    Hi,

    I have used WP Downgrader to downgrade WP from 5.5 to 5.4.2.

    I have used Wordfence to do a scan and it found about 80 unknown files in WP core folders (wp-admin and wp-includes). The list of the files names is given below.

    Could you please confirm they are WP 5.5 core files? If so, perhaps there should be an update to Wordfence to give more suitable scan results and warnings.

    Many thanks.

    List of file names found in wp-admin and wp-includes and considered unknown by Wordfence:

    Hi @tettt

    You can download both versions of WordPress here:

    https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/download/releases/

    You can use the VIEW FILE and VIEW CHANGES buttons in each scan result and check the code against the files in the downloads above.

    If you have files for multiple versions of WordPress in your WordPress file system then its likely the WP Downgrader process didn’t work properly.

    Hi @tettt

    If you haven’t asked the WP Downgrader plugin authors for assistance then you can also ask for help here in the Fixing WordPress forum:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

    Hi

    I’m exactly having the same problem, downgraded from 5.5 to 5.4 and now wordfence is telling me I got 80 suspicious files.

    Downloaded both wordpress versions, didn’t understand properly.

    @wfphil would you please elaborate a little what to look for?

    Thanks in advance.

    (@wfphil)

    Hi @uvhost

    You may not have the exact same problem as I don’t know what you are seeing when you say 80 “suspicious” files.

    You can use the VIEW FILE and VIEW DIFFERENCES button in each scan result and check the file and code against both of your WordPress downloads to determine if you only have multiple files present for two different versions of WordPress.

    If that is the case that you only have scan results for multiple files for two different versions of WordPress in your WordPress file system then you can ask for assistance here:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

    If you are using the same “WP Downgrader” plugin that the owner of this topic is using then you can ask the “WP Downgrader” plugin authors for assistance if they have broken your WordPress installation.
