phpBB WordPress 3.2.1 released. Important note about custom phpbb_last_topics.php

Post by axew3 »

Important note:
If you are using custom files and specifically the custom
phpbb_last_topics.php file to display topics,

note that you must replace the line

Code: Select all

$w3phpbbuava = unserialize(W3ALLPHPBBUAVA);
with this:

Code: Select all

$w3phpbbuava = W3ALLPHPBBUAVA;

== Changelog ==

Code: Select all

= 3.2.1 =
* Release Date: 4 Nov 2026
Fixed: Remove all old PHP serialize and unserialize instructions across the entire plugin codebase.
Important note: If you are using custom files and specifically the custom phpbb_last_topics.php file to display topics, note that you must replace the line `$w3phpbbuava = unserialize(W3ALLPHPBBUAVA);` with this: `$w3phpbbuava = W3ALLPHPBBUAVA;`
Fixed: Removed all `esc_sql()` calls and completed the migration of all queries to WordPress MySQL Prepared Statements in class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php so to fix any other possible query related security issue.
WP MUMS: The multisite help page has been updated https://www.axew3.com/w3/2017/04/wp_w3all-for-wordpress-ms-mu-multisite-multiuser-network-installations/
Update: File `common/custom_functions.php` adding another simple example for MUMS and little fix others.
Fixed: Minor fixes (cleanup).
