Re: [wp-testers] WordPress 3.0.3 and Akismet
Dion - Is this why the graphs/pie are not showing up when viewing Akismet Stats (2.5.0)? I had to fall back to 2.4.0 on 4 different (single user) WordPress 3.0.3 sites due to this problem. All 4 sites use the same basic, regularly updated plugins and all previous versions of Akismet have worked properly. Also, I tested out Akismet 2.5.0 in a test site using the nightly builds of 3.1 (via the Beta Tester plugin) and, with no other plugins activated, 2.5.0 is exhibiting the same problem as seen in WP 3.0.3. No graphs/pie are showing when viewing Akismet Stats.

The WordPress 3.0.x branch is (for the first time ever) linked to a specific revision of akismet, specifically, the 2.4 branch. WordPress 3.1 is directed to the Akismet 2.5 branch.

[wp-testers] Still shows WordPress 3.1 (alpha) and the new Admin Bar is gone
I've been using the WordPress Beta Tester plugin (set to Bleeding edge nightlies) to current with the latest nightly builds of 3.1 since the beginning of development. I haven't been able to update for awhile now due to other responsibilities taking precedence but I updated today and I've noticed something in that the admin footer still shows: You are using a development version (3.1-alpha). Cool! Please stay updated. Considering that 3.1 is supposed to be released sometime next month (as per Weblog Tools Collection) I'm a bit surprised that the footer still shows 3.1 as alpha.

When the beta is released, I will send an email to this list, as I have in the past, suggesting how it it used most effectively. Generally, that means that if you are unsure if something is a bug, send it here, and we can triage it, figure out how to reproduce what you're seeing, and decide whether it requires a Trac ticket. If you have enough experience to know something deserves a Trac ticket, you can skip this whole process. With regards to the internal server error, without any knowledge of the server setup, it's a useless bug report, and it's hardly something I can look into even if I tried. It's not a bug, it's a support request. It doesn't belong here, at least without more information. The autosave process is configurable, by both time between autosaves, also with the ability to turn it off. If you are not satisfied with WordPress, patches and *constructive feedback* are both welcome with open arms. Otherwise, you may wish to slop together your own piece of software that better meets your needs and requirements instead of calling us names.

Re: [wp-testers] Update Notification Anomaly
Hey Jeff, Not too sure which update notification you're referring to whether it's the small highlighted icon with a number indicating the number of updates available seen to the right of Dashboard and plugins sub-menus when an update(s) is available (or when you hover over the Dashboard and Plugins menu icons when the menus are collapsed) or if, in your list of installed plugins, the update notification is not appearing under the associated plugin once the list appears. Anyway... I attempted to duplicate the problem by changing the version of one of my active plugins to a previous version number. Once that was done, the update notification icon appeared in both the Dashboard menu and the Plugins menu. I first clicked on Dashboard/Updates to make sure the plugin was listed in the available plugin updates section--it was and the update icon was still there next to the Dashboard and Plugins menus. I then clicked on Plugins in the Plugins menu and this took me to my list of installed plugins, the update icon was also still there by both menus. In my plugins list, under the plugin with the changed version number, was the more detailed update notification with the link to view the details of the update and the link to update the plugin automatically. This is the way it has always worked for me since they introduced automatic updating along and the little update icons that show the number of updates available as described above. To me this is how it was designed to work. Does this help or did I miss something you saw...or did not see as the case may be. ;-) On 09/14/2010 01:40 PM, Jeff Chandler wrote: I'm using WordPress 3.0.1 and I've noticed that when I'm told there is an update for a plugin, if I click the plugins link located within the Plugins menu, it will take me to the list of plugins I have installed and the update notification disappears.

It's still just the DB constants, language, table prefix, and the conditional ABSPATH define (which is actually only there for backwards compatibility). In 3.0, we also added a reference to WP_DEBUG, simply to raise its profile among plugin developers. There are also scores of other optional constants that control other deeper aspects of WordPress such as moving the wp-content, uploads or plugins directories or various cookie constants. If you installed your blog before 2.6 or so, I'd check to see if you ever added the salt and key constants.

