Wordpress 2 Update Complete

I finally made the jump to Wordpress 2.0.1. It wasn’t really by choice. Some mean hacker found my unpatched version of Wordpress 1.5, and exploited some security holes to send out some spam. Never again will I fail to patch Wordpress :). I didn’t have too many problems upgrading. The database was kind of a pain. I created a new DB, then tried to import data from the old DB. Unfortunately I have too much data, so I had to import in small chunks. So far, I don’t really see any real big improvement in Wordpress 2. It does look a little nicer, but from what I see so far, not really worth the effort to upgrade.

Update: I had two plugins that didn’t work: WP-Shortstat and Adhesive.

    I hate it when people hack in…it’s almost as bad as jumping on someone else’s WiFi connection. Especially of someone you know…

  2. Matt Luce Says:

    I would say that doing something malicious is far worse than using an unsecured wifi connection.

  3. Derek Says:

    Either way it’s not good…so have I secured mine enough now? (That’s actually a serious question because wifi security is NOT my strong point)

  4. Matt Luce Says:

    It appears to be secured. It’s not really that big of a deal, as long as you don’t have any shared drives on your network, then there isn’t really much that someone could do, other than illegally downloading music, which they could then blame it on you:)
