WordPress 3.5.1 Security Update


WordPress 3.5.1 tightens security and stops HTML from disappearing

The WordPress developers have announced a maintenance update to the popular open source blogging software. WordPress 3.5.1 fixes 37 bugs and addresses three security issues, including two cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Users running WordPress on IIS might run into a problem that prevents the upgrade; the developers have prepared documentation to help users work around this problem.

Security issues addressed in the update include a server-side request forgery problem that allowed the exposure of information through pingbacks. According to the developers, this vulnerability could help attackers compromise an unpatched WordPress site. Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities were fixed in the external Plupload library and in the shortcode and post content handling.

Several bugs were also fixed with the release, this includes disappearing HTML elements in the editor as well as from scheduled posts, and minor workflow improvements in the media manager that was introduced with WordPress 3.5 in December. WordPress now suggests rewrite rules when the user changes the network it is installed in. The software will also recover from faulty JavaScript in themes that would otherwise prevent access to the administration area. A complete list of fixes is available in the change log.


The Ultimate Facebook Plugin


Drive the Connection between Facebook and your Blogging Site


This one stop, do-it-all Facebook plugin makes it easy to integrate just about everything that is possible between your WordPress site and Facebook.
We developed this plugin because, like you, we were tired of having to install up to a dozen different plugins to get just some of the features listed below.

Here is just a taste of what it can do:

  • Facebook Connect – Allow, or force, users to register and login with their Facebook info – a login widget included
  • User Profiles – Automatically fill in fields in user profiles when they register
  • Autopost – Make it simple to post new content (custom post types as well!) to user’s walls, fan pages, events, or notes
  • Comments - Import comments made on Facebook about a post into your WordPress site
  • Like and Send Buttons - With every customization option imaginable – place on posts, pages, custom post types, or with available shortcodes
  • OpenGraph - Have complete control over the thumbnail image posted to facebook when users like/send or you autopost
  • Facebook Albums – Display images from a Facebook album – as a widget or using new icon in page/post editor
