Defender Error

Hi @jholm22804,

Thank you for contacting us.

Could you please confirm which PHP version your site is currently running on?

Best,

Hi Jonathan,
Current PHP is 7.3.27. Hope this helps.

Hi @jholm22804

Thank you for the information.

Can you confirm if the headers are configured in the Defender > Advanced Tools > Headers, I checked my website using the Query Monitor but couldn’t see similar logs.

Best Regards
Patrick Freitas

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for reply.
The security headers are all on, but I do not mask the login area.
The errors only appear on the Dashboard and recommendations tabs.
The error does not appear so far to affect the performance of Defender.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Hi @jholm22804,

We have reported this to our Defender teams attention in order to ensure the mentioned warnings could be fixed in the next release.

However, as you have stated this shouldn’t affect the workflow of your website nor the performance of the plugins in any way.

Please do check whether you have debug mode enabled, ie check whether you have the following line of code added inside the wp-config.php file:
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

If yes, changing the above line to the following should help with disabling debug mode, which should, in turn, remove the logs from the dashboard:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

Switching to PHP v 7.1 should also help with resolving the above warning too. I hope this helps, please do let us know if you have any further query.

Kind Regards,
Nithin

Hi @jholm22804

I hope you are doing well and safe!

We haven’t heard from you in a while, I’ll mark this thread as resolved.

Feel free to let us know if you have any additional question or problem.

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for reply.
Sorry for the delay of my reply due to current workload.
The errors still appear on the Dashboard and recommendations tabs.
I have updated the wp config file as requested to: define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
The site is hosted by Siteground who update the PHP version automatically as soon as a new stable version is available. Current PHP version 7.3.27
In addition, I am unable to update the Security Recommendations
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Hi @jholm22804

I hope you are doing well.

Our developers are working to fix it, would be possible to send some information?

- Please, check if you still have the issue.

If so,

- Go to Defender > Settings > Preset Configs page

- Click on Save New button

- Add the name of the config and Save

- Click on Download for this new config

Upload the configuration in Google drive and share the link.

Hi @jholm22804

Could you please try to import this setting and remove the old one to check if the issue is gone?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/40epblpja8e0q49/wp-defender-config-jmConfig090521-updated.json?dl=0

Let us know the result you got.

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for reply. I have imported the setting and yes the issue is now gone. I was also able to apply the 4 outstanding Security Recommendations. Great work. Thank you. Interested to know what was wrong. But if you do not have the time I understand. I’m happy for now.
Kind regards

HI @jholm22804

The issue was the config file had a broken structure, so our developers added some extra check to prevent the problem.
