wordpress 3.0.2: mandatory upgrade
 

Just moments ago, WordPress 3.0.2 was released to the public. This version is a mandatory security upgrade. According to the release notes

thanks, updating now :thumbsup

just uploaded wordpress to like 10 sites

time to unload them

do i have to upgrade all of my sites? all of them even if i dont allow user registrations? isnt that set to off by default?

Fuck this, I'll wait a bit. Takes all day to do these updates on so many sites... I don't trust any auto-updating on my handwritten blogs.

if you have registeations turned off, you should be fine.

all my blogs have registrations turned off, no other authors but myself...does that mean my 3.0.1 installs are safe?

Hey fris, any way to update several WP blogs at a time? I've been thinking of doing a WP MU install but it's not the best solution.

well I'm all updated :thumbsup

few ways, via svn, or with an app, wpautoinstaller manages all your installs from 1 interface, so you can upgrade or downgrade.

fris, does the one click upgrade from multi-site work sitewide? Should i be worried about clicking the upgrade button?

good times. another update

Open reg multi author blogs are a bad idea anyway, invite people if you must, but don't let them register, you'll just end up with spam

Thanks very much for the heads up, Fris!

Fris turned me on tgo the new multisites setup and with domain mapping it works pretty well.

all of my upgrades went w/o a hitch.
This upgrade does do a database upgrade so be sure you do a back up of your current DB just in case...as you should anyway.

I run all my wordpress sites from one install so that it only takes one upgrade and there all done!

yeah that's a nice way to run things, makes it pretty easy.

don't keep all eggs in one wordpress installation :winkwink:

think I saw you posting on codecanyon in an item comment. not sure if that was you.

Thanks for the heads up. It is times like these that I wish I only had a handful of blogs lol

Does this only affect you if you allow other people to register and make actual posts?

Or does it also affect you if you allow people to register to post comments only?

edit: Sounds like it's just for multi-author blogs.
