PROBLEM: Was updating one of my Wordpress plugin, and find it weird that the Wordpress Plugin Directory does not reflect the changes correctly although I've changed the " Stable tag " in readme.txt. According to Wordpress Plugin " Task 3: "Tagging" a new version " guide, you'll need to edit the trunk/readme.txt beforehand. SOLUTION: That is not enough! In the end, I found out that you will need to update BOTH: trunk/readme.txt trunk/{your-plugin-name}.php Hope this helps!

Its popup from Facebook Messenger application to ping the CDN. ----- I noticed that from time to time, especially when my left comp is idle overnight, I'll have these blank pages opened in my browser window the next day. https://fbcdn-creative-a.akamaihd.net/hads-ak-prn1/hellocdn.html?v=1 My first thought was like... gosh, is there's malware on my comp? Then I started to inspect my comp. First Question. Is the CDN address valid? Did a search on the list of CDN addresses and found this stackoverflow page . Seems like its "fbcdn-creative-a.akamaihd.net" is one of the Facebook CDN. Furthermore, akamaihd.net is a reliable CDN provider. Next Question. If the CDN address is valid, could it be that Facebook CDN got compromised? So I inspect the page elements, and resources (js files). Seems like pretty OK, the URL that the script call is actually defined in the "result_endpoint " variable. // hardcode the return url var...
