    Hi,

    For the last week I have been receiving this message:

    iThemes Security has noticed a change to some files in your WordPress site. Please review the logs to make sure your system has not been compromised.

    My log changes are of this sort: wp-content/cache/supercache/www.my site, and they occur at the same time each day. However,if the changes were as a result of caching, why are the alerts showing?

    I contacted my hosting company who told me that there is no malicious content on my site, meaning that it is not a hacker. Does anyone know why this alert would be showing?

    Thanks

  • You should exclude the wp-content/cache folder from the FCD scan using the FCD Files and Folders List setting.

    If the above info helps you solve the issue please mark this topic as ‘resolved’.

    Thank you Dwinden, I’ve done that. But I don’t understand why the Dashboard warning has just started appearing when these file changes have been going on for months.

    The Dashboard warning is only displayed when doing a manual FCD scan (Manual FCD scan = Click on the blue Scan Files Now button).

    Scheduled FCD scans won’t display the alert.

    It seems to me this topic can be marked as ‘resolved’.
