The WordPress dev team just released WordPress version 2.9.2 a few minutes ago. This is a security release that addresses an issue where logged in users can peek or view “trashed” posts that belong to other users or authors.
For those who aren’t familiar, one of the new features included in the release of WordPress 2.9 is the “trash status” for posts, pages and comments. With this feature, users have the option recover or permanently delete posts, pages and comments that have been deleted.
If you’re running WordPress 2.9 or 2.9.1 and have a multi-authored blog or have registered users whom you don’t trust, then you need to immediately upgrade your install to WordPress 2.9.2. You can do the upgrade automatically via the WordPress dashboard – Tools > Upgrade menu or do it manually.

Upgrade is not really a problem, getting traffic to my blog is, would someone be so kind to leave a comment on my blog, never urge to help a fellow filipino blogger.

@Blogger Affiliate – Its really like that at first but when you get used to it, it would be easy that you can probably do it with your eyes closed. Hehe
Btw, I always recommend WP users to do the upgrade manually. Gives you more control and when done right, doesn’t cause you any problems and has less risks than doing the automated one.

I recently Started blogging and when I install WordPress my hosting installed 2.9.1 instead of 2.9.2.
And I had to manually upgrade the wordpress to the latest version. though it was not tough though initially I thought of it as quite scary.

@Kashif – I see. I know how it feels, I’ve been there before. WordPress is much user friendly and easier to upgrade now than it was when I first started using it. Like I said in the previous comment, its always a good practice to backup first before doing an upgrade.

I am still very new with wordpress so before I make and updated, I have to back up my entire installation.

@Geek – You’re welcome! It’s always a good practice to make backups of your WordPress database and files before doing an upgrade. Better safe than sorry. ;)
