<p>So, let&#8217;s break that down just a bit in case you&#8217;re not yet familiar with what&#8217;s going on. First, WordPress 3.4 Beta 4 has less bugs and is a bit snappier and cleaner than the previous beta releases, but the same disclaimers are still valid. This is not yet meant for live sites, but please do take a few swings at it on a test installation, especially if you are a plugin or theme developer. If you find any bugs, <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Reporting_Bugs">please report them</a>, and contact <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta">the support forums</a> if you need any help.</p>

<p>Despite using this particular plugin for a long time, it never really occurred to me how nice it would be to have such a feature. This really comes in handy for those times when you want to reformat your website and instead of remembering the conditional logic for each widget, you simply import the text file and the configuration is taken care of. </p>
<p>While I didn&#8217;t dedicate much time to it, there is an additional enhancement that comes with Version .52 of the plugin. You can now select when the logic code runs. Here is a screenshot that should help clarify what it does. </p>

<p>Oh, and if you get lost trying to find out where the new features are located, you&#8217;ll find them at the bottom of your Widget configuration page. </p>

During the entire ordeal, WooThemes kept customers and the public updated with what they knew and what they were doing to fix the problem via <a href="http://demo.woothemes.com/dos/">their status blog</a>. Their status blog was updated multiple times a day. Many people commended the company on Twitter for doing such a great job and it&#8217;s definitely deserved. </p>
<p>I wish companies whether they be WordPress based or not would so something similar when a crisis hits. Customers want to know what happened, what&#8217;s currently happening, who&#8217;s doing what, etc. When a crisis hits and takes a website offline, people don&#8217;t want a canned response to a support ticket or email, they want information. Information keeps customers calm or at least, calmer then they would be without it. I personally hate that feeling I get when a company seems to shove me off and pretends as if nothing is wrong. As for information, inform the masses, not just a few. That way, everyone is on the same page. Use your company site as a means of controlling the conversation so people don&#8217;t have to guess what&#8217;s happening. </p>

They help readers relate to articles by asking questions and building discussion and are even credited with creating some of the strongest online communities today. But, how do you keep everything clean and on topic? Do your users know what to expect? I&#8217;m not just talking about common sense and anti-spam practices, I&#8217;m talking about a policy or a code of conduct. Do you have one?</p>
<p>We have <a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/comment-policy/">a comment policy</a> here, and it&#8217;s as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p>Comments will be accepted if they meet the following conditions:</p>
<ul>
<li>The comment is not spam.</li>
<li>The comment is not left solely to drive traffic elsewhere. (Yes, this is spam.)</li>
<li>The comment is not widely off topic.</li>
<li>The comment is not obscene or profane.</li>
<li>The commenter has left a real name or proper screen name. (&#8220;Cheap Lawn Chairs&#8221; and &#8220;Joe @ MyCellPhoneTips.blah&#8221; are not real names).</li>
</ul>
<p>We do use a broad list of moderation keywords, but if your comment is held for moderation and abides by our comment policy, it will be accepted shortly.</p>
<p>By submitting a comment here you agree to the above comment policy and grant this site a perpetual license to reproduce your words and name/web site in attribution.</p></blockquote>
<p>You might notice that we&#8217;ve added a handy link to it above our comment form by just editing the theme&#8217;s comments template. It&#8217;s just about as easy as typing the desired text above the form fields. If you&#8217;d rather not get your hands dirty in the template, and you have a <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> blog, try <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/comment-license/">Comment License</a>.</p>
<p>So, do you have a comment policy? If so, we&#8217;d love to hear what it is! If you don&#8217;t, what guidelines do you use to manage comments on your blog?</p>

The issue dealt with the shortcode generator.</p>
<blockquote><p>The latest version (and most likely many previous versions) of the WooThemes WooFramework has a bug that allows any website visitor to run and see the output of any shortcode. This gives unauthenticated visitors the same power to execute code on the server as regular publishers have. WordPress installations with unsecured shortcodes (such as [php] which allows raw PHP code to be run) are vulnerable to serious attacks if WooThemes are installed, even if they are not the selected theme for the site. </p></blockquote>
<p>While the <a href="https://gist.github.com/2523147">Gist author for that post</a> took some heat for releasing the information the way that he did, others chimed in and stated the vulnerability should have never existed in the first place. According to Jason Gill who is a WooThemes paying customer and also the one who announced the vulnerability on the Gist website explained that he made every effort to try and contact WooThemes or at least, see if the patch was already in existence but was unsuccessful. </p>
<p>While at the time of writing this article WooThemes.com is offline, I advise you to check back often to update your themes as soon as possible. </p>

