Patch #1 Released for V2.4.3

Sep 13, 2018

NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL THIS PATCH ON A SERVER RUNNING PHP v5.5.x!!! Your web site will no longer run! PHP versions older than v5.6 are very obsolete and we will not support them in the next version release. The next version may also remove support for PHP v5.6 and v7.0 since they will have been considered obsolete by the start of 2019.

This patch addresses several issues for Bootstrap 4 and elFinder. All Exponent CMS users running at least PHP version 5.6 are encouraged to move their installations to v2.4.3 and to install this patch!!
