WordPress 2.7.2 for iOS is now available.

WordPress 2.7.2 for iOS is now available at iTunes App Store. The update includes:

  • Fixed crash when the password had a space, on comment moderation, plus 7 more.
  • Several bugfixes.
  • Use blavatars instead of favicons.
  • XML-RPC fix for self-hosted blogs. (Note: if you were unable to use 2.7.1, you should be able to use this version!)

WordPress for iOS team also revealed the new features for version 2.8:

The most important to-do in the 2.8 road map is Localization. WordPress for iOS will now become much more accessible for many users. 2.8 will also introduce a Stats view (finally!), a Quick Photo button, as well as a few more nifty improvements.

WordPress for iOS will finally have Stats View just like its Android counterpart.

WordPress 3.1 Is Now Available.

WordPress 3.1 is now available. If you are using WordPress 3.x you can easily update your WordPress installation to version 3.1 with a push of a button. It is wise to back-up your database before doing so.

I have been running WordPress 3.1 since the beta versions. All of my WordPress installations are on version 3.1 as of this morning.

Free WordPress Theme, a lesson in security.

So you are running your own WordPress site. There are a lot of things you need to be aware of to keep it secure. Keep up with the releases, be mindful of the plugins and know where you get the theme from.

Siobhan Ambrose at WPMU.org:

A few months ago I wrote about WordPress Security. Now, armed only with the words “free WordPress themes,” builtBackwards’ Theme Authenticity Checker Plugin and Donncha O Caoimh’s Exploit Scanner, I’m going to take a look through the first page of Google to see just how safe pages ranking for “Free WordPress Themes” are.

…….

Out of the ten sites on the first page of Google, here are the stats:

  • Safe: 1
  • Iffy: 1
  • Avoid: 8

It is not a surprise, just like searching for “free movie download” and getting a list of danger-laden sites. If you a WordPress site hosted by WordPress.com, then you can be assured that it is as safe as it can be. As always, look for free themes through WordPress.org site.
