    Updated WP to the latest version yesterday. I don’t remember downloading the Twenty Twenty-One Theme so I’m thinking it came with the new WP version.
    Today Wordfence shows 4 changes to the theme. Not a programmer so don’t know if this indicates a problem or not. Messages and image of changes shown below:

    Filename: wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/footer.php
    Original
    ‘WordPress‘

    Modified
    ‘WordPress‘

    Filename: wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/image.php
    Original

    Filename: wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/template-parts/content/content-single.php
    Original
    </article><!– #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> –>
    Modified
    </article><!– #post-${ID} –>

    Filename: wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/template-parts/content/content.php
    Original
    </article><!– #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> –>
    Modified
    </article><!– #post-${ID} –>

    Appears to be either “Syntax” corrections or just streamline code but, like I said, I’m not a programmer so not sure. Downloaded version of 2021 is 1.0 and WordPress Site shows the same version so, why the difference?
    Thanks

    Sorry, that first message converted the pasted messages to links. Will try entering it again with quotes to see if it accepts it as text:

    Filename: wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/footer.php
    Original
    ” ‘WordPress‘”
    Modified
    ” ‘WordPress‘”

    Yes, Twenty Twenty-One is one of the bundled default Themes.

    Today Wordfence shows 4 changes to the theme.

    It’s likely wordfence. I recommend asking at wordfence plugin’s support .

    On first glance though, those are inconsequential changes which wouldn’t lead to anything malicious.

    I suspect they are just inconsistencies between Twenty Twenty-One 1.0 on GitHub and the final release of Twenty Twenty-One 1.0 here on www.remarpro.com.

    Thank you Mr. Huff,
    I’m going to ignore it for now and see if there is a minor update in the next day or so that corrects it. If not, I’ll probably just delete that theme since I don’t use it.
    Merry Christmas