This is a maintenance release that includes several bugfixes and improvements to performance and robustness:</p>
<ul>
<li>Prevent retry scheduling problems on sites where wp_cron is misbehaving</li>
<li>Preload mshot previews</li>
<li>Modernize the widget code</li>
<li>Fix a bug where comments were not held for moderation during an error condition</li>
<li>Improve the UX and display when comments are temporarily held due to an error</li>
<li>Make the Check For Spam button force a retry when comments are held due to an error</li>
<li>Handle errors caused by an invalid key</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t retry comments that are too old</li>
<li>Improve error messages when verifying an API key</li>
</ul>
<p>To upgrade, visit the Plugins tab of your wp-admin dashboard and follow the instructions. This version of the Akismet plugin requires WordPress 3.0 or higher. If you haven&#8217;t already upgraded an old copy of WordPress, now is a good time: the new plugin release will provide significantly more accurate results than the legacy plugin available for WordPress 2.x.</p>

This move takes the ease of managing multiple websites to the next level. While the app is not yet available, there are a couple of screenshots of what the final product might look like.</p>
<p>The first screenshot shows a concept of what the dashboard might look like. I have not tested the app itself but it will be interesting to see if they manage to pack all of their sites functionality into the iPhone app while still maintaining ease of use. </p>
<div id="attachment_6537" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mwp_ios_dashboard.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mwp_ios_dashboard.jpg" alt="" title="mwp_ios_dashboard" width="202" height="302" class="size-full wp-image-6537" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ManageWP Dashboard Concept Image</p></div>
<p>What may be the most exciting part of this news is that the app will also be available to use on the iPad. With more screen real estate and the retina display on the newest version of the iPad, this combination should make for a great experience.<br />
<a href="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mwp_ios_ipad.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mwp_ios_ipad-383x500.jpg" alt="ManageWP iPad Concept" title="mwp_ios_ipad" width="383" height="500" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6538" /></a></p>
<p>Pricing has yet to be determined and in some aspects, this could get tricky. While the app is no use to non ManageWP customers, will the company end up charging for the app for existing customers? Considering there are <a href="http://managewp.com/plans-and-pricing">three different</a> service plans, I could see them offering the app for free to those who are middle and top tier plan customers. I know that the folks from ManageWP monitor this website so if you have feedback on how they should go about this, please offer your feedback within the comments. </p>
<p>While there are alternatives to ManageWP, they are certainly experiencing healthy growth. Earlier this year, they hit the <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/08/idUS181166+08-Mar-2012+PRN20120308">100,000 managed websites</a> milestone. They have also obtained <a href="http://managewp.com/managewp-surpasses-2000-paying-customers">2,000 paying customers</a>. Speaking of paying customers, I encourage you to <a href="http://www.wptavern.com/vaultpress-not-an-option-for-non-profit-multisite-installations#comments">read through the comments</a> of a post I published about a week ago where a number of folks chimed in that while ManageWP is awesome, their prices are a bit too high to digest. Based on feedback I have observed, there are two camps. One that says ManageWP is worth every penny that they currently charge and one that says the prices are just too high. </p>
<p>If you believe their prices are too high, consider the following. They currently have a staff of 20 or so people with plans to add more. They are an international bunch and the company is growing rapidly. There is the infrastructure, hardware, etc that they have to pay for. In my opinion, they shouldn&#8217;t <a href="http://www.sanebox.com/blog/death-freemium/">price themselves out of business</a>. They should simply charge what they feel is right for the service. </p>

<p>Three external libraries included in WordPress received security updates:</p>

<li>SWFUpload, which WordPress previously used for uploading media, and may still be in use by plugins.</li>

<p>WordPress 3.3.2 also addresses:</p>
<ul>
<li>Limited privilege escalation where a site administrator could deactivate network-wide plugins when running a WordPress network under particular circumstances, disclosed by <a href="http://joncave.co.uk/">Jon Cave</a> of our WordPress core security team, and <a href="http://sixohthree.com/">Adam Backstrom</a>.</li>
<li>Cross-site scripting vulnerability when making URLs clickable, by Jon Cave.</li>
<li>Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in redirects after posting comments in older browsers, and when filtering URLs. Thanks to <a href="http://www.sneaked.net/">Mauro Gentile</a> for responsibly disclosing these issues to the security team.</li>
</ul>
<p>These issues were fixed by the WordPress core security team. Five other bugs were also fixed in version 3.3.2. Consult the <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/log/branches/3.3?rev=20552&stop_rev=20087">change log</a> for more details.</p>

