    Hi there,

    I work for UpdraftPlus and a user asked a question about WordFence and the .rnd file.
    They mentioned the .rnd file in root is flagged as a potential problem on their install.

    Do you have any intention of removing this warning as .rnd is used by many plugins?
    Thanks very much in advance for any helpful information you can provide on the topic.

    Best regards,

    Nick

    Hi @nrobertsudp, thanks for asking about this!

    I have had this come up once before and cited this at the time to provide a reason for the file being present:?https://updraftplus.com/forums/topic/wordfence-unknown-file-in-wordpress-core-wp-admin-rnd/

    I have (and would continue to) suggest that customers of both plugins can safely select “ignore” on this scan result for now. However, we are more than happy to work with plugin developers when required to discuss or assist with compatibility issues. You or another member of the UpdraftPlus team are welcome to contact us on genbiz @ wordfence . com to speak in more detail.

    Many thanks,
    Peter.

    Thank you very much for the prompt and very helpful reply!

    We’re aligned in the message we communicate to customers.
    Thank you for the contact details, I’ll pass them to a developer.

    Thanks again, I really appreciate you taking the time to help.

    No worries @nrobertsudp,

    I’ve spoken to the QA team briefly about our conversation yesterday and we should be expecting a message if one hasn’t already dropped in.

    Thanks again!
    Peter.
