Wordfence reports 103 leftover wordpress core files

Hi DavidMWright,

I think you using IONOS hosting.

I got the same warning message from Wordfence 1 month ago.

They were false positive.

IONOS used this .ini files for raising the PHP memory, upload limits and some cache.

All PHP.ini includes the same content.

safe_mode=false;
upload_max_filesize=67108864;
post_max_size=67108864;
memory_limit=268435456;
extension_dir=/usr/lib/php7.0/extensions;
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php7.0/extensions/opcache.so;
opcache.enable=1;
opcache.memory_consumption=32;
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8;
opcache.max_accelerated_files=3000;
opcache.revalidate_freq=180;
opcache.fast_shutdown=0;
opcache.enable_cli=0;
opcache.revalidate_path=0;
opcache.validate_timestamps=2;
opcache.max_file_size=0;
opcache.file_cache=/kunden/homepages/39/d768491211/htdocs/.opcache;

Hey @davidmwright,

This is likely a false positive. who are you hosting with? As was mentioned come hosts add these files, and since they aren’t Standard Wordfence files they’ll be flagged. But it’s just fine to ignore them.

Thanks,

As tfrank77 rightly assumed, I’m with IONOS. Thanks for the reassurance.
