The next six months in WordPress development are going to be pretty exciting considering the possible scope of 3.0, a new default theme and of course, the merge of WordPress MU into the codebase of WordPress. Anyone who has been keeping an eye on trac may have noticed that the merging process has already begun. They might have also noticed the addition of a new core commiter known as WPMUGuru who is Ron Rennick. Ron has a ton of experience working with WPMU under the hood so it’s only natural that he was brought on board to help with the merge. If you’re looking to find out what the scope will be for WordPress 3.0 and are wondering about how the merging process will take place, I invite you to join the WordPress Developers chat being held today at 4PM EST. In fact, here is the detailed information regarding the […]

WordPress fans are out in full force over the new admin interface presented in MovableType 5.1 which was released today. The controversy stems from how eerily similar the admin interface resembles the one that was introduced in WordPress 2.7. The similarities are easy to spot when you look at both interfaces side by side as evident by the post on BloggingPro.com. No doubt about it, the interfaces look the same albeit with MT’s added touches. While many fans of WordPress are giving Six Apart an earful, I’ve taken a bit more relaxed approach. One of the things that people constantly refer to WordPress for is its publishing interface. Since this interface is loved by many, is it really any surprise that something similar to it would appear in other publishing platforms? Also, I highly doubt WordPress was the first to have the layout that it does now. So with that […]

[Continue Reading...]During an interesting discussion regarding suggestions on how to improve WordPress core development on the WordPress hackers mailing list, Ryan Boren who is one of the core contributors with committ access laid out the foundation as to what the team tries to accomplish with each release of WordPress. I thought it would be good to bring this into more of the open for those wondering what’s involved. ** Alpha ** * Collect feature ideas from ideas forum, support forums, most popular plugins, dev brainstorms, and other sources. * #wordpress-dev meetup to decide on which features we want to commit to and set the scope of the release * While this is going on, do some trac gardening of things that got punted from the previous release. We’re pretty bad about this sometimes, but with 3.0 Peter and I have been going through some of the backlog. * With features decided, […]

[Continue Reading...]I was notified on Twitter the other day that there was a new 0 Day denial of service exploit for WordPress. When asking on Twitter if it worked, numerous people replied that the published code did work and was taking down their sites. This raised some red flags for me so I jumped into the WordPress-Dev IRC channel to figure out what was going on. The way this denial of service attack works is that a random search string is sent to the search form of a WordPress based website. Caching plugins do not work against this because the search string is randomized. It’s quite simple but what I’ve been told is that this is not an issue for WordPress to handle. Instead, this attack should be dealt with by the webhost on a firewall level. At one point, a ticket was created by Scribu but has since been closed […]
