Unknown File in WordPress Core Found with scan

  • Hi! Today I had 6 notices from WordFence that are unknown files. Not sure what to do. I talked with GoDaddy and everything is fine on their end as far as they can tell. They directed me back to you. Here are the notices:

    Unknown file in WordPress core: wp-includes/theme-compat/comments-popup.php

    Unknown file in WordPress core: wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wpfullscreen/plugin.js

    Unknown file in WordPress core: wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wpfullscreen/plugin.min.js

    Unknown file in WordPress core: wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-mce-help.php

    Unknown file in WordPress core: wp-admin/js/wp-fullscreen.js

    Unknown file in WordPress core: wp-admin/js/wp-fullscreen.min.js

    The options that the warnings give me are to ignore or delete. I tried to delete but it wouldn’t let me. I have no idea what these are. I ran the WordFence scan 2 more times and I received the same ones again. I’m not extremely tech savvy, I just hope I wasn’t hacked. I’m not sure what to do. I have the free version of WordFence and am using Windows 7 and my site is https://girlfriendsguide2.com/. Thank you so much for your help!

  • Hi Tera,
    Looks like these files are just traces of an old WordPress version, you can safely ignore these notices or delete these files, however I’m not sure what happens when you try to delete any of these files from Wordfence scan page? maybe it’s a file permissions issue that doesn’t allow you to delete them. You can delete them via FTP though.

    Please check this reply for more details about this kind of notices.

    Thanks.
