Upgrade to Wordpress 2.9.2

Upgrade to WordPress 2.9.2

18 February, 2010 - 07:00 AM - 7 Comments

I upgraded WordPress to 2.9.2 yesterday after reading that it fixes a potential security vulnerability where registered accounts on your blog can see posts sent to the trashcan. This could potentially have lead to revealing information you may not have wanted to reveal to people who are registered on your blog (readers or other contributor accounts). If you run a blog that requires registered users or you have contributors on your blog I would highly recommend you upgrade to WordPress 2.9.2 as quickly as possible to plug this hole.

So far I upgraded 3 of my blogs and haven’t noticed any negative side effects, all my plug-ins are intact and my blogs are working without issue.

I recently Started blogging and when I install Wordpress my hosting installed 2.9.1 instead of 2.9.2.
And I had to manually upgrade the wordpress to the latest version. though it was not tough though initially I thought of it as quite scary.

Some providers have scripts that do it too.

Thanks for adding "So far.. and haven’t noticed any negative side effects..." I was holding back on the upgrade for fear of the previous upgrade issues. Thanks man, I will be upgrading my blog to 2.9.2

Heard there's going to be some major updating upon reaching 3.0. The good thing about Wordpress is that they are solving existing issues continuously. That's good support. :-)
