WordPress 2.9 CURLPROTO_FILE bug

Merry Christmas to everyone and an upcoming happy new year! I hope you’ve got all your reservations because by this time, all of the good spots may already be fully booked.

As for WordPress, it recently released upgrade version 2.9. Joyful as it sounded, it seemed there was a bug in it.

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLPROTO_FILE cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/domain/public_html/domain/wp-includes/http.php on line 1302

It’s not really a security flaw so don’t fret if you’ve upgraded too. Plus, some are saying its plugin conflicts but the majority has concluded it’s a core bug.

And not to worry, WordPress 2.9.1 should be out soon (hopefully before the new year) and this bug would’ve been squahed.

P.S.: I just noticed it’s affecting my Twitter and Delicious plugins too.

P.P.S.: Also found, it’s messing with scheduled publishing.
