    I would like to ask how many knows about the security bug in this script?

    Why they don't give us the newer version to fix it.

  2. HOW TO UPDATE FROM AN EARLIER VERSION

    To upgrade from a previous version to current version you have to follow the next steps:

    1. try to make a backup before anything else. I know is a bit much because the wallpapers take a lot but you can at least save the db

    2. upload all the files from the new script and overwrite the old ones. Do not overwrite db_info.php cause you won't be able to connect to the database anymore

    3. Now you need to run updates/update_settings.php

    4. Now run updates/update_to_3.5.php

    5. Now run updates/update_wallpaper_resolutions.php - to fix wallpaper resolutions

    Depending of how many wallpapers do you have in your site the updates can take more or less time to process.
    If you have many wallpapers the update script must have at least 64MB allocated to run and maximum execution time should be enough to permit to it to finish (at least 5mins for 30k wallpapers).

    6. Clean the templates_c folder - delete everytinh from it

    7. You are done. You upgraded the script to version 3.5

    Hope all will go well for everybody.
