Core integrity check – false positive in German version

    It is a dilemma.

    In the German version of WordPress (and obviousely in any other non-english version) wp-config-sample.php brings a “modified” message and therefore an email.

    I guess this is because of the german comments in the file.

    If I mark that particular file as fixed, I understood it will never be checked again … this is kind of bad.

    If I restore the file content or delete the file, I will have the same issue with the next WordPress updsate.

    Is there a way to select the source of the WordPress installation (e.g. the German core files), which is used for comparison?

    Best regards

    The same btw applies to liesmich.html, the German readme.html

    You are right, there used to be an option in the plugin to use a specific locale to retrieve the file checksums from the official WordPress API [1] but it used to work only with the English version so we decided to delete that option and use “en_US” by default.

    I was going to reply to this ticket saying that there is no solution to the issue since the WordPress API only provides the checksums for the English installation, but I got curious and decided to take a look at the API one more time, and found that either they added support for more locales.

    I will add the option to configure the locale for the core integrity checks once again, and hopefully the changes will be merged in the master repository to be released with the next version of the plugin. I will update this ticket when I have fixed the issue, thanks for the report.

    Fixed with commit 5ca9a6c [1]; once the pull-request #8 [2] is merged with the rest of the code we will release a new version of the plugin so you can have the fixes too in your website. However, if you want/need the changes sooner you can install the development archive from here [3]. Thanks for your patience.