<h3>WordPress 3.4 Beta 3 also available</h3>
<p>Our development of WordPress 3.4 development continues. Today we are proud to release Beta 3 for testing. <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/log/trunk?rev=20552&stop_rev=20450">Nearly 90 changes</a> have been made since Beta 2, released 9 days ago. (We are aiming for a beta every week.)</p>
<p>This is still beta software, so <strong>we don&#8217;t recommend that you use it on production sites</strong>. But if you&#8217;re a plugin developer, a theme developer, or a site administrator, <strong>you should be running this on your test environments</strong> and <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Reporting_Bugs">reporting any bugs</a> you find. (See the <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/5">known issues here</a>.) If you&#8217;re a WordPress user who wants to open your presents early, take advantage of WordPress&#8217;s famous 5-minute install and spin up a secondary test site. <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta">Let us know what you think</a>!</p>

<p>Some cool stats worth mentioning: WordPress powers 72.4 million websites as of March 2012 with half of those being on <a href="http://wordpress.com/">WordPress.com</a>, an estimated 20 &#8211; 25% of new websites published in 2011 were built using WordPress, WordPress powers 22 of every 100 new domains created in the US, and WordPress corners 53.8% of the market when compared to other content management systems.</p>

Joost de Valk has taken those stats as well as some others that his team discovered and <a href="http://yoast.com/wordpress-stats/">generated an infographic</a> that visually represents the data. One of the stats that I find impressive is the fact that Freelancer.com reported that 100,000 WordPress developers across the world are listed on the service with reports of over 3.6 million dollars of WordPress projects completed. </p>
<p>What&#8217;s even more impressive is that WordPress has yet to reach a saturation point. There are still plenty of people out there that some day could potentially become WordPress users. So while the numbers we see today are huge, I imagine they&#8217;ll be even bigger in the next 2-3 years. </p>

Any time I read a post like this, it&#8217;s as if I can hear the core team in my head yelling out &#8220;<strong>patches welcome</strong>&#8220;. But you know, just because you dedicate time to produce a patch that includes the functionality you would like to see in core that works flawlessly with WordPress does not guarantee that the functionality will end up within the core of WordPress. So in that sense, you&#8217;re damned if you do and damned if you don&#8217;t. Of course, there is always the plugin route. </p>
<p>I agree with Dev4Press when they mention that the built-in search functionality in WordPress sucks and needs a major overhaul. It&#8217;s something that many users have requested for over two years. Unfortunately, due to complexity or lack of resources, we have yet to see any overhaul on this part of WordPress. There are plugins that enhance this ability but nothing within the core that makes it better. The other issue I wanted to address with the post on Dev4Press concerns their request that Akismet be removed from the default WordPress package as they think it&#8217;s a commercial plugin and thus, unfair to commercial plugin authors. In my opinion, as long as Akismet has the free option, it&#8217;s not a commercial plugin. However, I&#8217;d still like to see it and all other plugins removed from the default installation package just to tidy things up. </p>

<p>We already know that WordPress <a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2011/07/11/wordpress-powers-50-million-websites/">powers about 19% of the web</a>, but now we know just how well it fares as a blogging platform in general. Pretty well, that is! Out of the top 100 blogs surveyed, WordPress is just 1 of 12 platforms used, and it&#8217;s powering 48 of the them! As a comparison, the next highest result were the 12 blogs running on a custom platform, followed by 8 who declined to comment, and finally 7 running <a href="http://www.movabletype.org/">Movable Type</a>.</p>
<p>Yes, you read that right. Of the mainstream blogging platforms used by the top 100, WordPress comes in first with 48, followed by Movable Type with 7. That&#8217;s quite a substantial lead!</p>
<p><a href="http://ma.tt/">Matt Mullenweg</a> expects an even higher adoption rate for WordPress next year, and with these numbers, it&#8217;s hard to dispute that.</p>

