• Using 2.2 or 2.2.1 – blogs with no other users allowed to post except myself, comments set for must be approved, etc.

    I am seeing posts get added as drafts with the title “Foo” and no text.

    I have seen this on a number of WP installs this week, which makes me wonder if someone hasn’t found a hole and is trying to stuff posts onto other people’s blogs?

    Maybe the same thing here:

  • actually, I have to correct myself, 2.3-alpha (the trunk) does have those fixes applied. My apologies.

    whooami, you have made it clear the rest of us don’t merit the time or the attention. It is also clear by today’s release of the 2.2.2 update that this was an actual hole, likely triggered through upload.php.

    If you have the urge to be condescending, I would suggest you try it on a family member first. When it doesn’t work with them, consider it a plan to NOT try it on people you don’t know.

    My only frustration is dealing with people who think they are too well informed and too mighty to deal with end users. If you don’t like dealing with us, why post rude comments?

    whatever rawalex,
    My only frustration is with people like you —

    Look at the first SIX posts in this forum. My responses were completely inline with the information you provided. I EVEN suggested, rightfully so, that you contact ppl that might actually help you (that would be the email address I provided you)
    Maybe you havent gleemed this yet but Matt, et al, spend little if any reading threads here.

    No matter that you originally came here running an totally obsolete version of WordPress to begin with — I point that out, using a perfect metaphor and YOU get pissy?

    Im not the one hacking your site, you dolt. Im the one that gave you GOOD advice.

    So then, lets see, later in this thread, you attack me for a reply I clearly intended for someone other than yourself..

    And Im the one thats being condescending.

    For the record, now that you have asked, Ive decided its just YOU I dont like dealing with.

    You wanted a magic solution to your problem, or so it seems..

    1. I provided what I could.

    You dont like that, here is what I say:

    TOUGH CRAP!

    what was the question? ??

    The question isn’t relevant anymore, fixed in 2.2.2.

    I am starting to realize that there are people posting here acting as support people when they are just other end users.

    I’ll know better than to ask a question in this forum in the future.

    I am starting to realize that there are people posting here acting as support people when they are just other end users.

    Yep. Isn’t that the point though?

    mrmist,

    apparantly its been lost on rawalex that this support forum is comprised of ALL end users. ??

    Developers offer paid support from what I’ve heard, though Ive been told that is runs $85.00 an hour with a 3 hour minimum.

    Support people? What company was that again? Oh, user to user support. I’m just a user.

    I’ll know better than to ask a question in this forum in the future.

    And I’ll know better than to try helping I guess.

    Support – as in the people who wrote the code (and release the code) helping out the people who use their code.

    I came to a support forum. If I wanted to go to a “chat with other wordpress users” I would have looked for that type of a forum.

    IcelandDream, read closely the entire “help” I got from whoooami: “upgrade to the lastest version” when I repeated that the problem was happening on the latest version. That is pretty mindless.

    I feel somewhat better understanding that the problem I was having was addresses in this morning’s software update. You know software updates, where the $85 an hour developers do their work.

    WordPress should rename this forum to “the blind leading the blind” forum, and keep the term support for things that are done in a somewhat more official manner.

    rawalex,

    dude, GET OVER IT. I explained very clearly that I was suggesting that for YOUR admittedly OLDER versions — I can paste it, if need be, to remind you:

    …in one, you indicated that you might be using wordpress 2.2 — therefore I am suggesting that you upgrade any blogs that are using that version, irrespective of whether or not you happen to think it might be related.

    Go away already if you dont like it here, and don’t like the answers you get. No-one is pleading that you stay.

    So far, all you have done is cry and complain. Amd the damn irony in your attitude is that I am the ONLY one that even attempted to address you. Why dont you run off at the keyboard at the thousands of people that completely ignored you?

    —–

    ya know, im wasting time on a guy that has links to teen porn on his site — youre a REAL class arent you raw.. It is absolutely fascinating how much you can find out about someone’s character when you google them.

    wow.

    IcelandDream, read closely the entire “help” I got ….

    um, no. I’m not here to analyze and judge.

    bye bye.

    Links to teen porn? You don’t get it… I’m in the adult business. You can manage your one blog, and I’ll manage my 50 blogs and there ya go. If you are going to look down your nose at adult material, well… that’s your issue and not mine. I don’t look at your blog(s) and complain about your posts, although linking to “village idiot” almost seems too classic to comment on.

    I clearly stated that the problem occurred on BOTH versions 2.2 and 2.2.1. If the problem was limited ONLY to 2.2, then the upgrade answer would be good. But since I saw the same problem on both versions, the clue is that it isn’t related to something fixed in that upgrade. With 50 upgrades to do, some domains will slip a little while until I get around to them. I looked closely to make sure it wasn’t related to an out of date version.

    Proof in the pudding is that the fixes in 2.2.2 appear to be aimed at this exact problem.

    I am just disappointed to realize that the “support” board isn’t support at all. Perhaps the powers that be at www.remarpro.com might consider renaming the forum to reflect more of it’s “users helping users” rather than being direct product support.

    … and now off to update the renaming 30 or so installations that need to be updated to this weeks version.

    After all of this though, the answer to your problem is to upgrade to the very latest version (2.2.2).

    Admittedly that wasn’t available when whoami suggested that you upgrade your outdated copies of the program, but the central thinking behind her answer still applies, and now fixes your issue.

    If your 50 upgrades cause you trouble, you could always employ someone to upgrade them for you. No doubt the adult business you are in pays well.

    Your thick-skulled arent you. You honestly deserve to pay for support.

    As for your line of work – I already KNOW what you do, I googled you. I spose its quite commonplace in the adult business to advertise teen porn. No big surprise, really, that your a skank.
