 * Hi,
 * I just run a scan using Wordfence on a client site and it found eval(base64_decode(‘…..
   
   in the advanced-post-types-order/include/licence.php file.
 * Since this is the kind of code used by hackers, why is this used in this file
   and is this your code?
 * Thanks
 * Philippe

 * Hi Philippe,
    There’s nothing to worry about, is just a way to protect our code.
   In fact you can echo the base64_decode(..) to see the exact code. This will be
   removed in the next release (V3.0 major update, which also allow sorting for 
   custom queries including multiple post types, taxonomies at once etc)
 * Thank you,
    Dan

 * Hi,
 * The Base 64 **encoding** is used for many thing, the most notable of which being
   emails…
 * Any hacker who would rely on this to hack a server would be more in the script-
   kiddy category than a real hacker…
 * Essentially this converts binary data to non binary data for transmission using
   mediums which do not support binary data…
 * Have a nice day! / Bonne journée!

 * That’s true.
    We had removed Base64 usage from the code few months ago.
 * Thanks
