Secure your keys dashboard message

    So weirdness abounds here:

    I had to manually download the plugin and upload it to my site because it was stuck on 1.46.2 and would not update tot he latest version (the one without the security flaw). After that there was now a message in the dashboard about adding security keys to the wp_config file. But unlike the dialogue box shown in the documentation, this one had no “add” button. Just told me to do it.
    We’re not using any payment gateways and I don’t think this message applies tot he usage case we have (a simple contact form) although we to have an integration with Mailchimp.

    Any assistance is appreciated.

    Hi @imkimc,

    Trust you are doing well, and thank you for reaching out to us.

    I had to manually download the plugin and upload it to my site because it was stuck on 1.46.2 and would not update tot he latest version

    Was there any error showing up when the update failed? If yes, can you please share the same? Please let us know if you observed the issue only while updating Forminator.

    After that there was now a message in the dashboard about adding security keys to the wp_config file.

    Since version 1.50, we added a more prominent notice that encourages users to define the FORMINATOR_ENCRYPTION_KEY constant because now all payment and integration keys are securely encrypted, reducing the risk of invalidated integrations when WordPress security keys change.

    Since you have an integration with Mailchimp, please define the FORMINATOR_ENCRYPTION_KEY constant to ensure the integration keys are securely encrypted.

    Please feel free to get back to us if you need any further clarification.

    Best Regards,
    Nebu John
