Patch bounties, what are they? They are an incentive by CosmicWord. We are working to provide stable software, that works the same across main server configurations. You submit patches via github issues

Below are a list of things needed to be patched, that aren’t working properly on all servers with the price attached to each one. You submit your fixes on github and mention the patch bounty in the title.

Update — the below have been fixed
$50 solve why themes aren’t loading for download for all server configurations –

$100 make it so auto-update the core from the server when a new version is out — need auto update code that reliably works.

$50 Patch json response update failed on certain servers when writing a post, publishing a post and when deleting a plugin. They all seem to be stemming from the same issue. This is CosmicWord specific, not a WP codebase bug. Publishing, writing and deleting plugins all work, it’s just an erroneous error, that confuses people.

$20 certain configurations have a warning in an unknown version of PHP saying headers are being sent after output. We believe this may be stemming from seo-functions.php, a Cosmic specific file.

We appreciate you helping patch these issues, so we can ship a 1.1.5 that is the excellence everyone deserves, along with a new modernized feature.

In CosmicWord 1.1.4 we were focused on removing legacy features and added in login security to help try to prevent brute force logins. This introduced the pop-up letting you know that your Ip may be logged.

We removed any form of support for Windows Live Writer, since it was discontinued in 2017. We completely removed trackbacks, except for the minimal amount needed to avoid plugins looking for trackbacks not to crash. We removed them because they were one way to do a denial of service attack, which is one person attacking a site or distributed denial of service, which is more than one person.

Trackbacks were the number one way spam got all over your site, which is something everyone wanted gone. Trackbacks were from a bygone era of telling one another that a site linked to you, so we disabled it, but due to how prevalent it is throughout the code Disabled we have not fully removed it. All Filters and hooks for trackbacks remain for backward compatibility.

We also improved the security for language selection, session management, and enhanced cookie protection.

These changes show our commitment to maintaining a modern, secure CosmicWord while ensuring compatibility with existing plugins and themes.

We are now on github with version 1.1.4
