ALERT: Old WordPress Blogs Under Attack

All WordPress blogs up to version 2.8.3 are reportedly being attacked and hacked.

The latest WordPress version 2.8.4 seems to be SAFE.

The blogs on WordPress.com are SAFE as the WordPress.com system is up-to-date.

Thank you so much for Lorelle on WP for making a post about this, so I got the news (check Lorelle’s post for all the info).

Quick Fix to IntenseDebate Plugin WordPress 2.8 Problem

Have you updated to WordPress 2.8 and you would like to use IntenseDebate plugin for your comments?

IntensePlugin breaks some functionality in the admin area, but in the blog itself it’s working OK.

Now there is a quick fix to get the admin area working normally with IntenseDebate plugin (Thanks to Valentino Aluigi at maverick.it)!

How To Quick Fix Your IntenseDebate Plugin after WordPress 2.8 Upgrade

  1. EDIT intensedebate.php (go to Plugins >> click edit on IntenseDebate)
  2. Go the very end of the file (just before the ?> at the end of the file)
  3. Add the code to the end, just before ?> or replace:

REPLACE:

?>

WITH:

	if(is_admin() && !(strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],
	'page=id_settings') || strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],
	'intensedebate'))) wp_deregister_script('id_settings');
?>
  • Quick fix code by “postream” at the getsatisfaction.com / IntenseDebate support thread.
  • “poststream’s” personal site: Valentino Aluigi (Italian)

Official fix and update to the plugin should be coming today by “beaulebens” of IntenseDebate.

Before You Upgrade WordPress Version 2.8

WordPress Upgrade Checklist:

  • You did backup everything already, right?
  • Upgrade all plugins (especially if plugin has been updated for the new version)
  • Deactivate all plugins
  • Do the Upgrade
  • Reactivate the plugins, starting from The Most Essential WordPress plugins
  • Check that everything is working OK, on both your blog and admin side
  • Things to look for
    • Check that you can re-arrange and move the widgets
    • Is everything working in the Add New Post window alright? (try preview, most used tags, etc.)
  • If something seems to wrong, deactivate the plugin you activated last and check again, repeat until you’ve cleared all plugins
