Didn’t know if their updates would have any affect on your themes I use. Just wanted you to know as an FYI. Here’s their message:

Hello,

Please read this email carefully as it contains actions items that need immediate attention from you.

As we continue to increase the security of our network, it has become necessary for us to force the upgrades of many scripts. Many of these outdated scripts create vulnerabilities that can be avoided.

Beginning on May 30, 2018, we will begin the process of updating all scripts on our shared server environment. Any scripts that were installed using Softaculous will naturally be updated. Any scripts that were installed manually will be imported into Softaculous and managed through that interface.

What does this mean for you? You will want to make sure you have backups of your site’s files, content and database. These backups should be downloaded and stored locally on your machine. Please do not store them on the server. Once your server is ready for updates, you will receive another email letting you know. We do not have a specific timeline for when your account will be updated.

Due to the nature of the updates that are needed, there will be no extensions granted. If you are unable to, or forget to create your own backups, our system does keep backups for 3-5 calendar days. Please understand that we will not restore your account to any date prior to the updates made. Any accessible backups will be zipped up and made available to you to download locally. We will not allow any rollbacks or restores to previous versions of the scripts you are using. These backups can be accessed through our Managed Shared Hosting program if you need them.

Should you need assistance in creating backups of your account, please email us at [email protected] with the subject: Need Assistance Creating Backups of My Account, or call us Mon-Fri 7:00am to 5:00pm Pacific time. We will be happy to help.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Regards,
Lunarpages System Administration Team
