WordPress Version 4.1.2 – Urgent Upgrade

wordpress-logo-updateOn April 21, 2015, WordPress 4.1.2 was released to the public. This is a security update for all previous WordPress versions.

This is a critical security release for all previous versions and we strongly encourage you to update your sites immediately.

WordPress versions 4.1.1 and earlier are affected by a critical cross-site scripting vulnerability, which could enable anonymous users to compromise a site.

Also fixed are three other security issues:

  • In WordPress 4.1 and higher, files with invalid or unsafe names could be uploaded.
  • In WordPress 3.9 and higher, a very limited cross-site scripting vulnerability could be used as part of a social engineering attack.
  • Some plugins were vulnerable to an SQL injection vulnerability.

A number of plugins also released security fixes yesterday. Keep everything updated to stay secure. If you’re a plugin author, please read this post to confirm that your plugin is not affected by the same issue.

If you are unable/uncomfortable upgrading your WordPress site then let our experts do all the work for you. Order a WordPress Maintenance service today.

Claim Your Reserved .UK Domain Name

Own an existing .co.uk domain?
Claim your reserved .uk domain now to avoid missing out!

On 10 June 2014, shorter, sharper ‘example.uk’ domain names became available for the first time alongside ‘example.co.uk’, ‘example.org.uk’ and so on. This represents the biggest modification of the UK namespace since it began.

Any unique ‘example.uk’ domain name (e.g. one that does not have an equivalent name already registered as a .co.uk or a .org.uk) is available to register in the normal way.

However, over 10 million existing UK Domain Family customers are being offered the shorter equivalent of their current address, with five years to decide whether they want to use it in addition to, or instead of the domain they already have. In the small proportion of instances where there could be competition – e.g. where one person holds example.co.uk and another holds example.org.uk – the new .uk domain will be offered to the .co.uk registrant.

If you registered a .co.uk domain, before 28th October 2013, then you can claim your reserved .uk domain name simply by visiting the link below.

For more detail on the new .uk domain and release process, please see the .UK information dedicated hub here at dotuklaunch.uk.
