Menu Disappears After Upgrade to Joomla 3.8

Sep
19,
2017


If you've recently updated your Joomla site to version 3.8 you will notice that your main menu has disappeared. There was a class name change that stopped our Vertex menu from working. We have updated our patch to fix this issue and all of our templates and site shapers also are now running the latest version of Vertex version 4.2. If you need the patch for your website simply reinstall the latest patch here and main menu will show up again:

S5 Media Player V2 Security Update

Apr
26,
2016


We have recently discovered a security vulnerability in our S5 Media Player V2 plugin that could potentially allow someone to download unintended files, including system files, through it's download feature which is intended for mp3 files. This affects all verions 2.2 and lower. The latest 2.3 version has been updated to fix this issue and can be downloaded at the link below. We do not use this plugin very often and is included in our Game World and Risen Hope site shapers; which have also been updated to the latest versions. If you are unsure if you use this plugin simply search for "S5 Media Player" in Joomla's Plugin Manager to verify.
