Title: WordPress 2.2.1 Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # WordPress 2.2.1 * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/) * [http://wordpress.org/development/2007/06/wordpress-221/](http://wordpress.org/development/2007/06/wordpress-221/) * READ!!!! * Unfortunately, 2.2.1 is not just a bug fix release. Some security issues came to light during 2.2.1 development, making 2.2.1 a required upgrade. 2.2.1 addresses the following vulnerabilities: * * Remote shell injection in PHPMailer * Remote SQL injection in XML-RPC Discovered by Alexander Concha. * Unescaped attribute in default theme Viewing 11 replies - 46 through 56 (of 56 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/3/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/?output_format=md) [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/3/?output_format=md) 4 * [andreytepaykin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreytepaykin/) * (@andreytepaykin) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/4/#post-583450) * In reply to any who get errors such as Unknown column ‘name’ in ‘order clause’ I learned code and finded that for some reason variable $orderby didn’t clear in wp-includes/category.php line 31 just before function extract($r, EXTR_SKIP); I installed WordPress on my local and on the server. On my local machine it work fine, but only on the server got error. May be because there are different PHP versions. I have 4.3.3 on local and 4.3.2 on server. I didn’t learn this problem deeper, just added line unset($orderby); before function extract($r, EXTR_SKIP); seems works * [miguknamja4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miguknamja4/) * (@miguknamja4) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/4/#post-583451) * FYI: I had a security block on my xml-rpc file that my domain provider placed because of the security vulnerability identified with 2.2 or 2.2.1. I had to put code into my htaccess file to remove the block. If anyone has a similar problem, contact your provider. * All resolved. * [manfredeye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manfredeye/) * (@manfredeye) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/4/#post-583452) * I have just upgraded to 2.2.1. Im having a difficult time with several issues. One is that when I try to insert a link. My own URL is added. and Im finding no place to delete or change that. Heres an example: [http://manfredeye.com/](http://manfredeye.com/) If you look at the address for “free trade agreements” you will see my addy there at the begining. All the other links are fine, but this post was created after the upgrade. and Im still seeing the funny ‘a”s at certain times. what a mess. I wish Id just left it alone…hehe. * [Griff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/griffinjay/) * (@griffinjay) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/4/#post-583454) * I’m also not able to get Live Writer or Zoundry’s autodiscover feature to work with 2.2.1, though I’m able to configure Zoundry manually. * [sportech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sportech/) * (@sportech) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/4/#post-583458) * [@andreytepaykin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreytepaykin/) * Finally! A fix that works. Thanks for your help AndreyTepaykin. * Much appreciated. * [shahin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shahin/) * (@shahin) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/4/#post-583459) * Hi, * I define a Custom Field and whenever a person makes a comment that custom field got reset. I didn’t have this problem with 2.0.5 but with 2.2.1 I have. * Shahin * [wdg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wdg/) * (@wdg) * [18 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/4/#post-583465) * A person needs to leave breadcrumbs. My problem was missing blogroll, database error, unknown link count in where clause. MichaelH steered me in a good direction for part of it here on this thread, which turns out to be not a support thread. He told me to read about wp_list_bookmarks ( ). From another thread I can’t seem to get back to I read about adding missing categories to my SQL database. Thanks MichaelH, thanks to all. The objective is to have this software operating in the background without thought so the focus is on the business at hand. * [prabhukrish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prabhukrish/) * (@prabhukrish) * [18 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/4/#post-583468) * I have a strange problem. Even when there are comments for the posts, it appears as ‘No Comments’. The URL is [http://prabhukrish.net](http://prabhukrish.net). Could this be a template problem, or something to do with 2.2.1? * [iso247](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iso247/) * (@iso247) * [18 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/4/#post-583469) * Well, I am in trouble with WordPress (2.2.1), because this line “” does not seems to work anymore. In short, I am working on the i3Theme to meet the needs of a customer (mostly turning static menus on both sides into dynamic menus + removing commenting features). The goal is to use the powerful features of WP, to build a “classic” website (not a blog) with data (either posts or pages) shown one by one, which implies the menu(s). * I have used PHP and MySQL for nearly 5 years now (and Oracle a few years before), and the functions I am implementing work fine on other themes of WP 2.2.1, so I do not think this is due to a lack of experience on my side (except with WP, whose I have used for less than one year). * The links look this way: * [http://pouplard.net/~fludor/fr/?p=23](http://pouplard.net/~fludor/fr/?p=23) ( Note: “[http://pouplard.net/~fludor/fr/”](http://pouplard.net/~fludor/fr/”); is the root of the website, but pouplard.net is an alias of my computer, so you cannot see the trouble on the Net). * Of course, the links exist. I have dropped and rebuilt the database, too, as I thought it was perhaps out of date, but the only change is that now, I get error messages (until that, I only got an empty #content zone) * In clicking on the URL above (or ANY url with a “?p=xx” suffix), I get this message: * Erreur de la base de données de WordPress : [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ORDER BY post_date ASC LIMIT 1’ at line 1] SELECT ID, post_title FROM fr_posts WHERE post_date > ” AND post_type = ‘post’ AND post_status = ‘publish’ AND ID != ORDER BY post_date ASC LIMIT 1 * I have noticed that the request is malformed (there is no value at “AND ID !=”!!!), but I was not expecting this query, anyway, because I ask for a post in giving its ID 🙂 * So, I am trying to understand the “internals” of WP (I have difficulties at it— i don’t understand a lot the WP_Query class), and I would like to know how I can shortcut the “have_posts()/the_post()” block, in order to show the pages/ posts I need: either one full page/post, or exerpts of results in case of search… * PS: My plugins are “akismet” and “hello” (they came with WP), plus “wp-db-backup”( added). * [pixelmania](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixelmania/) * (@pixelmania) * [18 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/4/#post-583472) * hi all! * i have updated to 2.2.1 and now the thumbnail option when uploading an image is missing. Did anyone else made this experience. are there any bug fixes for this issue? * thanks in advance tmctiger [http://pixelmania.nem3d.net/](http://pixelmania.nem3d.net/) * [epsilonsa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/epsilonsa/) * (@epsilonsa) * [18 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/page/4/#post-583481) * I’ve been having some trouble getting the visual editor (TinyMCE) to work. After searching for hours, It seems as though TinyMCE was broken entirely with wordpress 2.2.1 * This would be consistent with my experiences so far as I have done a clean install of wordpress on an entirely new server and can’t even get the basic visual editor to work before I install the advanced plugins. * Can anyone confirm that TinyMCE still works with wordpress 2.2.1? (that is NOT hosted on wordpress.com) So far, I have had no luck on two clean installations on two different servers.
