WordPress 2.8.5, and a minor bug

Jeremy — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:04:42 +0000

I should mention that WordPress 2.8.5 has been released. No security holes as such, but fixes some other issues that were discovered in the past few weeks.

While I’m at it, here’s a weird bug I only just noticed in the post editing screen: in the Publish postbox (the one that contains the Publish button), when I click one of the Edit links, the edit link disappears, and when I press Cancel, it reappears. That’s fine, but when I open the top Edit link and another Edit link, and I press Cancel on the one that’s not the top, the top Edit link reappears even though the top Cancel link hadn’t been clicked.

What a mouthful. Let me show you a video. (To be honest, this whole post was just an excuse for me to use the tag for the first time. I even had to write a WordPress plugin to let me upload .ogv files. Now my website officially doesn’t validate any more — whee!)

Can’t see the video? Get a real browser.

Notice that when I click the bottom Cancel link, the top Edit link reappears with the bottom one?

Dang, I’ve gotta update the guestbook

There are now about five users worldwide of my guestbook project, and they’re all running version “0.1alpha1″ which was released, I believe, over a year ago.

It contains some bad bugs, mainly caused by my immaturity in SQL escaping and no knowledge of magic_quotes_gpc at the time. A lot of this has been fixed in trunk, but I seriously need to get a new release out the door, now that there are actually users.
