Why?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/should-i-upgrade-from-21-to-the-current-version-why/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/should-i-upgrade-from-21-to-the-current-version-why/#post-1080745) * 2.1 is broken. It has security flaws. That should be enough of an answer. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [|| seltsame-schleifen.de || strange-loops.de ||](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seltsame-schleifende-strange-loopsde/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [17 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seltsame-schleifende-strange-loopsde/#post-842244) * Delete the HTML out of your CSS file. That should help a lot. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Hacked 2.3.3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-233/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-233/#post-700369) * Did you change your user passwords? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [The Moderators Here Are FREAKIN’ RUDE (aka moshu)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-moderators-here-are-freakin-rude-aka-moshu/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-moderators-here-are-freakin-rude-aka-moshu/#post-616770) * Nice meta discussion. whooami is a sucker, Moshu is a wannabe, jax5 will hopefully consult a differnt site for help. Can we close this topic, please? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [I need help with globals](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-need-help-with-globals/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-need-help-with-globals/#post-614096) * And the problem is..? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [HACKED](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-2-2/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-2-2/#post-614095) * Until you haven’t described the problem in detail, I will not press on any link of your infested blog. And so may others… * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Bad API](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-api/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-api/#post-511047) * Fair enough. * Anyway his only example was negated by Otto42. * I don’t want to say darage isn’t right. But his examples are poor and so may his conclusion. * I may have a better example: The WPDB class stores the names of the tables. So far okay. But why isn’t the table_prefix also stored in this class? Why do the user of WPDB have to set the table name members directly from outside of the class and not with methods – or *gasp* why not setting prefix and table names during construction of WPDB. Thats REALLY poor design! * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Bad API](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-api/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-api/#post-511044) * No he hasn’t given any example. He was referencing to [functions ](http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.functions.php) not [classes](http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php). If his critique was about the object model, he should critisize a class like WP_User or WPDB. It is totally legetimate to have functions and classes coexist in the same domain of code – and so does WordPress. This is not necessarily bad design by default. * It may be that darages intention was to further generalize his critique to say“ The WordPress API is rotten”. Well, in my point of view this is a statement that needs more examples than pointing to two functions. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Need Urgent Help](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-urgent-help-1/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-urgent-help-1/#post-510313) * This issue doesn’t seem so urgent anymore, eh? * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Bad API](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-api/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-api/#post-511042) * > … I want to say whoever designed this API has no concept of what object oriented > design is and has never heard of objects. * And this is because of what? Critisizing the API in a general way isn’t really helpful nor does it show your competence on this sector. How about an example? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Need Urgent Help](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-urgent-help-1/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-urgent-help-1/#post-510180) * Why not ask the owner of the site directly? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Upgrading From 2.07 to 2.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrading-from-207-to-21/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrading-from-207-to-21/#post-507505) * The minimum requirements for WordPress were updated in the Codex: * [http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/](http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/) * No need to blame someone about that except you. * Missing former WordPress versions since 2.0.2 is known to every developer because it was mentioned several times on the hackers mailing list. Obviously this doesn’t mean that they fix this in the near future. Send an mail to the hackers mailing list ([http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-hackers/](http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-hackers/)) to emphasize this issue. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Old db dump, New version. SQL command lines help needed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/old-db-dump-new-version-sql-command-lines-help-needed/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/old-db-dump-new-version-sql-command-lines-help-needed/#post-508193) * Okay, I don’t ask. * There may be a way to accomplish your task but it’s not easy and involves in depth knowledge of WordPress and SQL. So based on your skills I would recommend: Don’t even ask 🙂 * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Breaking copyright?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breaking-copyright/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breaking-copyright/#post-495976) * This question is far to general – and so is my answer: No! * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Benifit It’s Usege](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/benifit-its-usege/) * [Obvious](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obvious/) * (@obvious) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/benifit-its-usege/#post-495975) * At first you have to learn how to read.
