In reply to: WP keeps adding all my posts to “Uncategorized”Sounds like ecto doesn’t follow up the call to metaWeblog.editPost with mt.setPostCategories. All of my clients call mt.setPostCategories after both metaWeblog.editPost and metaWeblog.newPost. After a quick glance at the patch, I’m failing to see how it helps. That might just be because I haven’t had lunch yet. I’ll look at it later and try to fix this up. Thanks.

In reply to: Pingbacks enabled when they shouldn’t be after update to 1.5.1.3That’s a screwup of mine that is fixed in the latest downloads. You can either grab a new zip/tarball or grab these fixed versions of xmlrpc.php and functions-post.php.

In reply to: 1.5.12 and ectoI finally found an ecto user to help with debugging. We now have a fix. You need these versions of xmlrpc.php and functions-post.php.
Feedback appreciated. Finding testers has been a chore.

In reply to: 1.5.12 and ectoAny other ecto testers out there?
The 1.5.1.2 bug is being actively exploited. Going back is risky.

In reply to: 1.5.12 and ectoThis version has a confirmed fix for the image upload bug and an unconfirmed fix for the category bug. Please try it out and provide feedback.

In reply to: 1.5.12 and ectoUpdated xmlrpc.php available here. Try that out.
We’re looking at it now. Matt and I always seem to be on the road when these things come up. It’s a talent we have. 🙂
Thanks for the very detailed and informative report.

In reply to: Shutting Down WordPress Blog temporaryCreate a maintenance theme with an index.php that says the blog is closed for maintenance. All links into your blog will show this page. As long as WP is still in running condition during your maintenance, switching to your maintenance theme will put all visitors on notice without breaking any links. If WP itself is down during maintenance, neither this method nor a plugin will be helpful.

In reply to: Kubrick Template on Blogger.Well, we don’t mention the GPL in the source either.
Anyway, the source is provided, so I don’t see anything to get worked up about.

In reply to: svn wordpress = how?You can use svn on your local machine and rsync the content to your host. Most hosts support rsync over ssh these days.
*
svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/ wp
*cd wp
* Setup wp-config.php. Make customizations.
*svn update#Pull down and merge upstream changes
*rsync -avz -C --exclude='*.svn' -e ssh ./ [email protected]:/path/to/public_html/wordpress/# Push the changes to your host.Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Not in compliance with COPPA (federal law)Yes, this is plugin territory. There are too many countries and too many laws. It’s up to you to be compliant with COPPA, the EU Directive on Data Protection, US/EU Safe Harbor, or whatever laws may apply to you. If someone writing such a plugin needs an extra plugin hook in WP core to make the plugin possible, we could add that.

In reply to: 1.5.1 Page Bug Fixed?Yes, if two posts/pages have the same name, the second of the two posts to be created will have a number appended to the slug to distinguish it. There was a problem where page slugs that are different only by a trailing number would sometimes collide in the rewrite rules. That was fixed by updated rewrite rules. If both of them have the exact same slug, change the slug on one of them.

In reply to: 1.5.1.1 Changed filesIf you have subversion handy, you can see every line changed with this command:
svn diff http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/1.5.1 http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/1.5.1.1If you only want the files changed, you can use this beauty (if you are on *nix):
svn diff --diff-cmd "diff" -x "-q" http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/1.5.1 http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/1.5.1.1 | grep Index | sed 's/Index: //'To save you from having to do that, here’s the output.
wp-blog-header.php
wp-includes/functions-post.php
wp-includes/template-functions-category.php
wp-includes/template-functions-links.php
wp-includes/template-functions-post.php
wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php
wp-includes/functions.php
wp-includes/wp-db.php
wp-includes/version.php
xmlrpc.php
wp-admin/post.php
wp-admin/quicktags.jsThose are the files changed from 1.5.1 to 1.5.1.1. Of course, we always recommend that you upgrade every file. Perhaps the most common cause of problems reported to the support forums is incomplete uploads. I recommend everyone use rsync or the equivalent, if your host supports it. With rsync you don’t have to care about what changed. The tool takes care of it.
