  • Hi there, “error_log” is not a WordPress core file. you should remove that from the directory. If you can then start a security scan. you can use wordfence plugin for that.

    Hi @sshahadatgsm,
    Thank you for the feedback! I have made a search on the server with an FTP client but
    failed to find “error_log” in the /wp-includes/ folder.

    Found 3 “error_log” in:
    /public_html/gymconstructor.com
    /public_html/gymconstructor.com/wp-admin
    /public_html/gymconstructor.com/wp-content/themes/oceanwp
    and cleaned them up.

    I have also installed Wordfence and ran a High Sensitivity scan which didn′t find any threats.

    I′ll submit a fix to the Google Search Console and see how it goes.
    Best,
    Anatoliy

    Okay, sure! if possible then feel free to share the updates here
