Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Blog import not workingCould it be something to do with the fact I increased the upload limit from 2mb to 10mb?
Doesn’t sound likely
You mention posting the export file… where would I do that?
You could email me with an attachment or a link to the file hosted somewhere. My email: wp {AT} lionsgoroar.co.uk
If I am able to reproduce this then it will really help track down what’s going wrong. Thanks.

In reply to: Blog import not workingWould you be able to post a link to an example export file that is failing?
Also can I confirm this is WordPress version 3.0.1 (are both sites running the same version? if not what versions are they?) with wordpress-importer 0.2.
Would you be able to try the development version (0.3-beta7 at time of posting) of the importer, see if that makes a difference for you.
(Thanks Rich for tagging the thread).

In reply to: Update Notifier plugin still sending email notices…Please, how can this be prevented? Thanks
That’s the test email text. It should have only been sent by clicking the “Send Test Email” button. If you’re getting it and both you and the client have not been clicking this button only then is there a problem.
This will be a really big issue when 3.1 officially rolls out. Exports incompatible with imports, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!
That definitely will not happen. I was talking about getting a release ASAP instead of the planned time which is with or just before 3.1.
Let me know if you have any problems with the development version 🙂

In reply to: Lost Categories in Import of WordPress.comPosting this here now in case anybody else stumbles across this thread.
If WordPress.com is using the 3.1 format then you’ll want to use the development version of the importer.
Found here and direct download link here.
I can’t believe wordpress folks hadn’t picked this bug up. Surely we can’t be the only people that are migrating from .com to .org
Agreed. This is a pretty big issue so will see what can be done about pushing a release here.
Since the changes in minor version of WordPress are so small (e.g. changes from 3.0.0 -> 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2, etc.) the plugin repository will sometimes automatically show plugins which mark themselves as compatible with the major version as compatible with the latest minor release.
If the only change for a plugin would be to update the readme.txt file for compatibility then a developer might not want to annoy every user by making them upgrade just for the new readme, and so the change may only go into the plugin development version in SVN trunk (which is where the repository grabs information from AFAIK). However, this will not show up in the readme file which is included in the downloaded package.
They should always be interpreted in context, base64 etc. alone is not enough to definitively prove malicious code it is just a common indicator.

In reply to: [Exploit Scanner] [Plugin: Exploit Scanner] How long does a scan takes?Can you give me browser and OS? Do you see any JavaScript errors?
Since there are no file hashes for 3.1 core files yet (they are still liable to change, so hashes will not be available until final release), yes you will get warnings about ‘bad’ code within core files.
You will have to use your judgment on how to interpret these, but I do not want to discourage you from developing on RC2 so maybe waiting until final release before using an updated Exploit Scanner is the best option. I would imagine these are probably fine, unless any are marking 3rd-party plugins which I cannot be certain about.

In reply to: [Exploit Scanner] [Plugin: Exploit Scanner] Files scanned: 1800… and stopsThanks for the info, I’ll try and debug this as soon as I have some time… though you maybe right about the memory.
Because it is so varied as to what people want for the perfect email subject I added a filter to it, usage is something like:
add_filter( 'updatenotifier_subject', 'my_custom_subject' ); function my_custom_subject( $s ) { return '[' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . '] Updates available'; }Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Exploit Scanner] Exploit Scanner errorsHey. Thanks for reporting.
Would you be able to try out the development version of the scanner? I have added some code to catch the error and return some debug information. If you could try it out and paste back what it reports, please use pastie.org or another paste bin if the output is quite large. The output should just be put into the running box instead of the spinner.
Development version available from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exploit-scanner/download/ and here is a direct link to the zip file.
The development version should be reported as 0.99.1 (if it’s not wait for an [half-an-]hour and try downloading it again) on the plugins page and can be installed by downloading the zip file and then going to Add New plugin in your dashboard and using the Upload option.
Thanks again!

- More progressive enhancement with CSS3/JS/HTML5 where possible
- Media
- Documentation (API reference) + handbooks
Have you tried the development version (currently 0.3-beta4)? If not I would be grateful if you would, hopefully you should see some great improvements with no new problems 🙂