It&#8217;s a fact of life, it&#8217;s just so easy to that most people end up having 2-3 passwords they use everywhere, including one &#8220;hard&#8221; one for financial sites, etc. The downside is your password is only strong as the weakest link of where you&#8217;ve used it &#8212; when something <a href="http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/12/13/gawker-passwords-hacked-what-you-should-do/">like the Gawker hack happens</a> there is a huge wave of compromised accounts that follow.</p>
<p>You can ask users not to use the same password, you can even encourage things like <a href="https://agilebits.com/onepassword">1password</a> (too expensive for many people I recommend it to), but what if there was a way to enforce that people registering for your site hadn&#8217;t used the same password elsewhere?</p>
<p>It actually wouldn&#8217;t be too hard, if you&#8217;re registering with 123@gmail.com and the password &#8220;abc&#8221; when you register and the site hasn&#8217;t encrypted and stored the password yet it could try to log into your Gmail account with those details, and if it works force you to choose a different password. There&#8217;s no reason this has to be limited to email logins, you could put it against the <a href="http://developer.wordpress.com/">APIs of WordPress.com</a>, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, any number of other services that expose simple authentication APIs and see where it works. Any successful logins, tell the user they need to pick something else.</p>
<p>Of course all that work and they&#8217;ll probably just put a 1 at the end of it.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:07:58 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:4:"Matt";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:37;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

However, tons of people that have had to utilize the restoration feature of VaultPress say it&#8217;s worth every penny. Boles University.com has a non-profit WordPress multi-site installation with about 14 sub-domains under its belt. VaultPress supports multi-site but if the subscription is for the main site, only the main sites files and data will be backed up, sub-sites will be ignored. In order to backup everything, each site within the multi-site installation needs their own individual subscription. As you can imagine, it wouldn&#8217;t take long for that to be expensive. As David W Boles <a href="http://blog.bolesuniversity.com/2012/04/05/the-definitive-answer-on-vaultpress-and-wordpress-multisite-pricing/">points out in his article</a>, it would be nice to see VaultPress come up with some sort of plan that allows non-profits the ability to backup their main site along with their satellite sites for a much more affordable price. I&#8217;m not sure how VaultPress would be able to verify whether a multi-site installation is non-profit or not without paperwork validation but it certainly seems like this is a missed oppurtunity market segment for VaultPress. </p>
<p>This is the world of WordPress which means there are alternatives when it comes to safekeeping your data. A relatively new service called <a href="http://getbackuppress.com/">BackupPress</a> performs many of the same functions as VaultPress but at a much more affordable price. In fact, taking a look at <a href="http://getbackuppress.com/features/competition/">their comparison page</a>, they support WordPress multi-site at just 25$ per year. At the time of publishing this article, I couldn&#8217;t locate any specific text that states restrictions similar to VaultPress in that each sub-domain within a multi-site network would need it&#8217;s own subscription. Hopefully, a representative from the service will stop by the comments section and fill us in on the details. </p>

My best guess as of this morning is that a <em>demigod</em> could design such a system, but it&#8217;s very difficult for mortal humans to do so, because once you know how to program it&#8217;s hard to avoid overdesigning, putting in things that will eventually be useful in year two but are discouraging in year zero.

I&#8217;m quoted in the article saying that the 49% marketshare we have among top blogs will continue to grow, and I&#8217;d like to expand on that a bit because it&#8217;s a strong statement.</p>
<p>Typepad and Blogsmith, the two platforms that dropped the most over the past 3 years, are going to disappear either through blogs still using them losing relevance, or their active blogs switching away. Movable Type will likely follow suit, unless its now Japanese-led development makes a pretty drastic change in its product direction. (Consultants focused on Movable Type and Typepad have already started shifting focus to switching their clients to modern platforms to avoid losing the relationship.)</p>
<p>The other big shift will come from the ~22% on custom platforms &#8212; this is going to become as niche as writing your own web server instead of using Apache or Nginx. Some organizations like Huffington Post might continue to make the necessary investments of over 40 engineers to maintain a platform at scale, the rest will find better return investing those resources in editorial. Great stories find an audience regardless of their platform.</p>
<p>WordPress&#8217; biggest challenge over the next two years, and where we&#8217;re focusing core development, will be around evolving our dashboard to be faster and more accessible, especially on touch devices. Many of our founding assumptions about how, where, and why people publish are shifting, but the flexibility of WordPress as a platform and the tens of thousands of plugins and themes available are hard to match. We might not always be the platform people start with, but we want to be what the best graduate to.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:37:17 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:4:"Matt";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:44;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

The site has an easy to use interface for grabbing code snippets. While at first, it seems as though you need to perform a lot of scrolling to select code snippets and get the code, you can alleviate the scrolling by clicking on the preview link. </p>

<p>Like the old saying, there&#8217;s no time like the present, and now is the perfect time to install and run the <a href="http://codegarage.com/blog/2011/09/wordpress-timthumb-vulnerability-scanner-plugin/">TimThumb Vulnerability Scanner</a> and <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exploit-scanner/">Exploit Scanner</a> plugins.
