Fantastico updated and WordPress upgraded

It always takes some time for Fantastico to catch up with the latest releases for each piece of software. WordPress is actually one of the easiest pieces of PHP software to install and upgrade, but Fantastico does make it easier. I just don’t recommend it for anybody who likes to keep up with updates and who wants to keep their sites as secure as possible with the latest security releases.

It took several days, and I don’t know whether it took several days for the company to modify Fantastico to be compatible with the upgrade, or it just took several days for the changes to be downloaded to the server, but I’m glad to be able to finally upgrade WordPress without breaking Fantastico’s features in the future. (I could have just downloaded the archive and manually upgraded, but I wanted to see how long it took for Fantastico to catch up.)

My advice to webmasters: don’t use Fantastico with major pieces of software like Joomla!, WordPress, Openads, etc. These are highly active projects that often release updates and correct problems. Using Fantastico can drastically affect the security and reliability of your dynamic sites. (In short, it’s for chumps.)
