    Hello, I have recently purchased the LayerSliders and would like to use it for a new site i am creating on wordpress. For the wordpress site, i am using a front end builder (Elementor) to customise my site and would like to use LayerSliders to compliment my design. 

    However, while uploading the file to wordpress im prompted of a security issue (see attachment) and would like to seek help regarding this issue. I've uploaded the wordpress zip file as instructed in the guide.

    Hello karenlowjs,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us. My name is Attila and I'm happy to assist you today. I appreciate your patience while we've been working towards your ticket.

    We can assure you that there is no malware or other malicious code in LayerSlider.

    Some Javascript files in the plugin are compressed to lower file sizes and generate less traffic. This allows to load pages faster and remove unnecessary load from servers.

    This is a common technique among web developers. Unfortunately, it is often used to hide malicious code as well. This is why there are some false detections.
