Thank you. I am still unable to save changes though. There is still a misspelling on the front end.

it isn’t resolved, but I have sent an email as was suggested.

Yes, I did use the unlock function. I tried it a bunch of times. Each time I receive the email with the link and when I go to that link it just goes to the unlock me screen where I am to enter my user name again. In addition, in Chrome, the Admin isn’t resolving at all with Defender active.

Thank you for your reply. What I notice when I have wp-control installed is that on the cron Events page, while Defender is active, the following error is displayed. When it is not active, there is no error:

There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This means WP-Cron events on your site may not work. The problem was:

Unexpected HTTP response code: 403

When I disabled Defender, all the cron jobs that were pending, cleared and now there are none that are not complete. I will see what happens with Defender running for a couple days.

It turns out that the theme is incompatible with PHP 8.0 and when I reverted to 7.4, everything works.

I do not have that option under settings > media. Any other ideas?

I completely removed the Widget Options plugin and still get the same security warning from ManageWP:

WordPress Social Media Widget Plugin <= 4.0 – Remote File Inclusion

Here is the information about the vulnerability: https://brightsec.com/blog/file-inclusion-vulnerabilities/#rfi

I disabled the Widget Options Plugin and ran the security scan again and it came up with the same error.
“WordPress Social Media Widget Plugin <= 4.0 – Remote File Inclusion”
The scan is being done by ManageWP that I believe is using WP Scan. When I click the learn more link, it goes to a 404 page, so I don’t know what to make of that.

Never mind. I see in another post that this is not possible. I will find another plugin.

It was, as you said a short code issue. For some reason the Profile shortcode number changed when I cloned the site.

Thanks.

Never mind, I figured it out.

Where do I find the profile shortcode? I did not change this short code and it worked before, but I will make sure it is correct. Just not able to find the code.

I encountered this same problem again, this time I didn’t make any changes in Defender, the salt was just added automatically to the WP-config which caused it to print on screen. I was able to remove it with no further problems. Here is the content of that file:

I am really worried that it is going to take my site down again. I guess I would rather leave it alone rather than take that risk.
