Over 600 critical issues?
-
Hello,
I want to start by saying thank you for dedicating time for making this awesome plugin. This is the most perfectly made plugin I have used.
Since I installed the plugin and started the security scanner (quick scan) the results report every time over 600 critical issues. The interesting part is that during the whole scan the critical issues are around 3 and in the last second before the scan finishes the critical issues become over 600.
Almost all of the issues report that “The scanner recognizes this file as “ownerless” or “not bundled” because it does not belong to any known part of the website and should not be there.” and recommends deletion of the file. The problem is that there are many files like /wp-admin/themes.php, /wp-admin/customize.php, /wp-admin/edit.php or /wp-admin/media.php that the scanner recognizes as “ownerless” and I am afraid to delete most of them as I use them quite often.
I see that there is a recovery option and the deleted files can be recovered but I am afraid to delete 600 files. Also I am afraid that the recovery of over 600 files won’t be so quick and easy as the recovery is manual.
I don’t know is this normal. Should I delete all the files? It will take me over 30 minutes to select them all and most of them I have no idea what are for.
Thank you again!
