this is not just a wordfence error/issue. I am having issues with sucuri, ithemes and wordfence. I reinstalled and updated latest enfold and still same problems.

I have a website that was super slow on the backend and throwing the same layerslider errors and warnings in Wordfence and Dashboard home as described by others in this thread. I disabled the unused layerslider in the child theme’s function file and the backend has already shown improvement in speed.

I have one other site that is showing similar problems, but it is actually using layerslider. I’m reluctant to upgrade other sites using an older version of Enfold until the layerslider issue is resolved. Is there an ETA on when this bug will be fixed?

i think that layerslider (kreatura media) itself have backtracked there 6.2.2
on enfold 4.0.4 is definitly only the 6.2.0

did your layerslider not work as before – is it only the warning of wordfence ?
i have no problems even with older layerslider versions. So that little red update notice did upset you?

be a little patient for the next enfold update – as far as i know Kriesi (Christian) is in contact with kreatura media to help them getting rid of that little inconsistency.

Whoops – sorry – I see another thread addressing this. Thank you.

I am experiencing exactly the same issue.

I have the latest version of Enfold and it’s happening on all installs. I’ve just deactivated Wordfence and the plugin update notification disappears. “No updates available”. As soon as I reinstall Wordfence, it reappears to show there’s a plugin update available and a Wordfence generated warning that layer slider needs to be updated to 6.2.2. – critical update.

I am using LayerSlider and need to use it moving forward. Disabling LayerSlider is not a solution. The error messages don’t seem to affect normal functioning of Enfold theme and all its components so far. They may be just another false positive. Perhaps Yigit can clarify on this.
By the way, I have tried manual FTP upload and wordfence rescan does not see the message. But I cannot verify if that solves the problem just yet until another plugin update as the error messages appeared every time a plugin is updated.

As suggested by Yigit, disabling Layerslider in the functions.php file works for me in 4.0.4. It eliminates the slider, eliminates the erroneous WP plugin update needed, and I suspect will curtail Wordfence false positive notifications. Thank you!

DEVGEN,

Ah the plot thickens. I keep getting alerts from WordFence about a “LayerSlider WP” update but I cannot update because the license it tied to Enfold. Maybe Enfold needs to provide the update and maybe, just maybe that will solve the problem.

“LayerSlider WP” for Enfold is v6.1.6 but the current version is v6.2.0. Maybe that’s the fix.

Enfold, what’s the word?

Hi, i have a Problem with the plugin WP Slider, this was included in you theme enfold – i do not use the wp slider and so i don`t buy it! My problem is Wordfence need a update of WP Slider … . I have contact the team of WP Slider, they told me that this is a problem of enfold an the author of the theme!!
What can i do now? How can you helf me?
Thank you very much …

Wordfence has become a must-have wordpress plugin. Given a recent issue on the false positive in Wordfence after Enfold 4.0.x update and this issue, perhaps a closer relationship between Kriesi and Wordfence should be established and more thorough tests with Wordfence plugin should be done before updated version release. 8-)

Hi Stevo: I updated Wordfence also this morning, there were no issues other than the warning that Layer Slider needed an update. I also use the Enfold Theme.

Wordpress also has a dot for Plugins showing on the left hand column.
You are right, the Layer Slider does not appear in the Plugins sections ( I don’t know why it doesn’t)
so no one can update it.
LayerSlider Support Forum shows even their paid customers are having difficulty trying to update the Layer Sldier Plugin, so its not just us who have, the plugin coded into the Enfold theme – with no way of updating it.
That’s all I got so far. We’re hanging on waiting for Kreisi to updated the Layer Slider Plugin which I believe he is working on right now. Thanks for your input.

Thank you Yigit – that is the most sensible answer I’ve received yet. There should be an “Options Button” on the demo content installs which could have avoided this problem, this is a suggestion. I am not a coder, so I don’t want to mess with php, (as probably 90% of Kriesi customers) so it would be better to offer it as an option, not a coded part of the theme. That is all I am saying.

As far as the alerts from Wordfence Security Plugin, I am glad they alert us to issues with Updates, its part of good security practices to Update WordPress, Plugins and Themes as soon as they are available.
Let’s hope the update comes soon.
