WordPress sucks

Wed, 23 August 2006 1:41 am

It gets worse with each upgrade.

 

Update (6 pm):

Haha. I found the problem. It’s so stupid you won’t believe it.

Last night, I was trying to publish my post “Why do they like to age me?” but each time I tried to save or publish it, I got directed to a 404 error page.

Today, I read through similar cases in the WordPress support forums and discovered that it’s some security feature which activates the 404 error whenever someone tries to publish/save a post which is over a certain word length and contains multiple instances of the word “curl”.

How stupid is that?!

Now, I used that word many times last night in my post, obviously because that was the main subject of my post.

So, today, I deleted a few of the offending words and the post finally got through!

Sheesh.

Mabbe it has something to do with ‘c’ & ‘url’. Must be some exploit. *shrug*
