Old WordPress Core File Not Removed During Update

Not sure if it’s a false positive or not, but I have the same issue on 38 sites that I just updated to 6.6. Different hosts as well. It’s either an issue with the WordPress update or Wordfence is flagging them in error.

Similar problem on all my sites. Looks like this is a bug. It cannot be that there is a problem on all sites, on different hostings, at the same time.

All,

It appears the previous link (screenshot) expired, so here it is again: https://ibb.co/CtfLcc8

Cheers!

Same issue for me.. For now I’ve updated only one site running Wordfence to 6.6..

It’s not a false positive refer to this post: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/61665

Hey @newmediologo,

Great find. Since the issue is being caused by the WordPress 6.6 update, we’re closing this topic as “Resolved.” Most likely, WordPress will soon issue a patch to fix this issue.

Thank you!
