    Hi guys,

    I have a client, a very tech savvy client, who I want to use Enfold on a number of their websites.

    They say they will only allow a theme that passes the http://themecheck.org/ test…

    A lot of stuff comes up when Enfold gets tested. Is it possible you guys have a nice techy answer, that I can use on my client. It could be up to 20 theme purchases. Although I’m sure you guys are all billionaires by now!

    Best regards

    Iain

    Hey iainski!

    Enfold is a theme that already has a recognised theme base. Moreover, it has passed the rigorous approval process of the reputed Envato marketplace.

    We are positive you will find that 40,000 Envato customers are not wrong in chosing Enfold.

    Best regards,

    Hi Arvish

    Thanks for that! I’ve used Enfold many times and love it. My new client however is involved with medical companies, and insists the theme we use (quite a few times) passes that very annoying test. (themecheck.org)

    Is there anything other than quantity of sales I can try and use to get the client to accept Enfold. Security wise?

    Really appreciate any help, and understand you all have better things to do!

    All the best,
    Iain

    Hey!

    Only thing that I can tell you is that the theme checks performed by this website are extremely arbitrary. Every theme on themeforest has to pass the themecheck plugin that is mentioned on the website, but this website itself adds so many questionable rules that I cant imagine that any theme with more than basic functionality can pass.

    Eg: It throws errors for base64encoding data or iframes within the code. Those are necessary for data import/export and video embedding. The plugin checks for those functions because people who rip the theme and upload it for others on pirating sites often add their own code or backdoors using these methods. Thats obviously not what we do, yet the themecheck.org thinks, that because these functions are available in the theme, that it has been compromised, which is of course not the case. Thats pretty much true for all the security errors and warnings…

    What you get in the end is an endless list of false positives because the website labels a ton of perfectly valid functions and methods as “evil”, without the possibility to distinguish if its used to add malicious code or for genuine features…

    Cheers!

    Excellent Kriesi, thanks very much for taking the time. That is exactly the type of answer I needed.

    Hopefully that will get them to accept Enfold.

    Cheers,
    Iain
