Hi,
I have developed a website for a law firm using Enfold and have just received this message from the web host.
–
From web host….We’re having some security issues with http://www.advokatfirmancredo.se.
Our firewall dropes connection to the site due to this line:
ata-table .avia-pricing-row\x0aWe will make an exception for the site from Credos LAN but we recommend to have a look on the site to avoid problem in the future.
If you use a CMS as WordPress or Joomla please ensure that you are at the latest release.
–I have spoken with the web host and they say they are detecting errors on line 8 and line 385 a } and a] bracket seem to be missing. This is being picked up particularly in Explorer 11.
Could you please advise me on this matter.
Thank you
Nick

we recommend to use security plugins. Have you got the same problem when using a default WordPress theme?
Cheers!

I see you are suggesting I use a security plugin….which do you suggest?
If I switch to a default WordPress theme do I loose any Enfold setting when I return to Enfold?The support at the web host say they are detecting errors on line 8 and line 385 a missing } and a missing ] bracket. Are you 100% sure Enfold is properly de-bugged with the latest WordPress in Explorer?
Thanks

Please check https://kriesi.at/support/topic/recommended-plugins/ for a full list of recommended plugins.
Enfold is fully tested before any release and is running smooth on thousands of sites. It is possible that one of the plugins installed on your site is causing this issue.
To find the plugin in conflict please follow the below steps
1. Goto plugins page > Deactivate all active Plugins
2. Updated WordPress and Enfold to latest version if you have not.
3. Activate one plugin at a time… refresh the page and check for the issue.
4. Make sure the plugins are all updatedIf you switch to a default theme and switch back to enfold no you wont lose any settings unless you make any changes in the default theme when you switch.
Cheers!

Thank you for your advice, the problem has been solved now. I was using Better WordPress Minify a plug-in I have previously been advised to use from your support team. After disconnecting this plug-in the webhosts said there was no longer a problem with Internet Explorer 11 ….they also indicated they might have some kind of minifying function/feature on their servers which could have been creating the conflict. I use Enfold a lot with a number of different webhosts and this is the first time I have encountered this problem. I notice in your link of for recommended plug-ins you do not feature Better WordPress Minify but you do have W3 Total cache which I think does a similar thing…is it better to use this plug-in instead in the future. Furthermore I do not see any particular plug-in that relates to security, which is what I was advised to use by Andy, could you clarify which in the listing you provided offers security features for future reference.
My thanks

Glad it is sorted!
Word defence do a great job but in the settings you have to check if the minifying options can be disabled so you don’t end up having the same issue again. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/
