ClassicPress Support

    I’m experimenting with ClassicPress (looks very promising), but Wordfence scans identify 846 core files that have been changed or added. Some examples:

    Scan wp-admin and wp-includes for files not bundled with WordPress:
    Unknown file in WordPress core: wp-includes/images/classicpress-logo-dashicon-style.svg
    Unknown file in WordPress core: wp-includes/images/ClassicPress-icon-blue-1600.png

    Scan core files against repository versions for changes: (partial list, total number for files 844)
    WordPress core file modified: wp-mail.php?
    WordPress core file modified: wp-includes/wp-diff.php?
    WordPress core file modified: wp-links-opml.php?
    WordPress core file modified: wp-includes/widgets.php

    Please add support for ClassicPress.

    I have the same issues. I am letting the folks at ClassicPress know, and honestly trying to change these alerts as known will literally take weeks with 861 alerts.
    WordFence is pretty much useless with ClassicPress with all the false positives,

    Their input was:

    After installing ClassicPress, uncheck this option: “Scan Options → General Options → Scan core files against repository versions for changes“. There will also be a few more errors if you have the “Scan wp-admin and wp-includes for files not bundled with WordPress” option enabled, because ClassicPress has added new files. Currently this is normal and expected.

    The problem is that the “Scan core against repository versions” is no where to be found. Where is it?

    @affordablewebsitesdenvercom You should be able to find it under:
    WordFence > All Options > Scan Options > General Options

    It’s not ideal to disable this, and this is why I think Wordfence should support ClassicPress, so we don’t need to disable it.

    Maybe I need more caffeine but I looked for it and could not find it. I’ll try again. I would like them to support CP as well. Don’t know what they need in order to consider it.

    Did you just leave the 860 or so alerts or run a new scan to remove them?

    I ran a new scan with the 2 settings disabled, after reviewing the 846 alerts to satisfy myself they were all ClassicPress related.

    Hi @raygulick and @senlin,

    I’ll see what the team can do!

    There’s another topic that is also requesting for ClassicPress’ support:

    Hope to keep you guys updated!

    So far I have not seen a definitive response from WordFence. I’m sure they’re very busy dealing with Gutenberg bugs and fixes, and other issues. As far as I know so far WordFence works fairly well with ClassicPress (as it should since ClassicPress is just a fork of 4.9) but some changes need to be made to the settings so you don’t get 800 or so error messages. The changes WordFence needs to make on their side of things impact 2 settings primarily.

    I’m also moving many older client sites over to ClassicPress out of necessity, as Gutenberg does not seem to have any backward compatibility for older sites.
