Javier Carazo (@carazo) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I am CEO and co-founder of Codection. We develop WordPress and WooCommerce plugins and we offer specialized service for WordPress owners, mainly custom develops and optimizations.

WordPress Origin Story

I knew WordPress when a colleague tell me he had a better solution to do a blog than the one we used then, Drupal. After it, I created Linux Hispano Juegos, a blog about gaming in Linux; and later we moved Linux Hispano to WordPress (before it worked with phpNuke, Mambo, Joomla! and Drupal).

Then I started to be more interested in this technology and I write a book about it “WordPress: Manual Básico” (editorial Ra-Ma). Maybe the first book about WordPress in Spanish.

After it I continue focused in it and then, Alberto Hornero and me founded Codection and we start to sell services with WordPress from the first day. And I continue here, now CEO of the company and coding everyday.

Version 2.5.5: the cron import 'Update roles for existing users?' option is now a selector with the same three choices as the manual importer, including 'Yes, add new roles and do not override existing ones' (existing checkbox settings are kept), and fixed existing roles being replaced on multisite when a row had no role to assign and roles should not be overridden

Not right now, but I think it's a good idea to explore in the future.

Committed [3704679] to Plugins SVN:
Version 2.5.4: fixed a privilege escalation where batched imports (manual and recurring cron) resumed the next batch with SplFileObject::seek(), which counts physical lines, against a resume position counted in CSV records; any exported field that can contain a newline (e.g. the Biographical Info profile field, editable by every role) could make the two counts diverge, letting a batch resume inside an open quoted value so the remaining lines were parsed as smuggled top-level CSV rows under the importing admin's own capabilities - resume now uses the exact byte offset (ftell/fseek) of the last fully parsed record

Committed [3699268] to Plugins SVN:
Version 2.5.2: fixed a privilege escalation where request-driven imports (manual and AJAX batch) trusted a caller_can_promote_users flag taken from the request instead of the current user's capability (reported by yzx001), and fixed a privilege escalation where the front-end importer's change-role-of-users-not-present option could be saved and applied without the promote_users capability (reported by BINESH MADHARAPU)
