Hi @primozkosta,

The above link also includes mentions of “index.php” files. The “silence is golden” contents are reflective of WordPress’ own index.php files that appear in locations such as /wp-content, /plugins, and /themes folders. These are to prevent the directory structure and contained files accidentally becoming readable in the browser.

Whilst the contents of the files aren’t a concern, they shouldn’t be in the folders you’re showing by default. They may have been put there by another plugin you have installed to “hide” folder contents but this isn’t usual good practice. You can choose to ignore them if you now know how they were placed or choose to have Wordfence remove them. Before getting Wordfence to repair or remove anything, it’s good practice to take a full site backup beforehand.

Thanks,
Peter.

Hi @primozkosta, no worries and happy to help!

I can’t confirm for sure which plugin may have added them, but as the contents weren’t malicious and the usual purpose of index files like this is known, that was a possible conclusion as to where they’ve come from.

Thanks,
Peter.
