THE Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned anew consumers particularly health conscious people against the purchase and use of Nature’s dietary supplements and vitamins, and Max slimming and whitening products.
FDA is referring to the following products: Nature’s Blend Melatonin 3mg dietary supplement, Nature’s Way Alive! Multi-Vitamin, Nature Made Vitamin C Timed Release with Rose Hips, Max Slimming Capsule Garcinia Cambogia with l-glutathione, and Max white glutathione.
In an advisory released by the FDA this month, its post-marketing surveillance found that the five food supplements have not gone through a registration process of the agency, therefore had not been issued the Certificate of Product Registration, which assures the good quality of the product.
The agency cannot guarantee the quality and safety of these food supplements, the FDA advisory said, adding that consumption of the products may pose potential health hazard to the consuming public since these have not undergone evaluation and testing process.
“Food products including food supplements should not bear any misleading, deceptive, and false claims in their labels and/or any promotional materials that will provide erroneous impression on products’ character or identity,” the FDA said in its advisory.
The public is advised to be vigilant against food products that are not duly registered with FDA as well as all the concerned establishments are warned not to distribute the identified food supplements until they have already been covered by the appropriate authorization.

WordPress 4.9.4 is now available.
This maintenance release fixes a severe bug in 4.9.3, which will cause sites that support automatic background updates to fail to update automatically, and will require action from you (or your host) for it to be updated to 4.9.4.
Four years ago with WordPress 3.7 “Basie”, we added the ability for WordPress to self-update, keeping your website secure and bug-free, even when you weren’t available to do it yourself. For four years it’s helped keep millions of installs updated with very few issues over that time. Unfortunately yesterdays 4.9.3 release contained a severe bug which was only discovered after release. The bug will cause WordPress to encounter an error when it attempts to update itself to WordPress 4.9.4, and will require an update to be performed through the WordPress dashboard or hosts update tools.
WordPress managed hosting companies who install updates automatically for their customers can install the update as normal, and we’ll be working with other hosts to ensure that as many customers of theirs who can be automatically updated to WordPress 4.9.4 can be.
For more technical details of the issue, we’ve posted on our Core Development blog. For a full list of changes, consult the list of tickets.
Download WordPress 4.9.4 or visit Dashboard → Updates and click “Update Now.”

Things got off to a gradual start in 2018 with momentum starting to pick up over the course of the month. There were some notable developments in January, including a new point release and work being done on other important areas of the WordPress project.
WordPress 4.9.2 Security and Maintenance Release
On January 16, WordPress 4.9.2 was released to fix an important security issue with the media player, as well as a number of other smaller bugs. This release goes a long way to smoothing out the 4.9 release cycle with the next point release, v4.9.3, due in early February.

Updated Plugin Directory Guidelines
At the end of 2017, the guidelines for the Plugin Directory received a significant update to make them clearer and expanded to address certain situations. This does not necessarily make these guidelines complete, but rather more user-friendly and practical; they govern how developers build plugins for the Plugin Directory, so they need to evolve with the global community that the Directory serves.
If you would like to contribute to these guidelines, you can make a pull request to the GitHub repository or email plugins@wordpress.org. You can also jump into the #pluginreview channel in the Making WordPress Slack group.
