WordThumb Vulnerability Fix
A new exploit that affects WordThumb (the img.php script that we use in our themes) was disclosed today.
First, we want to put emphasis on the fact that the alleged vulnerability is not true for Themify themes, since there are a number of factors that would have to be set plus a few modules enabled in your server for the exploit to become a viable one. Basically, you were never in danger.
To be cautious, we have taken immediate actions to remove all the code that, under the most pessimistic assumption, could lead to an exploit and have released an update. All Themify users are recommended to upgrade the themes.
You can read the changelog here, which includes some technical details.

Eva Soßnitza – Themify helped me with Multilingual
In the second post of our 'Customer Stories' series, Eva Soßnitza, a German fashion designer, shares with us how she created her websites in multiple languages thanks to Themify support.
Hello, I am Eva Soßnitza, founder of E.so.za, a fashion label for fascinators, headpieces, hats and bridal accessories. I am also a dressmaker and a self trained milliner but I rather look upon myself as a fibre artist as I use old and forgotten crafting techniques to make small and unique single pieces instead of large productions.
I am a one person entrepreneur so I design and craft all of my own products as well as take care of the business. My working day is filled with many different tasks, ranging from designing and developing new products, making them, taking professional pictures, writing product descriptions in multiple languages, marketing and distribution.
New Free Plugin: Conditional Menus
Two days ago, we've released the Announcement Bar plugin and introduced the new Master Club. Today we have an awesome freebie for you!
Please say hello to our first free plugin - Conditional Menus.
As the title says, Conditional Menus is a simple WordPress plugin which allows you to swap or disable the menus in the theme as per specific conditions. This means you can create different menus in different posts, pages, categories, archive pages, etc. It is super easy to use. You would create the menus as usual in WordPress Admin > Appearance > Menus, then add the menu conditions in Manage Locations tab, and the menus on the frontend will swap according to the specified conditions.
