Install Important WordPress Security Update


Despite only launching a vital security update 10 days ago, WordPress have just launched another in version 2.07. Given that WordPress 2.1 is supposed to be launched at the end of the month, this update is clearly important if they can’t wait a few days. If you installed the last update (2.06) then all you have to do to update is change the following files:

Because this is a much smaller update than previous versions, you do not have to update all of WordPress’ files if you’re upgrading from version 2.0.6. Here is the list of files that have changed since 2.0.6:

  • wp-admin/inline-uploading.php
  • wp-admin/post.php
  • wp-includes/classes.php
  • wp-includes/functions.php
  • wp-settings.php
  • wp-includes/version.php

We know it sucks to have a release only 10 days after our last one, but we think it’s important enough for your blog to be secure to do it, and hopefully only having to change a few files will make the upgrade easier than normal.

Other users with older versions should download the full WordPress 2.07 zip.
