Upgrade your blog with WordPress 2.3.2

wordpress.jpgAfter around 30 days after the release of WordPress 2.3.2, I have finally updated my blog. Now abhisays.com is powered by wordpress 2.3.2. This is actually a security release which is done to fix the bug that can be used to expose your draft posts. 2.3.2 also suppressed some error messages that can give away information about wordpress database table structure and limits and stops some information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations. Now all these bugs are fixed in WordPress 2.3.2. After the update, I need to test my blog whether all plugins and modules are working fine or not. It is my request to all my readers, if you find any bug on my blog then please ping me through my contact me form.
So friends if you are still using wordpress 2.3.1, then it’s Update time as 2.3.2 fixes some severe security issues and adds a new nice feature of custom database error page.
However you can use Wordpress Automatic upgrade to update your wordpress version. It allows a user to automatically upgrade the wordpress installation to the latest one provided by wordpress.org using the 5 steps provided in the wordpress upgrade instructions. It is so simple that even a newbie can do the upgrade in 5 minutes. Now see how does it works

  1. Wordpress automatic upgrade upgrades your wordpress installation by doing the following steps.
  2. Backs up the files and makes available a link to download it.
  3. Backs up the database and makes available a link to download it.
  4. Downloads the latest files from http://wordpress.org/latest.zip and unzips it.
  5. Puts the site in maintenance mode.
  6. De-activates all active plugins and remembers it.
  7. Upgrades wordpress files.
  8. Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
  9. Re-activates the plugins

And if you are using cpanel hosting, then you can do the upgrade in just three click. :-) If you have any problem in upgradation of wordpress, leave a comment here. I will try to help you.

    Hi Ajay, the reason for this new release are some security reasons. I have pointed out those reasons in my article but for details you have to visit the official wordpress website.

    WordPress 2.3.3 is also released.
    http://wordpress.org/development/2008/02/wordpress-233/
    WordPress 2.3.3 is also 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. In addition to fixing this security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes vulnerability in the WP-Forum plugin
