Modified BPS plugin file found by Wordfence
-
I have both Bulletproof Security .50.1 and Wordfence 5.0.4 installed. Although I attempted to use Wordfence’s new basic caching, after 5 days I still haven’t received a response from them about a warning I received when selecting that option, seen here.
A Wordfence scan this morning produced the following issue:

———————-I don’t know how to see a copy of the www.ads-software.com file to compare, but below is the revised copy in my file manager, since April 7, 2014. Please let me know if I am safe to restore the original WordPress version, of if I should ignore the issue…
