Hello, after update 1.72.0 the contact form doesnt work (wordpress 6.8.1, PHP 8.3.21) . Please check. New update nessescary? Thank you. Rainer https://hockelmann-augsburg.de/kontakt/

Hello, After the Ark 1.71 update, all forms of developed sites no longer work. Anyone has the same problem? Since the developer is no longer responding, does anyone have a solution please?

Latest update blocks in-line PHP elements from working. Looks like all the author did to address the security issue was add a check if you’re logged in as admin to allow eval() to run php.

if (current_user_can('delete_users')) {
        $result = eval($condition);
} else {
        throw new Exception('You are not an administrator.');
}

There has been a critical core vulnerability for nearly 2 months without any patches. https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/ark-core/ark-theme-core-1700-unauthenticated-remote-code-execution

Please advise.

Hello FreshFace. We have 38 ark licences and we are worried about the Fresh Framework core vulnerability. Please provide a patch or tell us you are working on it.

Hello,

All of a sudden,I encounter a “Fatal error” raised by the FreshFace framework which seems to be linked to a custom type created with ACF Pro. Part of the site is broken. The “contact the author” form leads to…. no answer ! Can you please get back to me on this ?

The vulnerability with the Fresh Framework core is a critical issue and a patch is needed urgently. https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/ark-core/vulnerability/wordpress-ark-theme-core-plugin-1-70-0-unauthenticated-remote-code-execution-rce-vulnerability?_s_id=cve

Hi! I’m having problems with the Ark Theme Core and Fresh Framework plugins, the website won’t load. I’ve already tried updating the template, plugins and deactivating other plugins. Only these two are causing problems and the website won’t display.

Hello guys,

a pre purchase question: I need to start a new project, and I’d really love to do it with Ark! Can I buy a new license, or is there a risk that this theme will no longer be supported soon after what recently happened?

Hi there, when trying to see the Live preview, an error occurs. It seems that it’s SSL related.

Hi, Ark Theme Core Plugin with wordpress 6.7 makes critical errorerror in editing pages… Could you give some instructions on what to do? Thank you

Ark developers, would be really nice to receive any info what’s going on at your side! Also – what exactly latest update includes except “Improved – PHP8+ warning messages” (this is not what most of us really wait in update after 10month)! Latest update messed up mini-cart: it does not open anymore on hover, need to fix this!

Really glad you’re back! I knew you would be unless something terrible happened to you. I hope all is well. It would be great to hear why Ark was pulled from Envato. But I’m a proud owner of 99 Ark licenses and I still think this is the best theme (particularly for developers) on Themeforest.

Hi Freshface, please reply to our emails and comments and explain why the theme was down for 3 months. Thank you.

@FRESHFACE

We customers are unsettled by the lack of communication from Freshface about the temporary take downs in the market.

Would you “please” provide more information about the current incidents and the future of the theme ?

Yours faithfully

Hi guys, I’m very happy to see you here again!!!

Oh nice, Freshface is alive again. I have received an update to version 1.70.0 .

Thanks to the Freshface Team !

What happened to the theme? Did it die?

3 months without knowing about FRESHFACE, no updates or support at all. It was several years of good development and now I don´t know what to do, upgrade 10+ sites to other builder?
