Same Wordfence error every day

Hi – thanks for the message.

I can see why WordFence would think that file is a problem. It’s a list of possible spam words. However it’s nothing to worry about.

I will ask WordFence if there’s any way to whitelist it, but there would be no problem with you ignoring that file.

Thanks – Ben

Thanks!

Hi Lise

Ben reached out to us about this. Unfortunately, the reason the scanner is flagging that file is because the things Ben is searching for using it are spam words. Whitelisting any file is something we avoid so the best way to address this would be for you to look at the scan result on the Scan page, select the Ignore option, then when the submenu expands below that choose Ignore Until File Changes. That means that if a file gets changed as part of a compromise you’ll be alerted. If not, it should be skipped going forward. You could also choose always ignore as a text file isn’t usually a target for hackers.

I hope this helps.