Yes, it is best to leave it out UNLESS it causes bug reports. However, people new to PHP often assume that PHP tags must be balanced. Instead of verifying their assumption they call attention to the issue. This is understandable (we've all been there) so I have another solution: You can add a comment to the end of the file: /* PHP does not require a closing tag (?) at the end of a script. Actually it's safer this way, as you are less likely to break your site. You see, blank lines after the closing tag cause PHP to send the headers. It has to send them before the first byte of the response can be sent. Later, WordPress tries to send headers and PHP throws a warning. So the omitted ? is not a bug; don't email anybody about it. However, it is necessary to close this comment to avoid an even worse error so we'll do that now. */ Andy ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers

Re: [wp-testers] WordPress 3.0-Beta1 via auto-update
Same here. I'm using the WP-Beta-Tester plugin set at Bleeding edge in order to keep updated with the latest nightlies. After updating this morning I'm still seeing WordPress 3.0-alpha in the admin footer. is beta 1 not pushed via the trunk or was there just an oversight in updating the admin footer text?

Hi Paul, I stated that yesterday as well before the beta was released. Or maybe the beta actually was released with yesterday's build and not announced until today?

Re: [wp-testers] Menus broken with today's build (03-23-10)
To all, Please disregard problem #3 in my original post. Clicking on Save Menu at the top of the sidebar after changes are made does save the new menu configuration. Just by habit I expect either a Save Changes type button at the bottom of the page or, like the Widgets page, have any changes save automatically as soon as there made. I realize that's a mistake on my part and I should have checked more closely Numbers 1 and 2 are still valid although I was able to clear the board so to speak and redo my menus as before. Happy bug hunting. On 03/23/2010 10:08 PM, Paul Robinson wrote: No problems for me so far with the latest build.

Re: [wp-testers] No comment notification using WP 3.0-alpha
Hi Dion, The email address associated with the test site is not a Gmail address but one directly associated with my web host. This used to be required by WordPress as email addresses external to the web host/site itself were not allowed as many hosts added this check as a security measure. The standard format for a site related email address was wordpr...@domainname.***. (This info was located in the WP docs somewhere but I can't recall exactly where off the top of my head.) *Note*: Westi once made me a small plugin that circumvented this requirement (requirement came in WP 2.5 I believe?) called php-no-sender which worked great back then but does not help the problem in WP 3.0. I did state that the Subscribe to Comments plugin was correctly sending notifications to a couple Gmail addresses I had set up for testing purposes. Also, I confirmed this problem last night with a couple of friends of mine who are also running WP 3.0-alpha test sites. They're both experiencing the same exact problem of receiving every notification I mentioned previously except the standard comment notifications as described in my original post. All 3 of us are running the PHP5 (5.2.11 in my case). Deactivating plugins does not change the problem by the way. I wish I could recall when the WP 3.0 nightly builds stopped sending comment notifications but I haven't been able to track it down. Sorry if this is too much info. I tend to be wordy.

[wp-testers] Nightly build revision number in admin footer?

Re: [wp-testers] Nightly build revision number in admin footer?
Thanks for the info Dougal, Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Once activated there's no change in the WP 3.0 admin footer. No extra line in the admin footer that indicates the revision number and path (as it says in the description). I tried deactivating my plugins in case one was interfering but no difference. Perhaps it's a problem for those using the WordPress Beta Tester plugin to keep updated rather than the more traditional SVN approach? Either way it's hardly a testing showstopper. I was just wondering whether it was possible for the devs to add the revision number back into the admin footer like it was back when.

Unless it was returned as part of the update check API (which isn't a bad idea), WordPress would have no idea which revision it was running. Ah, that's what I thought. No problem then. It's much easier for me (probably my only choice for that matter) to use the Beta Tester plugin than trying to use Subversion on shared hosting.

