Interesting – I was wondering the same thing, having just received the email from them.

It’s not particularly helpful that the technical details of the vulnerability are not available when you go to the linked page.

TBH, I can’t recall if I ever signed up to their site or not – or whether they are getting me email from the Domain registration or elsewhere. If I did sign up with them it was a long long time ago.

I had a similar issue & found that it was caused by the xhtml-content-negotiation-for-wordpress plugin.

I disabled this by moving the directory so it couldn’t find it & login proceeded ok after.

It gave different results depending on the browser. Internet Explorer just gave a blank page (although you could view the full page if you displayed the source). Firefox & Chrome gave an XML error & refused to display the page.

In my case it was linked to (or at least it was the first error on the page) the &rsaquo character, which for some reason seemed to not be liked when parsing HTML 5 (I’m assuming that this is what broke it with this update.

I just noticed the same thing.
It would be good if it either cut the end of the title, or also showed how many characters were available when you typed the title – in many cases I’d alter the wording if I knew that the title was going to be over the limit.

The problem at the moment is that (unless it is shown somewhere that I didn’t notice), it fails completely silently – it is only if you happen to notice that the post isn’t there on Twitter that you realise that something went wrong.

The problem should be fixed in the new version I’ve just uploaded

I’m getting a very similar error on the tracking page of tweetable over the last few days. In my case it does not seem to be working & is not retrieving any results for recent tweets, or occasionally only 1 result rather than the whole list that it used to get.

The updated version is now also available on the original author’s website if anyone else needs to download it.

Information about it here:

Download it here:

If you want to get in contact with me, there is a contact form on my website & I will then email you back the updated files.

It makes more sense to add the line:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);`
to wp-config.php – wp-settings.php will be overwritten when you upgrade, but if the value is already defined in wp-config then it uses what is set there.

Hmm…

I went through the exact same process as before, removing & then re-installing the plugin. It now seems to work fine. I can only think that somehow one of the files got corrupted somehow when I previously uploaded.

So the problem is solved, but i have no idea what caused it in the first place.

Thanks for the help & suggestions.

Hi

Thanks for responding.

I have 26 quotes in the database.

In terms of changing things on the admin page, do you mean on the previous version or on the new version. If you mean the new version, then the answer is no – I just installed the updated version & found that the options page was giving the message that I mentioned in my post above & on the website, where quotes should have been appearing it was also giving an error message.

The problem has now fixed itself – I don’t know how, as I haven’t been doing anything that I thought would be related to that function, although I have been making changes to other aspects of my site.

I’ll hope that it doesn’t recur again.

Thanks

I was worried that I was missing something far more simple that I could have checked against.

It works fine anyway – that is the main thing.

Sure. I’ll change that. Like I said, I’ve never used the author archives feature before in WordPress (as evidenced by the fact that I had also not come across the fact that the plugin broke on over 999 posts), so I haven’t really thought about the different types of author information.
I will make the change you said, to be incorporated in the next release. Hopefully at some point in the future, I’ll add in an options page, to let people configure some of these things themselves, like deciding what types of pages the plugin appears on, & altering the CSS for it etc.

Hi. Thanks for this comment David. I’m glad you’re finding the plugin useful.

Author archives never occurred to me, as I am the only one writing on the site that I designed it for.

I’ll upload a revised version in a few minutes that shows details for author archives. During the process of this, I also came across (& fixed) a bug where the plugin doesn’t function correctly if there are over 999 results.

I’ve just released version 0.4 of the plugin. This adds the following changes to it:
Alters the text when there is only a single result on the page.
Corrects bug so that the correct text displays when there is only a single page of results.
Displays correct text when a year archive is shown rather than a month.
Tidied up text to fix some grammatical errors.
Various non-critical bugs fixed & old code tidied up.
Comments added in the html output to help error tracing, identifying the code produced by the plugin.

I’ve also made a page on my website specifically for the plugin – something I had never got round to doing originally.

The download page in the plugin directory remains the same:
