Regarding this XSS vulnerability that has been a problem for a long time ….

I thought it might be better to change theme so I have searched and tested a lot of different themes. But I have not found any other theme that has a plugin that is as good as Serious Theme Settings, not even in the paid PRO versions. I have tried OceanWP Pro and Astra Pro, but they are not even close to what Serious Theme Settings can do.

All of us have probably been using Serious Theme Settings for so long that we do not appreciate what it can do and just take it for granted.

The Serious Theme Settings plugin is actually so good that it should not be free, but rather it should cost money.

So if the problem with fixing the XSS vulnerability is the economy, then I and probably many other users are willing to pay for the Serious Theme Settings plugin.

With that said, I wish everyone a happy new year.

Hi Magnus,

Thank you for your support and for your kind words. They were exactly what was needed to push us out of the laziness chair and get some things done. So in the past 7 days all four of our legacy themes received updates to address the (highly talked but lowly graded) XSS vulnerability. And some social icons.

The settings plugin is just a workaround solution that re-enables functionality already available in the themes (before WordPress.org changed the functionality rules applied onto themes) so we never considered hiding existing functionality behind a paywall.

And unless the rules change entirely to ban non-block/non-FSE themes from the repository, we don’t intend to abandon our themes (except for Zombie Apocalypse… but that one was born already dead).
