    I have been ripping my hair trying to hunt down: [ wp-admin/LOG_FILE ] which got flagged on a client’s site in WordPress Integrity as “not an official WordPress file” But this file does not seem to exist (or is visible) in either FTP access or the Hosting Provider’s (iPage) File Manager tool.

    On a different thread I read a similar situation was a bug? Am I looking for a ghost?

    I searched online and could only find these references:

    For what I can read there, the file is benign.

    You can select it and “mark as fixed” using the actions available at the bottom of the “WordPress Integrity” report. The scanner will ignore this file on future scans.

    If you really want to get rid of it, I recommend you to use a “file watcher” to monitor that directory to see when and how the file is created/modified/deleted. This will give you enough information to determine both its purpose and how it turns invisible when you inspect the directory via FTP or with a File Manager.

    Let me know if you need more information.
