What is the procedure for upgrading WP Layer Slider?

Hey freelancemom,

The Layer Slider is bundled with the theme so you don’t have to worry about anything other than keeping the theme itself up to date :-)

Hey!

We have released Enfold 3.8.5 just to correct the false positive warning Wordfence threw. We are still working on the major update which will be released in a week or two. That update will include the latest version of LayerSlider.

I quote Kriesi’s reply below, so you can read more about the false positive warning

I will explain in a little more detail so you do understand whats going on here. First of all: Basilis is right. There is no security risk at all. Its a false positive.

In the file that is mentioned by Wordfence and other security tools (enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-template-builder/php/html-helper.class.php) we got a php comment that explains what one of the functions does. The comment says:

//fallback for previous default input link elements: convert a http://www.link.at value to a manually entry

The link that is posted in that file is a generic placeholder for any link used. What we did not know is that actually someone was using the domain “link.at”. Apparently this domain got hacked now and is blacklisted. And this is why Wordfence thinks that the theme has a problem, because there is a link to a hacked domain.

However: This link is located in a php comment (its not an actual html link) which will never be displayed anywhere, can not be clicked, can not be used at all. It simply a line of non executable text. We will remove this text with the next update, however there is nothing you or your team need to do to your clients servers, theme files or whatnot since

a.) there is no actual problem, just a false positive
b.) you can fix the false positive by removing that single comment line

We will release a small fix for this issue to prevent any further confusion about it. But to be clear once again: this can not be used to hack anyone or anything. It’s a false positive and if you think your site has been hacked its certainly not because of this. (I would also doubt that its because Enfold in general, because there are no known issues with the theme but if you think you have evidence that the opposite is true please share it so we can investigate the issue)

Cheers!
