    Every time I try to add exclusions to the site check file exclusion list, I get “A validation function for file-change received data that has an entry for email when no such entry exists.”
    Any ideas?

    No. Please respond if you do solve it though ??

    Hi both,

    I’m willing to give it a go…

    First let’s enable an extra Debug menu option by adding the line below to the wp-config.php file:

    define('ITSEC_DEBUG', true);

    This should add an extra Debug menu item under the Security menu option.

    Navigate to Security > Debug.

    Under the Settings section select file-change and then click on the Load button.

    There should be 5 entries displayed which more or less look like below (Data types: 2 arrays, 1 object, 1 integer and a boolean):

    {
    "file_list": [],
    "types": [],
    "expected_hashes": {},
    "last_scan": 0,
    "compare_file_hashes": true
    }

    For visual aid I’ve intentionally left out (full) values for the first 3 entries.

    If, by any chance there is an “email” entry (or any other unmatching) entries, try and remove those “entry”: value, combinations. Once removed click on the Save button.

    Do the above at your own risk (preferably after making sure there is a recent database backup available).

    Good luck!
