On June 6th, 2012, JobRoller 1.6.1 (our WordPress job board theme) was released. This is a maintenance and security release. It addresses a handful of bugs, patches a potential security vulnerability, and adds some new features. Upgrading is highly recommended for all 1.6 customers. Fixed 18 tickets total. A breakdown of tickets can be found below.
Changes include, automatic disabling of color stylesheets when using child themes, and JobRoller post types (job types, job categories, etc..) no longer being recreated every time the theme is updated.
This version also includes an important security fix for a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
Upgrade Information
Now you can automatically upgrade directly from your WordPress admin. Under “Appearance” => “Themes”, you’ll see an upgrade link next to JobRoller. If you don’t, check back later. The AppThemes upgrade check API runs twice a day. It’s important to note that using this auto updater will overwrite any custom coding done to the theme. Customers who have made theme code changes will need to manually upgrade instead.
If you prefer the old fashion way or have made core theme modifications (which is not recommended), visit AppThemes to download the full version.
