WPDirectory Pro has released version 1.6.1, not long after releasing 1.6.0. This update builds ontop of version 1.6.0, addressing the XSS vulnerability again. Updates were also made to the plugins. Here’s the offical post on version 1.6.1:

I’m proud to announce that WPDirectory Pro 1.6.1 has been released.

Version 1.6.1 contains a small change to further improve upon the security put in place in version 1.6.0. There are no other changes or fixes.
This release is not required by users, but is recommended.

For further information on the XSS vulnerability please see this post

Additionally, all the plugins for WPDirectory Pro have been updated for the correct URL and directory naming structure. Thanks to a customer who noticed an issue with naming that I thought was corrected I have uploaded these as well. There are no changes to the plugins, only the directory naming. If these are already working on your site there is no need to replace them.

Head on over to the WPDirectory Pro website to update your version!

I must say that, in my opinion, WPDirectory Pro is quickly becoming the best Link Directory plugin for Wordpress. It started out as a plugin with limited features, and due to the hard work of Bruce ( WPDirectory Pro Owner ) and his programmer, its morphing into a full fledge Link Directory at an outstanding price.

WPDirectory Pro, a plugin for Wordpress allowing you to add a link directory to your blog, releases its latest version 1.4. The upgrade consist of the following:

What was fixed in 1.4.0?
- Users receive invalid turing number when upgrading links
- Two new payment gateways (Alertpay & Moneybookers)
- Currency options
- Hook to display WPDirectory Pro on the front page of Wordpress
- No “add” button in admin
- Some incorrect text in areas were found
- When validating links the URL is not clickable
- When admin edits a listing, the listing owner receives an email (Disabled now, the ability to enable/disable will be added in the future)
- Post comments are now resolved

It was also announced that you can expect to see the following in the next release:

What should be in the next version?
- Titles are only working properly on some servers, will be fully fixed in next version
- Translation file
- More payment modules

If your new to WPDirectory Pro, and want to get an idea on how it works / is used, you can find it here on our blog. We are still in the mist of completely rolling it out, but you’ll get the idea.

If you remember a couple of months ago, Dody, lead programmer and partial owner of NiceCoder decided to leave NiceCoder to explore other areas. As of a few days ago, Dody has rejoined NiceCoder again. He will resume his old position as Lead Programmer.

In other news, Bruceper, or Bruce as most people know him, has decided to leave NiceCoder in order to start his own venture. Bruce is the current owner of two scripts, that NiceCoder use to sell under their umbrella of products, WPDirectory Pro and NiceBackup. WPDirectory Pro has been taking off in sales as the first real directory plugin for the popular blogging software Wordpress. It has alot of the same features as IndexU, although it is considered the ‘lite’ version of IndexU. Take a moment to check it out. It even is a great subsitute for the built in links that Wordpress offers.

Those that have bought WPDirectory Pro in the past and went to the NiceCoder Forums for support, should now head over to WPDirectory Pro Forums to recieve help.

IndexU Hosting is happy for Bruce and hopes to forge a strong relationship with him and his new company. WPDirectory Pro and Wordpress are part of the Guaranteed to Run Out of the Box scripts our servers host.

WPDir Pro now has its own offical website. All support, software releases, and information pertaining to WPDir will now be located at the new website.
