WordPress 3.9 and PHP 5.5 does not support mysql_*

  • After upgrading to WordPress 3.9 and testing out PHP 5.5, I found that there are some references to mysql_real_escape_string() in your code, changing to $wpdb->escape() resolves the issue.

    Thanks!

    ./plugins/wordfence/lib/wordfenceURLHoover.php:	 mysql_real_escape_string($elem['owner']),
./plugins/wordfence/lib/wordfenceURLHoover.php:	 mysql_real_escape_string($elem['host']),
./plugins/wordfence/lib/wordfenceURLHoover.php:	 mysql_real_escape_string($elem['path']),
./plugins/wordfence/lib/wordfenceURLHoover.php:	 mysql_real_escape_string($elem['hostKey'])

  • Same problem here! I’m just disabling Wordfence and building a more-hardened .htaccess because it’s filling up the log mount point with mysql binary logs enabled.

$wp_db_version = 27916;

    Bumping for bugfix!

    This needs to be put into a patch. It’s a very simple fix, documented by doublesharp. Unfortunately WordPress uses Subversion instead of Git so there is no such thing as a “pull request”.
