John’s Rant: What to rant about?
Make sure you checkout the WPSupport store. where you can get direct access to some of the best plugins we have reviewed located all in one place. We do not host the plugins but provide the link to download it direct from WordPress.org or the plugin developer, and they may occasionally have an affiliate link but not too often since that adds a whole new layer of work to what I have to do.
For developers who find value in what I am doing here please donate that value back to the show.

WordPress REST API Bug Could Be Used in Stored XSS Attacks – https://threatpost.com/wordpress-rest-api-bug-could-be-used-in-stored-xss-attacks/124294/
The recently patched WordPress REST API Endpoint vulnerability is the gift that keeps on giving.
Already responsible for more than one million website defacement and attempts to monetize some of those attacks, the flaw also opens the door to a separate attack.
Researchers at Sucuri who found the original bug on Monday disclosed details on how it could be leveraged to pull off a stored cross-site scripting attack.

not guilty listener
value ruined by begging This used to be a good podcast, before the hosts became resentful of the audience who does not donate money. Now a good percentage of the podcast seems to be devoted to ranting and threatening to cancel the thing … and ironically from a consultant on how to run a paid membership site. Sorry … I'm moving on.

Last Modified Timestamp
The Lowdown:
This is a simple plugin that adds a new colums to your post list menu so you can sort your posst by when they wre last modified. This is a useful tool if you are regularly going back and updating posts or if you have multiple people work on content so you can know when was the last time it was updated.
Rating 4 Dragons
Plugin Notes
The Lowdown:
This plugin allows you to add notes to each plugin so you can know what each plugin is for this is a gret way to be able to keep track of why you installed a plugin since many time the name for the plugin is not real clear on its use.
Rating 4 Dragons
WP Social Ninja
sent in by Hrove Krbavac
The Lowdown:
If you are looking for a way to add social share icons to your posts/pages this plugin may help in that task. Although when I went to test it it seems the plugin is incomplete in several areas and has some theme incompatibilities When I tried on one of my test sites it cause header errors but worked fine on my other test site. All in all not too bad but still a work in progress.
