WordPress 2.8.1

Here’s one we’ve been waiting for for a couple of weeks. WordPress 2.8 brought about a number of improvements, but also introduced some bugs that needed fixing. A number of people I knew had theme issues (including Link4Business), and I knew a few who had problems with the dashboard running out of memory, including one apidexin reviews site. Anyway, 2.8.1 has a number of improvements and bug fixes including the following:

  • Certain themes were calling get_categories() in such a way that it would fail in 2.8. 2.8.1 works around this so these themes won’t have to change.
  • Dashboard memory usage is reduced. Some people were running out of memory when loading the dashboard, resulting in an incomplete page.
  • The automatic upgrade no longer accidentally deletes files when cleaning up from a failed upgrade.
  • A problem where the rich text editor wasn’t being loaded due to compression issues has been worked around.
  • Extra security has been put in place to better protect you from plugins that do not do explicit permission checks.

There are other fixes, but those are headline ones. So go ahead and download it!