[wp-testers] Number of Updates still show available after upgrade.
I'm currently running a test site using the nightly builds of WordPress 3.0 (alpha) via the WordPress Beta Tester plugin. Things are looking great by the way! I've run across a bit of an anomaly with the new Updates menu item under the Dashboard menu in that it continually shows an update is available even though I ran the upgrade process. Initially it showed that there was 1 update available (no plugins needed updating so I assume this was referring to the WP core itself). I ran the auto-upgrade successfully, followed the link to the Dashboard (just to refresh page). Updates still showed that 1 was available. So, on a whim, I ran the upgrade again. Once that was done Updates now showed there was 2 available. Since the number of Updates appeared to be incrementing by 1 per upgrade ran, I auto-upgraded yet again just to see if would show that 3 Updates were available but it did not. Updates available still showed as 2. (Deactivating all plugins didn't change the problem) Can anyone else see if they could confirm this? ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers

Re: [wp-testers] Default.widgets.php Hacked? What to do?
I also, as a rule, don't store passwords locally. The single exception to this is FileZilla (Windows install) as it seems to give me no choice in the matter. And since it sends FTP login data to the server in plain text anyway does it really matter as long as your firewall and anti-malware protection is fully up to date? This is for local protection only since you can't do a damn thing once you hit the Connect button in FileZilla and your login data is out there for everyone to see. And for these folks who found their sites had been hacked, what OS were they running? If Windows, we're they properly protected (firewall? Anti-malware program? Which brand?) Just thinking out loud there... Just on the off-chance that this has affected my Windows machine and possibly any blogs I administer via FTP (all on the same host) I did a full anti-malware scan on my Windows partition and thoroughly checked the sites I administer and everything's clean. One thing I have to wonder about though. On a Windows (desktop) system would using Windows Encrypting File System (EFS) to encrypt the FileZilla (settings) folder and it's .xml files help prevent this type of thing from happening locally?

Re: [wp-testers] Default.widgets.php Hacked? What to do?
Thankfully I've only gone in using FTP on 2 of them within the last 2 months so I (and they) should be okay. Still, I'll have to check the files on each of those 2 if not re-upgrade 2.8.2 altogether just to be safe. Such is life in the online world.

Re: [wp-testers] Quick Request...
Pat, I recommend using the WordPress Mobile Edition plugin as it seems to cover most of the current mobile devices out there and is updated on a regular basis. It's Carrington theme-based and is scalable meaning it shows a clean and simple interface for the less capable mobile devices and offers up more advanced offerings of the theme for the more advanced phones. Here's the plugin link: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-edition/ Make sure you read the installation intstructions carefully since you have to move the mobile theme from the plugin's directory to your theme directory once it's installed. Works fine for my blog and you can check out how it's working using http://www.opera.com/mini/demo/ as Matt suggested.

Hi all, Quick update: Upping the PHP memory limit to 64mb wasn't necessary.

I auto-upgraded another one of my 2.7.1 sites to 2.8 (uses all the same plugins | PHP memory limit = 32mb) and everything worked fine while my first site's still down with a 500 error. This makes absolutely no sense at all. Auto-upgrading, even with the old wp auto-upgrade plugin always worked flawlessly. My error logs are even clear so I have nowhere to start troubleshooting the problem. I'll try an old fashioned manual upgrade to 2.8 on the site that's currently down.

[wp-testers] Auto upgrade to 2.8 not working?
Is anyone else having a problem with the WP auto upgrade stopping at Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.zip;? I don't have any problem updating manually but I always like to check out the auto upgrade function to any new version. I've never encountered a problem before but this time it stops at the above notification with the browser reporting it's Done loading the page (where it only reports Done once the upgrade is complete). Nothing is downloaded and nothing is in the Upgrade directory online. Possible server problem?

Re: [wp-testers] Auto upgrade to 2.8 not working?
Okay, so I upped the limit to 64mb which seemed to solve the stuck upgrade process. The upgrade took place normally and announced that all was successful then promptly gave me a 500 error when I tried navigating to the Dashboard. Now the entire site is down. I have a php.ini file with the php memory limit set to 64mb in the root directory, wp-admin and wp-includes directory. I should believe that's the proper locations but if there's another please let me know. First time this has ever happened and it seems a bit strange that 2.8 should require more than 32mb php memory for an auto upgrade since it's not the most involved upgrade that WordPress has ever had. Looks like it's all manual from now on.

[wp-testers] Text wrap function for new Plugin/theme editor?
I was happily surprised when I saw the new plugin/theme editor complete with syntax highlighting and line numbers. Very welcome change indeed. One thing that I now I'd appreciate is the ability to 'wrap' the text to the editor field rather than have long lines disappear off the right hand side. Is it possible to provide this option as part of the editor page for 2.8?

