Update for LayerSlider notification

Hey DFME,

Can you try the solution posted in here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-causes-wrong-update-markers/#post-1132470
Hope it helps.

Hi Mike,

Can you try adding this php code in your child theme’s functions.php:

function remove_ls_update_notification() {
	return 'no';
}

add_filter('avf_show_layerslider_update_notification', 'remove_ls_update_notification');

Hope it helps.

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi DFME,

I have tested the code I gave and it worked on my end.
Please post us your login credentials (in the “private data” field), so we can take a look at your backend.

1. Install and activate ” Temporary Login Without Password “.
2. Go to ” Users > Temporary Logins ” on the left-side menu.
3. Click ” Create New “.
4. Add the email address for the account ( you can use (Email address hidden if logged out) ), as well as the ” Role ” making that the highest possible and the expiry about four days
   ( do be sure that we have enough time to debug ).
5. Click ” Submit “.
6. You’ll now have a temporary account. Please provide us here in the private section the URL, so we can login and help you out.

When your issue is fixed, you can always remove the plugin!
If you prefer to not use the plugin, you can manually create an admin user and post the login credentials in the “private data” field.

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi DFME,

Thanks for giving us access, it seems clean looking at the Updates panel or in the Plugins page, I was expecting it to look like this: https://imgur.com/1ruXHdz
Can you give us an instruction on how we can see it or maybe a screenshot of the update notification?

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi DFME,

Thanks for doing that, I could see the update notifications but since theme editor is disabled, we could not inspect the code.
Did you add the code in functions.php in the Enfold theme? can you create a staging site and give us ftp access to it? so we can try to tweak some files.

Best regards,

Hi DFME and Guenni007,

I apologize for my mistake, the problem with it is the value we put inside $value->response (associative array) does not match which results to it returning null value and does not unset anything.
I have tweaked the original code and it seems to work properly:

add_filter('site_transient_update_plugins', 'av_remove_ls_update_notification');
function av_remove_ls_update_notification($value) {
	if( $value ) {

		$layerslider = str_replace( '\\', '/', get_template_directory() . '/config-layerslider/LayerSlider/layerslider.php' );
	
		if( $layerslider[0] === '/') {
			$layerslider = substr( $layerslider, 1 );
		}

		unset( $value->response[$layerslider] );
		return $value;
	}  
}

Here’s the screenshot in the staging site: https://imgur.com/uD6Hjtw

@Guenni007 can you check if this works on your end as well?

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi Mike,

You’re welcome and thanks for confirming, will report this bug and the temporary fix to our devs. :)

Hi DFME,

The code I gave uses a hook and not directly on the core file so it would be safe to use it even after the update.
The fix that would most likely be implemented in the next version of Enfold would be: https://github.com/KriesiMedia/enfold-library/blob/master/temp_fixes/Enfold_4_6_3/layerslider/config.php
