How to Solve problem of wpscan in Backtrack 5 r3?

Wpscan is wordpress security scanner, which is pre-installed in backtrack 5 , but it`s outdated version, so when you tried to update it, you may  have face some problems. Here is solution which work for me.

cd /pentest/web
rm -rf wpscan
git clone https://github.com/wpscanteam/wpscan.git
cd wpscan
gem install bundler && bundle install --without test development
apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
gem install  bundler
bundle install
ruby ./wpscan.rb

--follow-redirection  If the target url has a redirection, it will be followed without asking if you wanted to do so or not

--wp-content-dir <wp content dir>  WPScan try to find the content directory (ie wp-content) by scanning the index page, however you can specified it. Subdirectories are allowed

--wp-plugins-dir <wp plugins dir>  Same thing than --wp-content-dir but for the plugins directory. If not supplied, WPScan will use wp-content-dir/plugins. Subdirectories are allowed

Do wordlist password brute force on the 'admin' username only...

  ruby wpscan.rb --url www.example.com --wordlist darkc0de.lst --username admin

Enumerate installed plugins...

  ruby wpscan.rb --url www.example.com --enumerate p

==WPSTOOLS ARGUMENTS==
