Hello, I’ve the version 1.6 of the theme.

What about this problem? https://blog.sucuri.net/2015/04/security-advisory-xss-vulnerability-affecting-multiple-wordpress-plugins.html Is it unsafe/I MUST update to 1.7.1?

Hi, thanks for the reply!

Is there any way to patch this manually without updating the theme?

I don’t have a test environment at the moment so would prefer to avoid big updates.

Thanks.

A big update would be 1.6 -> 2.0. Going to 1.7.1 is not a big update. Given all of the security issues of late with WordPress and its related components, I can’t see why a minor update would be avoided. 1.7.1 took care of a portion of the speed problems with 1.7, enough that I’ve switched to it after noticing those speed issues immediately after upgrading to 1.7.

Save the useless band-aide – upgrade to 1.7.1 and ease your concerns.

Good Luck.
