    Please update the theme with Revolution Slider as a security issue has been detected. Please see the information that I receive from Sucuri today:

    We’re emailing you to alert you to a serious vulnerability in the WordPress Slider Revolution premium plugin. The developer behind the popular plugin patched the vulnerability silently, meaning that, if you are running WordPress Slider Revolution, you have probably not yet heard that you must update as soon as possible.

    This is a very serious vulnerability known as a Local File Inclusion (LFI) attack. It allows a user to retrieve data from files on your server. An example of such an attack would be pulling your WordPress wp-config.php file and using the credentials in that file to exploit your database and gain access to your website. If you use this plugin, please update immediately. If you’d like to learn more about the vulnerability, you can read about it on our blog.

    HELLO THERE EVA,

    I have the same request – Slider Revolution Plugin + WP Bakery update. I have added my staging site’s ftp access and wp-admin access in the private content area for your convenience.

    Please advise if you require anything else or if we can do our own updates using an API key or similar.

    Thank you in advance – Catie

    Hello @loudcow,

    I’ve updated Revolution Slider via wp-admin panel.
    Please check FTP details as we’re unable to connect to the server to update Visual Composer plugin:
    Error: Could not connect to server
