Forgot to add I then tested by trying “restored file to original” and did a scan again warning did not appear.

Hi Mark,

I had due to making changes to one of the theme PHP files and there was an indication of a change on a readme file from plugin long time ago (although it looked fine, just a line removed of text removed and version number changed when I compared changes).

I “unignored” the plugin readme file I had set using “ignore until file changes” and ran a scan again. Same thing occurred saying:

Comparing open source themes and comparing plugins www.ads-software.com originals highlighted red with “Problems found.”

But on scan completing it returning no issues.

——————-

On another website I have the Wordfence plugin on I just selected “ignore until file changes” on a php file I had edited. I ran a scan again and this time it also now shows:

Comparing open source themes against www.ads-software.com originals – Problems found.

Now looking like if you select “choose to ignore until file changes” it is still registering it as a problem, but it’s not if you know what I mean :).

Might be something to do with latest version, worked fine previously

Forgot to add I ticked the checkbox to remove all Wordfence data if the plugin is disabled. Reactivated it and problem still occurs both comparing theme and plugin is highlighted in red as a “Problem found” but on scan completing it highlights no new issues

Thanks for reply bcworkz

I’m crossing fingers your right and going to monitor the sites for a few days. I looked in the database and searched for common backdoor strings but nothing came up.

Also can’t see any added or changed files in the wordpress folders.

Unless… can somewhere else on the server be effecting the website? There are 8 other wordpress sites on my server, but again nothing obvious standing out (although I’ve not had a chance to check each folder or the databases)
