Hi Gabriel,

I saw your earlier comment that you had updated the plugin, but the download link: http://gabriel.ppgr.com.br/register-plus-redux/ doesn’t work.

Can I get your version from anywhere?

Yeah, I’m rude. He knows there is a bug in his code and his response is that its a bug with wordpress. I know input validation, XSS, and SQL injection is hard to comprehend but its important that it be prevented at every level. I don’t think you realize that we aren’t all running this on personal websites for fun. This is serious business. Why would I contribute to a programmer that isn’t planning on fixing his code? Turn it over to me. I’ll fix it.

FooMagoo, you are rude.

Why don’t you offer to help instead of demanding more free code from radiok.

And if you don’t know how to help, here is a link http://radiok.info/donate/

Are you ever planning on fixing your register_plus_redux code? Youve got a lot of users that are dead in the water because you wrote broken code and wont fix it. Not to mention the sites that use your code and dont even realize how vulnerable it is to sql injection and XSS. There isnt that much code in the plugin. You’ve known about the security holes for over a year and you’re doing nothing about it. Pathetic.

I also noticed this today when doing an audit on current plugins after updating WordPress. I’m curious as to the reason its not listed on the WordPress plugins lists, and whether we going to see anymore updates?

Comment on wp_update_user and user_login by Colm de Cleir

Interesting... The only problems are... You're not really supposed to change the core Wordpress files - this renders it difficult to upgrade. And if you change it "manually" with wpdb->query, then it doesn't run all the actions/filters associated with updating a user. For completeness' sake, maybe...


$old_user_data = WP_User::get_data_by( 'id', $user_id );
$wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_login = '" . apply_filters('pre_user_login', $new_user_login) . "' WHERE ID = '$user_id'");
do_action('profile_update', $user_id, $old_user_data);

I haven't tested this, btw.

Where is the download link to this plugin??? Are you still kicking? My request: get back to work, please, because this is a great work which doesn’t deserve to be abandoned . Thanks.

Are you serious?

Code Line 2611?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

HaHa … am I glad I don’t have to maintain that code.

Besides I think the developer of this plugin took a hike. I have tried to contact him for months now and he doesn’t answer. I am in touch with the developer of AutoChimp and he can’t get a hold of the guy who developed Register Plus Redux either. So I guess we all just might have written our 2 cents on a roll of toilet paper and used it the next morning.
