Just updated the version yesterday, and I guess WordPress Developers are working on Securing sites.
That’s great to hear, Mairaj. WordPress developers are doing fantastic work on making the cms more secure and adding new features.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your rest of the weekend, bud.
Hi Davesh,
I just upgraded to the latest version of WordPress but some of the plugins have stopped working. I even can’t find them in Plugins page. If I try installing them, an error appears that the directory still exists. I don’t what’s the issue, can you please assist me?
P.S. Here’s the link to my blog, please glance through it and see what I’m doing right and what not.
Looking forward.
By the way, your blog is fruitful.
Hi Imran,
I guess that is because “some” plugin is conflicting with the WordPress 3.4.2. The best way would be removing those plugins through FTP and reinstalling them one by one.
If issue still exists, then please contact me through the contact from, I’d be happy to take a closer look to your blog.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week ahead.

Dear Davesh,
Thanks a bunch for getting back to me, the issue has been resolved now. There’s another issue that’s just popped up – somehow my Adsense account is not being approved by Google, even after 5 attempts. In the most recent concern I got the reply that “site does not comply with Adsense policies”.
In four attempts before I used to get “Unacceptable content”. Here’s my blog link, could you please tell me what’s wrong? What I’m doing wrong?

Please get back to me at your earliest possible. Would greatly appreciate that.
Hi Davesh,
My blog is almost 6 months old. I received around 2 thousand pageviews daily. A friend of mine told me that I could apply now – anyway, I just need to know what I’m doing wrong. I can wait for Adsense or any other ad service but first I want to avoid things that offend Google or any other search engine.
I’d really be grateful if you could give it a wurl.
