Security advisory for WordPress and other PHP sites

Web site owners using the WordPress system should upgrade to version 2.6.2 immediately. This important security release adds protection against a SQL Column Truncation hazard and other security issues.

The security risk affects all PHP applications, WordPress included. Particularly vulnerable are those websites allowing open registration. More details about this issue at http://wordpress.org/development/2008/09/wordpress-262/

If you have questions about this advisory please contact me right away. Use the contact form here.

Labor Day Holiday

The TAPACOM office will be closed Monday, September 1 for the Labor Day holiday. The network will still be monitored and emergencies will be handled appropriately. To report problems check the contact page.

WordPress 2.6.1 update released

The dot one update for WordPress 2.6 was released a few days ago. It is not a “critical-required” upgrade. But, it won’t hurt to be current. More information and the download here.

For questions about this update and to schedule an upgrade for your hosted site, call or send email.

New Support Program Starts this Month

TAPACOM has instituted a new support program effective this month. The key change is that clients hosting their web sites under the TAPACOM Hoku and Big Kahuna plans are provided one hour of support each month. Support services include web site updates, structural changes, programming, etc.

Wiki Wiki hosted web sites are not included in this support program.

More information here.

WordPress Boot Camp

I’ll be conducting a workshop on using WordPress to create and manage web site projects.

The WordPress Boot Camp will show you how new technology tools keep web site development projects within anyone’s means and abilities. And they will help to keep the management of existing web sites less labor intensive.

The workshop is hosted by the Hawaii Macintosh & Apple Users’ Society, Inc.

When: Saturday, July 12, 2008 at the Manoa Innovation Center (9:00 AM to 3:30 PM).

Seating is limited, so register early. The first 10 registrants will receive a free WordPress t-shirt (subject to size availability).

FileMaker Pro development …

Current and new database development under FileMaker Pro will be under version 9.0v3. This is the latest version of the system and the recommendation is that all clients update their version 9 applications to this version to ensure full functionality and compatibility of their databases.

If your database application is running under any previous version of FileMaker Pro then you will not need to do this. Please contact me if you wish to discuss the possibility of moving your database application from an earlier version to version 9x.

FileMaker Pro updaters can be found here >  http://www.filemaker.com/support/downloads/
