    Hi – I am running non-modified WordPress installations but they use the Spanish version which causes the checks to fail. Below is a sample from wp-includes/version.php so maybe you can have it check against the other language versions not just english. ??

    The Original Version of the file
    34 */
    35 $required_mysql_version = ‘5.0’;
    36

    The Modified Version on your WordPress system
    34 */
    35 $required_mysql_version = ‘5.0’;
    36
    37 $wp_local_package = ‘es_ES’;
    38

    Also, these are the files that get flagged as being modified but haven’t been – unless you count the translation into Spanish from English but this was done by the WordPress team.

    * WordPress core file modified: license.txt
    * WordPress core file modified: readme.html
    * WordPress core file modified: wp-admin/setup-config.php
    * WordPress core file modified: wp-config-sample.php
    * WordPress core file modified: wp-includes/version.php

    Hi,

    You can just tell Wordfence to ignore those changes in future scans.

    Regards,

    Mark.

    Hello,

    Wordfence warning: WordPress core file modified: wp-includes/version.php

    Im running french wordpress, could it be the same situation here? I really like this program, its great… and easy to use, once i will have figured out how to properly manage those warnings.

    thanks for your help
    Mona

    Mona,

    I believe that is correct. Same situation.

    Thanks Tim ??

    Hi Tim,
    I ran wordfence scan and it gave this error

    WordPress core file modified: wp-config-sample.php

    Is it safe to ignore this in future scans too ? And what does this exactly mean ? Hope not something serious …
    Thanks

    Resolved. Its nothing serious

    I’m getting these alerts too. Mine is in English(America). How to i get to “manage settings” in wordfence, and how do i de-activate this alert?
