Scan: File changes not recognized

  • I have some modified files (ie: wordpress config sample, and theme files).
    WF reports them as modified, expected.
    I click “Ignore until the file changes”.
    Scan again, nothing is reported, expected.
    I modify files.
    Scan again, nothing is reported, unexpected. It should report the changed files, I think. Or do I misunderstand something?

  • Hi crispress,

    Yes, I think those files should be reported again as changed. I am going to try and recreate the error and get back to you with my findings.

    How much time are you allowing between changes?

    In my tests I did it all in minutes. Scan, modifiy, scan…
    I think time should be irrelevant? A changed file is a changed file, right?

    I just tried again in 6.3.2 and it still doesn’t alarm me of changed files which I have previously marked as ok.

    Also, the options have changed (I found no documentation for the new ones). The second option is now “Ignore missing file”, which confuses me, because the file isn’t missing. What does that option mean and do?

    When I have files modified myself, which is the right action to tell WF to ignore the issue, but only until the file changes again?
