I am working on a better fix though and should have a updated version of the plugin available in the next few days.

Rehan – I’m not sure why you are getting that error – the server has been up all the time as far as I know and the log files on the server show not hits from the IP of your server. This probably means that the check as to whether or not to update the information from the server is not working correctly on your host – the message you see is the default message if the code has never managed to contact the server.

David – The main reason for the “WordPress version is up to date” message was to ensure that it was visible that the plugin was working correctly – I have had it suggested that the message is displayed in light grey rather than green which does sound like a good idea. I think that I will probably make the constant display of good news an option in a future version, if not the next release.

A minor security fix to Wordpress is out. I’ve had no problems but it is always good to keep up to date.
Actually, the changes are so minor you might want to just alter/overwrite the files involved. Despite the numerous code hacks I’ve in…
