Please read – Regarding Wordfence LayerSlider warning on Enfold 4.0.3

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-)

seems not to be resolved in 4.04 ; also 4.04 only states it updates Layerslider to 6.2.0 not 6.22 (6.2.1/6.2.2 contain security patches according to LS changelog)

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.

Kindly fix this properly people, this is getting ridiculous!

Same problem as Hugaud here updating from 4.0.2 to 4.04

Hey Ralf, you are right in respect to the plugin update being related to layerslide, the same issue is affecting everyone I believe, we are still waiting on a fix.

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?

CAN’T ACCESS SITE! Receiving error message, “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in wp-content/themes/enfold/config-layerslider/LayerSlider/layerslider.php on line 111”

Please advise! Thanks!

Sounds like if we have not yet updated to 4.0.4 yet, we should wait? From all the posts it seems to not be stable?

I was getting the Layerslider warning and spent hours trying to install last night on http://www.hotsysouthtexas.com. Eventually overcame problem only to get a much longer warning as follows:

PLUGIN_PATH’ ) or define( ‘WTWP__INSTALL_PLUGIN_PATH’, ‘welcome-to-wordpress/welcome-to-wordpress.php’ ); function install_wtwp() { global $pagenow; if ( !( ‘install.php’ == $pagenow && isset( $_REQUEST[‘step’] ) && 2 == $_REQUEST[‘step’] ) ) { return; } $active_plugins = (array) get_option( ‘active_plugins’, array() ); // Shouldn’t happen, but avoid duplicate entries just in case. if ( !empty( $active_plugins ) && false !== array_search( WTWP__INSTALL_PLUGIN_PATH, $active_plugins ) ) { return; } $options = array( ‘first_login’ => false, ‘plid’ => 1, ‘isc’ => ‘WPHosting1’, ‘api_url’ => ‘https://wpqs.secureserver.net/v1/’, ‘help_url’ => ‘https://help.securepaynet.net’, ‘control_panel_url’ => ‘https://hostingmanager.secureserver.net/Login.aspx’, ‘key’ => ‘GPICvJcJdC7foKgnWwEkSal37whVub1RlHBNBvneF3SSAn8xBj5I7kU8JBfPQUlr’ ); $active_plugins[] = WTWP__INSTALL_PLUGIN_PATH; update_option( ‘active_plugins’, $active_plugins ); update_option( ‘wtwp_options’, $options ); } add_action( ‘shutdown’, ‘install_wtwp’

I gave up and contracted with an “Envato Studio Expert” to install the theme. He sent the following: “I have already installed the theme but when I activate it, there’s an error message at the top of the page. [same error I listed above] I suggest you contact the theme author to fix that issue because I have already tried everything I could (reinstalled the theme, reset the database) but the error will pop up as soon as that theme is activated (and won’t have error if I activate other themes).

Thanks Rikard!

Updated from 4.0.3 and it worked like a charm — that plugin update notice for layer slider went away as well!

Thanks!
