Comments on: WordPress 2.5 Upgrade Plans http://support.pressharbor.com/2008/04/02/wordpress-25-upgrade-plans/ Help for your PressHarbor Powered WordPress Weblog Fri, 21 Nov 2008 04:28:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: PressHarbor Support http://support.pressharbor.com/2008/04/02/wordpress-25-upgrade-plans/#comment-13 PressHarbor Support Sat, 26 Apr 2008 01:05:37 +0000 http://support.pressharbor.com/?p=79#comment-13 Thanks for your feedback, Des. Seems like 2.5.1 is more of an emergency patch than an actual bug fix release... I think we're going to err on the side of caution here, and continue to monitor things... As for the name thing, I think that's an error with our template customization; I'll need to look into that. And note to self: lookup meaning of "contretemps." Thanks for your feedback, Des.

As for the name thing, I think that’s an error with our template customization; I’ll need to look into that.

And note to self: lookup meaning of “contretemps.”

A lot of people are; clearly the language used is not particularly accurate. Fact: 2.3.3 is not vulnerable to the "problem affecting thousands of WordPress blogs." Note the language: "the security issue addressed by the 2.3.3 release." See? 2.3.3 addressed the security issue. Your PressHarbor blog is on 2.3.3 and is not affected by the security issue because it has already been addressed in the version you are using. It is not affected, not compromised, and you should not be concerned by Technorati crying fire in the Wordpress theatre. We will provide you with information regarding our 2.5.x (you really didn't think we would update you to a point zero, did you?) update plans as soon as they become available.

We read that Technorati announced earlier this week they will stop indexing WordPress sites which are still on earlier versions, citing security issues even where 2.3.3 is installed. http://technorati.com/weblog/2008/04/424.html Any comment? Any indication of when you would be ready to install the upgrade? John