Re: [wp-testers] New plugin editor gone?
Okay, on further examination it appears that the new editor isn't showing up when using Google Chrome (Dev channel release) but it is when using Firefox. It also shows properly in IE 8.0 but locks up the browser shortly after editor is rendered if IE 8.0 is set to standards mode. If IE 8.0 is set to 'compliance' mode the new editor is also shown but doe nit lock up the browser. Good thing I use Firefox, yes? On 3/21/2009 2:35 PM, scribu wrote: Working fine here.

[wp-testers] 2.8 latest | All Dashboard modules aligned left
I've just updated my local WordPress sandbox to the latest (Stay Updated) build and noticed that when the Dashboard is set to 2 or more columns, all modules are aligned left and cannot be moved elsewhere. The modules can actually be moved but do not drop into any other column, snapping back to their original place in the left column. Note: The modules resize correctly depending on how many columns I chose from the Screen options. They just won't drop anywhere except the left hand column. I can also rearrange the modules to different positions in the left hand column as well.

[wp-testers] Spamming comment from email very slow (2.7)
Hey folks, I've come across a rather consistent problem with the 2.7 Admin when marking a comment as spam (or approving or deleting it) from the Spam it link in a notification email. It takes upwards of 45-50 seconds to accomplish once the comment is marked as spam from the resulting admin page to where the comment ends up in the spam queue. However, if I spam a comment from the admin's comment page rather than the admin page launched by the Spam it link in the email, it only takes a few seconds to accomplish the same task. Any ideas why this may be occuring? The rest of the 2.7 admin runs nice and quick even without Gears enabled (I'm using Firefox 3.1 builds--not compatible with Google Gears yet). I've tested this with other browsers set as default and it's the same thing. ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
Re: [wp-testers] Re: [wp-hackers] Codex function page proposal
Hi Jacob, Understanding that you must be having a discussion pertaining to or in relationship to the WordPress Codex (always a touchy subject, worse than discussing the WP forums) at the wp-hackers list, I'm wondering if you perhaps sent your reply to the ongoing discussion to the wrong list? Considering how out of context it is to the current wp-testers threads I just thought you might have. ;) Good points though and thanks for the link to the PHP Docs. Didn't even know they existed...which, I assume from the subject of your email, must be a major portion of the discussion you're having over at the wp-hackers list. And your work is always appreciated. :) -- From: Jacob Santos wordpr...@santosj.name Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2008 9:47 PM To: wp-hack...@lists.automattic.com; wp-testers@lists.automattic.com Subject: [wp-testers] Re: [wp-hackers] Codex function page proposal I want you guys to pay attention, because this is most likely going to be a long post and skipping parts will lose information. I would say, it is a really bad idea, because I know so, but that argument doesn't work with children, so I doubt it would work with adults. The problem with function documentation on the codex is even worse than having it in the source code. At least in the source code, there is a chance, albeit a slim one that the documentation will be updated when a change is made. That is problem, most patches I've seen don't bother updating the comments when the comments should be updated. What makes you think they are going to take the time to update the codex page either? You are duplicating efforts. I have committed to keeping the inline documentation updated, I'm sure as hell not going to duplicate my efforts for the codex as well. I figure it will take merely a week before a release, to check to make sure that the documentation is complete, that any new functions has documentation, and go through and check and tighten up old documentation. I'm going to extend that time further by updating the codex as well. Having the documentation on the codex was good, when inline documentation was sparse and the function reference didn't exist (http://phpdoc.wordpress.org/trunk/) I will suggest you link to that for the parameters, return types, and other information already contained in the function documentation site. I would rather see more of http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API type pages. Function reference pages are only good when you know what you are searching for. You have to know that the function exists, before you can go to it. It is to remind you of information you already know or to give you more information that doesn't exist elsewhere. It is meant for programmers, but it is useless to programmers without some companion to let them know they should be looking for it. The reason the PHP function reference works, so well, is that it is written in DocBook and contains codex type information, as well as function reference type information. There isn't a function reference for PHP, nor is there a codex (like WordPress has) for PHP. PHP just has both in one. They don't duplicate efforts, because everyone's effort is in the DocBook. Therefore, if there is a change, they just do so in one place. Whereas for WordPress, you have two places, you already have the function reference. Therefore, the parameters, return types, and other miscellaneous function relevant information is known there. For the Codex, I would rather like to see more examples. There is a reason I didn't put examples in the inline documentation, I knew the codex was the best place to put it. It is a place that has many contributors, can easily be updated, and examples don't need to be changed or updated often. If examples need to be updated, then a regression has occurred and it is a defect that needs to be fixed or documented and the example corrected. I figured that the best place to have documentation about parameters, return types, and other information specific to the function was inline to the function. I figured the best place to have the examples was in the Codex. The reason there are sometimes examples in the inline documentation is that there wasn't a codex page for the function or it was someone else who thought it would be a good idea. No, the codex should have more pages like the Shortcode API Codex page. Actually, there shouldn't really be very many function specific pages either. It was my hope that the focus would be more on the layman descriptions explaining the functions and examples on how to use the functions than on parameters and return types. I am not much of a writer, I've tried to do this before and it is terribly boring to me. I haven't even wrote the HTTP API Codex page either. Really that is my fault, but I mean it isn't that difficult, or at least it isn't to me. I've leave you

