    What happened?? Have 3 sites this morning reporting that there are over 2400 “Unknown” files after the last update. This issue did not exist pre-update as I reverted to a backup and disabled all cache and attempted the update again and same thing. This is outrageous.

  • same for me – across 6 wordpress websites post (after) the 6.7 Update – have also reported to Wordfence (Defiant)

    Hi @viablethought,

    Sorry that you’re having issues with the latest update. Let’s see if we can figure out what is happening.

    Could you share more context around these reports?

    • What is reporting the unknown files?
    • What is the full text of the notice?
    • Could you provide a list of the files?
    • Were the files exactly the same on all of the sites you experienced this on?

    1312 issues were omitted from this email due to length limits.

    Thats the condensed list. We’re currently going through all of our client’s sites that have not updated yet and applying define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, false ); to avoid this becoming an issue on over 200 website we maintain.

    Thanks for the list. Where do you find this list though? There’s no area in a default install that would show this, so trying to figure out where it’s coming from.

    I advise against using false for that constant long-term as you will no longer receive security updates and will be more at risk to attacks when those updates are analyzed by bad actors. minor is also accepted as a value.

    I’m seeing the same issue after updating 1 site from 6.6.2 -> 6.7.

    After updating, a WordFence scan is flagging WP core files as “Unknown file in WordPress core: [file path/name]”. I’m witnessing 2,312 unknown core files since updating.

    I looked at Wordfence because @pg-fun mentioned that above. It looks like this is a known issue in the plugin and not a problem in WordPress Core. The plugin does not contain a properly updated list to account for the file changes in the new version.

    Are you also using Wordfence @viablethought? And if so, are you seeing any problems with your site other than these warnings in Wordfence?

    @desrosj –

    We use Wordfence on all of our client’s sites, so that is who is reporting this. As far as the constant, we are well aware and we monitor our client’s sites daily. If this wasn’t such a nightmare, sure, I’d set it to “minor” but now I can’t afford to be dealing with something like this on every update and have to worry about it every single time. We’ll do our own updates moving forward.

    @viablethought Understood! I just wanted to make sure that the impact of using false for that constant was super clear in case someone else came across this support request.

    It’s still not clear to me what is breaking on these sites running 6.7. Without more information about that, there’s nothing WordPress Core can do because this is a problem with the Wordfence plugin not being properly prepared for the 6.7 update.

    @desrosj

    This has happened before a while ago but not to this magnitude where we went in and inspected the reported files and found that it was indeed a “false positive” but then manually had to go through each site and ignore the issues in Wordfence.

    I have reached out to WF at the link provided and will see what they say.

    I did also log with Wordfence – awaiting their feedback / update

    For info i Use Wordfence Premium on one of my WP Sites and the free version on the others – all are advising the same issues after a Wordfence Scan(s) of all my sites:

    Example of one of the scan(s) just one of a few thousand on each of my WP Sites

    High Severity Problems:
    * Unknown file in WordPress core: wp-admin/about.php

    which is of course a WP core file.

    It does suggest Wordfence hasnt yet “update”d for the WP 6.7 Update – not like them at all!!

    Thread Starter Jason Ryan

    (@viablethought)

    @pg-fun

    Agreed, at least not to this magnitude. Waiting to hear back from them as well.

    FYI – I just re-ran two WordFence scans on my site that originally reported 2,312 issues. On both subsequent scans, I am no longer receiving any “unknown file” issues.

    I’m using WordFence Security 8.0.0 (free version)

    Hello all –

    Ok, so I have found that if you are using the Free version of Wordfence, the “Rules” are only updated every 30 days – which means that this is completely out of sync with the release of WP 6.7.

    If you go to Wordfence -> All Options -> Advanced Firewall Options -> Manually Refresh Rules and then run a new Scan, this resolves the issue (tested one site thus far and seemed to do the trick).

    Wordfence changed this a bit ago where the rules are only updated once every 30 days – not sure this was a great idea on Wordfence’s part.

    @viablethought

    Thanks for that insight. I manually refreshed the WordFence rules on a 2nd site of mine and ran a WF scan after updating WordPress to 6.7. I did NOT run into any issues reported by WordFence. Seems the new WF rules made the difference. Gracias!

    Yes?

    Scan again with Wordfence and all should be fine !!

    If not scan a second time – but only if needed

    Wordfence support also suggested scan again.
