I just updated to 4.1.1 and the site still shows layer slider needs updating. It shows as installed on the dashboard, but not as a plugin.
How do I remedy this situation? Several sites are doing the same thing.
Thanks in advance :-)

I do not have a child theme because I do not edit .php files so no need to have one.

Ok I added this to the functions.php file and it worked. But very strange I should have to do the same after any updates? Why can’t it be fixed?

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, what exactly did you add to functions.php?

Best regards,

Hi, i get same problem: re-upload enfold to 4.1.2 via FTP and in the plugin system status is still displays a message that plugin is not updated to latest version 6.5.5. WordPress version 4.8, layerslider WP version 6.5.1. Furthermore, i get message that plugin is not activated and i need to buy a license to use plugin. Thanks

Hi,

The bundled version of LayerSlider will be updated with theme updates, which we do depending on our own release cycle and depending on critical updates. The users cant update the bundled version of the layerslider, even if actived.
However, if a user wishes to update before the next theme update, they can simply purchase a copy of the layerslider on codecanyon, upload it as a plugin and activate it. It will then overwrite the bundled version, and then the user is in full control of LayerSlider updates.
There is no need to deactivate the bundled version, it automatically detects if the plugin version is active and disables itself.

Best regards,
Mike

same issue here. If in the changelog (4.1.1) is stated that layerslider is updated to the latest version, I expect that it is so.
The system status of LS still shows 6.5.1, so does my WAF which also shows critical issue.
What else is needed to correct this…?
I have 4.1.2 istalled via FTP – all fine except LS version…

thanks

Hi,
This is all correct, the Layer Slider updates will be managed though the theme updates. v6.5.1 is the correct version, my install shows no critical updates. On the chance that your notification was not reset, Please go to wp-content/themes/enfold/config-layerslider/LayerSlider/layerslider.php file via FTP and insert following code on 13th line:
```
// Remove LayerSlider’s update notifications
add_filter(‘site_transient_update_plugins’, ‘av_remove_ls_update_notification’);
function av_remove_ls_update_notification($value) {
if($value) {
unset($value->response[plugin_basename(__FILE__)]);
return $value;
}
}
```
Best regards,
Mike

Hi Mike

I found the file here: /themes/enfold/config-layerslider/LayerSlider/layerslider.php
Added the code … But it didn’t work?? I still see the NAGGING 1 plugin to update but no-show under WP Updates??

Thanks – Getting that nagging thing off would be super … But won’t this solution be overwrite next time Enfold is updated?
Any chance this could be in the CHILD version of added to the function.php in child folder?

Hi Mike
Not funny dude!
I maintain a lot of sites and use Enfold for all – This nagging LayerSlide is a NAGGING thing.
Please reconsider your answer

Hi,
Sorry this was not meant to be funny, I believe this plugin works on the layerslider.
But ok, I can understand that you don’t want to use it.

I remember when I posted the other code it didn’t work in the child theme, hence the suggestion to edit the files, but I went to take another look now, but because I have Enfold v4.4.1 installed the layerslider is not giving the update nag.
Which version are you using?
I will install a older version and investigate, I do note though, that my posted code has curry quotes in the code, could that be why it didn’t work for you?

Best regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
No problem :-)
I changed the curry quotes in your code and tried ut again – IT WORKED so thanks for the solution.
Here is the code without the “curry”
```
// Remove LayerSlider’s update notifications
add_filter('site_transient_update_plugins', 'av_remove_ls_update_notification');
function av_remove_ls_update_notification($value) {
if($value) {
unset($value->response[plugin_basename(__FILE__)]);
return $value;
}
}
```
I always try to have the latest versions :)
At this time it’s:
WP: 4.9.7–da_DK
Enfold 4.4.1 (Child) that includes the nagging Slider 6.7.1 (Maybe a tick in the settings of Enfold that turned this nagging off?

Have a nice summer