Since you're on FeedBurner the best thing you can do first is to log in to your account and go to the Troubleshootize tab and use FeedMedic to check your site's raw feed for basic errors and then use the validity checks in the Fix section in the content area to find the specific errors. You'll see two links, one for the original check and one for the FeedBurner check (both bounce it against W3C standards). Between the two you should find what the exact problem is.

Re: [wp-testers] RSS error
You can also try the FD FeedBurner plugin which is compatible
with 2.7. If that does not work then the .htaccess is the way
to go. It didn't occur to me before but I had to switch from
the old FeedSmith plugin to FD FeedBurner when I upgraded to
2.7. My feed was okay but it stopped redirecting to my
burned feed.

If the feed works ok with the feedburner plugin disabled
then the plugin is
probably breaking the template set by wordpress somehow.
Your best bet is to
leave the plugin disabled and use the htaccess I gave you.
If is still doesn't work with the feedburner plugin disabled
then I have no
idea. :?

Re: [wp-testers] 2.7 Cannot chnage URL in Incoming Links module.
On Technorati feeds, you can pick up the Blog Reactions feed for any site just by visiting that site on Technorati (or your own if you have one) and looking for the Blog Reactions list below the Posts list. Click the View all link at the top of the Reactions list and when the browser reloads there should be a feed icon for the Reactions page up in the address bar of your browser (Firefox, IE, etc). I just load the feeds page and copy the link form there. I'm thinking that like Text widgets, we should be able to add Feed modules to the Dashboard.

Now that I think of it, this happened to some of my regular readers as well when they included a single link in their comment (links in comments set to 2).

Re: [wp-testers] wp-admin/index.php gives a segmentation fault.
Quick question. Have you deactivated any plugins you might have activated (except Aksimet since that isn't known to cause problems) and then checking again to see if the problem still exists? I know you said it was random but perhaps there's a plugin that might effect the Dashboard either directly or indirectly. Just thinking out loud here since I haven't encountered your problem in either the development builds of 2.7 or the final. I haven't had any reports about this from the several folks whose WP powered sites I administer either. This kind of tells me that it might be plugin related.

I can pretty much confirm that this indeed happens but we need at least one other person to test in order to have solid verification.

[wp-testers] Cannot change RSS feed url for Incoming Links
For some reason, I can't seem to change the feed URL for the Dashboard's Incoming Links module in 2.7. It's one thing I didn't think to test during the development period. I'm attempting to change the Google blog search feed URL for my site to Technorati's feed URL Blog Reactions for my site. Once I insert the Technorati feed URL into the configuration settings for Incoming Links and hit Submit no change occurs on the Incoming Links module, it's still showing incoming links from Google blog search. Checking the configuration settings again shows the feed URL reverted back to the Google blog search URL. Clearing cache in the browser makes no difference.

Re: [wp-testers] Posts Don't Publish Via XML-RPC
Just for comparison purposes, I'm using the latest version of Windows Live Writer Beta as my main blog editor which also publishes using XML-RPC. I often post as draft and what you're seeing is not occurring when using WLW. ScribeFire might be sending some sort of incorrect data when posting as draft that isn't agreeing with 2.7. It wouldn't be the first time that's ever happened. I've used it off and on since it was called PFF and it's often gone funky on me. There's a recently updated version of ScribeFire (3.1.5). I load it up into FX 3.1 (nightly builds) later on today and see if I get the same thing you're seeing.

