This morning I received notification from Themeforest of a new WPLMS update (Update 1.8.1; download here). However, this update does not show in your update log at https://wplms.io/support/article-categories/update-log/. What's further confusing is that you're at WPLMS version 1.9.8 and the latest update's readme.txt file says it's update version 1.8.1. Can you please clarify and provide much-needed guidance in the readme.txt file? Thank youThe update was released yesterday, which only has the updated Visual Composer. We are currently on version 1.9.8. Seems like some confusion. Can you please share the text of the email received. Also make sure to mark it as private reply so that it can only be seen by support team.Here's the text from the email from Envato Market below. I had also received an email from ThemeForest about the WP Visual Composer issue with easy instructions on how to update the plugin. I recommend that VibeThemes provide clear, easy-to-follow instructions for each of your updates, etc. It makes it a lot easier for us noobe non-tech folks. :) ============================= <span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">From: </span><b class="gmail_sendername" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">Envato Market</b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"> </span><span dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><[email protected]></span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">Date: Thu, Oct 8, 2015 at 11:50 PM</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">Subject: [ThemeForest] Update available for 'WPLMS Learning Management System'</span> <table style="color: #424242; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" border="0" width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;"> <table border="0" width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;" width="560">Hi, An update to your purchase of WPLMS Learning Management System byVibeThemes is now available in your downloads.</td> <td style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;" width="20"></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;" width="600"></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table style="color: #424242; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" border="0" width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;"> <table border="0" width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;" width="20"></td> <td style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;">

Bummer- not sure why the previous reply turned up in html code. It didn't look that way when I pasted it.

<td style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;" bgcolor="#e0e7c2">Per Envato's recommendation, you definitely want to have this update. It's for Visual Composer plugin. Read below what Envato sent me: <p style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">We are getting in touch to let you know about multiple XSS security vulnerabilities in the <span class="il">Visual</span> Composer WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.7.4 (releases prior to October 2, 2015). This plugin was included in items you've purchased (listed below).</p> <p style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">We have been working with WP Bakery, the creators of <span class="il">Visual</span> Composer, who have addressed all identified vulnerabilities and undertaken a code audit to ensure that it is as secure as possible. Theme authors whose items include <span class="il">Visual</span> Composer have been instructed to make sure their items accommodate this upgrade. Items that include older versions of <span class="il">Visual</span> Composer will be disabled from the market until this change is made.</p> <h3 style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; line-height: 21px;">Affected Items</h3> <p style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Your items that include <span class="il">Visual</span> Composer:</p> <ul style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> <li style="margin-left: 15px;">WPLMS Learning Management System <h3 style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; line-height: 21px;">What You Should Do</h3> <p style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">In order to secure your item from these vulnerabilities we strongly encourage you to update to version 4.7.4 or later as soon as possible.

(Note: This will overwrite the old <span class="il">Visual</span> Composer files with the secure versions.) <li style="margin-left: 15px;">Log into WordPress and navigate to the Plugins page to confirm the <span class="il">Visual</span>Composer plugin is version 4.7.4 <p style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The link to the latest version, provided above, will be live for 3 weeks from the time this email was sent.

Not sure why the forum settings show all the html code. :( I am not sure how to make a clean copy. If you want me to forward this, let me and know your email and I will.
