from the wordpress blog:

…an important security issue was brought to our attention which required an update for our users. The problem is not yet public but you should update your blog as soon as possible to 1.5.1.3…

• unzip latest.zip
• move old directory
• copy old wp-config.php
• copy old theme
• copy old plugins
• copy old .htaccess

took 5 minutes et voila…

Just fixed my theme - there was a problem with longer titles which wrapped around under the top of the sidebar. Anyway, it’s fixed. Thanks to Sonic Chicken for the hint.

Tried to leave a comment in Sonic Chicken’s article, but comments are closed. That’s evil, use a spaminator or something similar…

If you have multiple authors who are allowed to ack comments, you might want to change comment-functions.php line 717

    @wp_mail($admin_email, $subject, $notify_message, $message_headers);

to

    @wp_mail($user->user_email, $subject, $notify_message, $message_headers);

Notification mails for comments held for moderation are now sent to the post author instead of the admin.

This site now uses a new theme, you can find it here.

If you like my theme, just download psycho.tar.gz or psycho.zip, put it in the wp-content/theme/ directory, unpack it and activate it under “Presentation”… Read the rest of this entry »

as you can see I successfully updated wordpress to 1.5.
