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 you

The 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;"><do-not-reply@market.envato.com></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;"></td> <td style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;" bgcolor="#e0e7c2" width="20"></td> <td style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;" valign="middle" bgcolor="#e0e7c2" width="390">Download this update</td> <td style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;" bgcolor="#e0e7c2"></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

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

I also got the notification about theme update. So should I not pay attention to it?

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

We recommend you take the following steps to secure your sites immediately, after first backing up your WordPress site.</p> <h3 style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; line-height: 21px;"><span class="il">Visual</span> Composer Plugin Update Steps</h3> <ul style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> <li style="margin-left: 15px;">Log in to codecanyon.net and proceed to download the latest version of<span class="il">Visual</span> Composer to your computer from this URL:http://codecanyon.net/item/<wbr /><span class="il">visual</span>-composer-page-builder-<wbr />for-wordpress/242431 <li style="margin-left: 15px;">Locate and unzip the downloaded plugin file. <li style="margin-left: 15px;">Connect to your server using an FTP client and upload the js_composerdirectory (from the downloaded zip file) to the wp-content/plugins/directory. (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. After this period, you will need to access the latest version via your theme zip file.</p> <p style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Please note: This replaces the existing plugin under the licensing of the theme(s) you've purchased and is only licensed for use in these themes.</p> <h3 style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; line-height: 21px;">Your Security is Our Priority</h3> <p style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">We take security seriously at Envato. When we receive security vulnerability reports for items sold on our marketplaces, we work as quickly as possible to validate the report, investigate risk and determine the best course of action for the security of our community.</p> <p style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">On behalf of the plugin creator and Envato, we'd like to apologize for this inconvenience and assure you that security is and always will be our priority.</p> <p style="color: #525252; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Regards, The Envato Team</p>
