You will have to ask on the WordPress Support Forum regarding that issue. I thought this was fixed with servers upgrading their servers (it’s more of a server issue than a WordPress issue, to my understanding).

PHP isn’t unreliable. The folks who code with PHP aren’t reliable. WordPress is not losing its reputation. In fact, they are earning it by releasing early and fast security updates when a serious security threat is uncovered. They respond faster than most programs, many of which people continue to use a year or two after a security vulnerability has been revealed. Automattic/WordPress is more up front and honest about sincere security threats than most companies.

The majority of the security issues are really non-threatening. They apply to old versions, specific Plugins, and are fairly harmless, though people do love to sensationalize them. Actually, a lot about WordPress is boring, once you’ve blogged for a while, so a little security threat adds drama, don’t you think?

Honestly, keep updated, aware of what’s going on, and make sure your company hires the BEST Java folks around as there are a lot more security issues with Java and Javascript, as well as with all the various CMS, blogging, and software programs out there. WordPress is now being used by millions, and if the NY Times, CNN, Fox TV, and like folks put their trust in WordPress, shouldn’t your company?

Remember, it isn’t a flaw in WordPress that’s the problem. It’s those who thrive on breaking code that are the problem - and the solution if they work for the benefit, not evil, of others. The more vulnerabilities are found, the stronger WordPress becomes.

what is happening with older versions of WordPress?

Summary: Love it!

Don’t forget, you rarely hear from the thousands and thousands who have no trouble upgrading. If your blog broke, then the issue is most likely Theme or Plugin, not core programming.

Reports from the Forums are statistically stating that most of these are a result of doing something wrong during the upgrade or a Theme or Plugin issue. Hopefully, this will be easier in the future with the automatic upgrade feature they are working on.
