New Look and WordPress Bug
Posted in Computers, Lillesvin Networks, Programming, Software on August 13th, 2009 by Anders K. Madsen – 3 CommentsI accidently stumbled across this nice WordPress theme by Rob Goodlatte, which automatically increases/decreases the font size depending on the size of the browser window in order to maintain a sensible and readable line length. I’m still not entirely through modifying it (the CSS is a bit of a mess and I’ve found several inconsistencies throughout the theme) and I’m not quite sure how well the dynamic font size works with regards to accessibility, but what the hell — it’s easy enough to switch back to the old theme again should this turn out to not work as expected, so let’s just give it a go.
Actually, I stumbled across this theme because I had to do an urgent upgrade of WordPress because of a nasty, nasty flaw recently discovered and described on Full Disclosure. Basically it allows anyone to reset the admin password effectively locking out the standard admin user, so if you’re running WordPress, make sure to update to the latest version at once — and upgrading is not that hard. I upgraded from an ancient version without a single problem (that I know of).
