Placing the fix

Please download the following patched code file and follow the instructions below to put it in place:

• MT-5.02-WeblogPublisher-Patch.zip

The targeted file you’re going to replace is in “lib/MT/WeblogPublisher.pm” .

First, create a backup of that file by either renaming it to be WeblogPublisher.pm.bak or copying its original into your home directory for safe keeping.

Unzip the patch file, and upload the WeblogPublisher.pm to the “lib/MT” directory to replace the original.

Confirm that the bug has been addressed; otherwise, revert the backup file.