If I save the post and play around with the settings, I can get the SCHEDULE button to be replaced with the PUBLISH button. Just 5 minutes ago, I published the post bypassing the draft option from scribefire. When I logged into the WordPress backend, the publish button was gone an the post somehow was scheduled to be published.

[wp-testers] Any nightly builds since 2.7-RC1-10119?
Looks like the 2.7 trunk is up to 10144 and the 2.7 auto-upgrade is still updating to 10119 for the past two days. Just wondering if we're going be able to auto-upograde to any higher builds before 2.7 goes gold. ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
Re: [wp-testers] Adding Add new tag as new tag
Wow, is there really a lot of demand for for having the Admin open up to the editor when a user logs in? Personally I wouldn't want that since TinyMCE is the most resource intensive page in the Admin out of all the them. Still, if it can be done by a plugin, perhaps a fairly simple redirect controlled by putting a check box on the login page that when checked, takes you directly to the editor instead of the Dashboard.

Re: [wp-testers] Verifying core update works for the real 2.7 to 2.7.1
Unless I'm grossly mistaken, the .# versions are built on an as needed basis due to new security issues popping up (zero day hacks and the like) and/or a major issue or issues are found with the 2.7 series. Once a milestone release goes gold it shifts from trunk to branch and minor security/bug fix updates are made from that particular branch. There's no continuous development once 2.7-final is released and goes to branch that I know of.

Re: [wp-testers] Does auto update deactivate plugins?
Then for most if not all .# updates, deactivating plugins should not be neccessary at all. However, for major milestones it's probably a very good idea to deactivate all active plugins beforehand. Then again, it's probably a very good idea not to use the core auto-upgrade feature at all when upgrading to the next major milestone anyway.

Does running 2.7's new core auto update automatically deactivate plugins before updating and reactivate them after it's finished or does that still have to be done manually? During the upgrade, your blog is put in maintenance mode and loading is halted at the beginning of wp-settings.php. Nothing really runs, including plugins. The only thing allowed to run is the DB upgrade, which takes care of making sure plugins are not loaded. You don't need to deactivate plugins unless you like turning them back on one-by-one after upgrading to isolate any breakage they might cause. ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
Re: [wp-testers] Does auto update deactivate plugins?
Ideally, that would be true but with all the various combination of server set ups/WordPress configurations this is not often the case. In my experience in helping out other WP bloggers when their upgrades go bad, I'd have to say that close to 90% of the problems in upgrading (milestone releases) were caused by attempting to overwrite the wp-admin and wp-includes directories (with all their respective sub-directories) rather than deleting these directories first and then uploading the new ones from the next version. And nearly 100% of those problems were fixed by going back in and deleting the wp-admin and wp-includes directories and re-uploading them. Ideally overwriting these directories should work with no problem but in practice, it seldom does (even the instructions for upgrading at Wordpress.org says to delete those two directories first). I could be wrong but if I remember correctly, the auto-update feature overwrites any files/directories that need updating. For the minor in between security/bug fix releases, this is fine. But with major milestones, whole directories/sub-directories are replaced and if overwriting during the core auto-update is the current way of doing things then I would definitely do this type of upgrade manually. But to answer your question directly, since the larger portion of WP upgrades are those minor .# security/bug fix updates that come out between milestones, encouraging upgrading and promoting a more secure blog is exactly what the new auto-upgrade feature accomplishes. But I think it's important for all WP bloggers to realize that it's still very necessary to know how to work/manually upgrade their install via FTP because there are many times when that's all they'll have to rely on. The new core auto-updater is not a replacement for FTP, it's a supplement. Dissenting views welcome. (and sorry for the long reply...I'm a wordy bast***) On 12/7/2008 12:04 PM, Michael E.

Re: [wp-testers] Verifying core update works for the real 2.7 to 2.7.1
Ah, something I want to know as well. Since a few of my clients had requested to be updated to 2.7 RC1+ it would be nice to know if I'll be doing the update to 2.7-final automatically or manually (auto-updating to the final should be fine as I can't imagine there's any major changes from the current trunk to the final version).
