Wordpress 2.8.2 Already

[dav3]

WordPress 2.8.2 fixes an XSS vulnerability. Comment author URLs were not fully sanitized when displayed in the admin. This could be exploited to redirect you away from the admin to another site. Download 2.8.2 or automatically upgrade from the Tools->Upgrade page of your blog?s admin.

I'll pay someone a couple bucks to update a couple of my things, everytime I do it I fuck my sites up. Also need someone to pull some rss news feeds for people in the news

This could be exploited to redirect you away from the admin to another site.

no admin, just some good ole fashion common sense

The upgrading of 30 some blogs every couple of days just sucks!

[Rochard]

I don't jump to update every time a new version comes out. What I usually do is every other month or so I'll spend an hour updating and testing the latest version of WP with my plugins, and update all of my plugins at the same time.

This time around I discovered one of my favorite plugins doesn't play nicely with the newest version of WP. In fact, the plugin is WP Navi and the newest version of the plugin doesn't work with the newest version of WP. I just figured a way around it earlier tonight.

you can use WP MU and then use as many blogs as you want, so when you have to update you'll need to update only once

i thought WPMU is only for one domain? can i manage several blogs on different domains & hosts with it?

[Nicky]

I still have some blogs running on 2,5, I'm lazy and It's a pain updating 100+ of those buggers.

No, hosts has to be the same (in fact it's possible to use it on several servers but it would be a pain in the ass)

However, you can use it on as many domains as you want, instead of setting whatever.yourdomain.com you can use yourdomain1.com, anotherdomain.com, awesomedomain.com and so on. You just need to do this simple modification:

In wp-newblog.php, replace the line:

print '<input name="weblog_id" type="text" id="weblog_id" value="'.$weblog_id.'" maxlength="50" style="width:40%; text-align: right; font-size: 30px;" /><span style="font-size: 30px">.' . $current_site->domain . '</span><br />(<strong>Your address will be username.' . $current_site->domain . '.</strong> Must be at least 4 characters, letters and numbers only. It cannot be changed so choose carefully!)</td> </tr>';

with:

print '<input name="weblog_id" type="text" id="weblog_id" value="'.$weblog_id.'" maxlength="50" style="width:40%; text-align: right; font-size: 30px;" /><span style="font-size: 30px">.</span><select name="weblog_domain" style="width:50%; text-align: right; font-size: 30px;" /><option value="journals.ie">journals.ie</option><option value="galwaycity.com">galwaycity.com</option></select><br />(<strong>Your address will be username.domainname.com.</strong> Must be at least 4 characters, letters and numbers only. It cannot be changed so choose carefully!)</td> </tr>';

Also, after the lines:

if( substr( $domain, 0, 4 ) == 'www.' ) $domain = substr( $domain, 4 );

add the line:

$domain = $_POST[ 'weblog_domain' ];

or if you don't want to complicate your life, simply use WPMU DEV Multi Site Manager and problem solved
