XML sitemap for search engines.
