Wordfence has flagged Console Logs

    My Site Reviews installation (Version 6.9.5) has four console logs in the wp-content/uploads/site-reviews/logs file folder. Two of them are empty. (0 file size) The other two are filled with ads for pharmaceuticals, links to sites in Russia, etc. Wordfence is flagging one of them as a “critical” problem and wants me to delete the file.

    The two empty console logs are dated today (the date of the most recent update) and 12/3/20. The two “spammy” console logs are dated 6/18/23 and 12/13/21. WordFence has only flagged the file from 12/13/21 as a problem although the 6/18/23 file has the same sort of content.

    What are these files? Are they your spam filters?

    Hi @mperry8304

    When Site Reviews catches a spam review, the review is blocked and the values are logged in the Site Reviews console so you can review the details (i.e. so you can see which IP address to block or which words might be useful to add to the blacklist, etc.).

    To clear the Console, go to the Site Reviews > Tools > Console page and click the “Clear” button.

    If you don’t want the console to log spam review values, change the Log Level on the Console page from “Level 0: Debugging” to “Level 1: Informational”.

    Also, the log files in the /wp-content/uploads/site-reviews/logs/ directory are plain-text files and are safe to delete. If the log file does not exist then Site Reviews will recreate it.

    Thanks so much for the quick response. I deleted the files and Wordfence is happy again. I am too. ??
