    Hi, I have 5 frontend mallware issues found on the latest scan to pages that do not exist. Not only that but they are in a folder that does not exist. This is an example. https://parklaposada.com/plp/?page_id=171 When I click on view code, I get “file text empty contact support”

    From what I can see, there is no option to delete the record. I have cleared the cache at website and server level. It seems strange I can only approve a page that does not exist to make the record go away, and of course i do not want to do that.

    Note: The plp folder was used on the old host and not the new, so no idea when the scan is finding anything that is /plp. I have checked htaccess and wpconfig and all seems OK. I have deleted all plugins and reinstalled. It seems the records just need deleting as they are not a threat.

    Kind regards

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @costaman16

    We would like to inform you that the Frontend Malware Scanner is a deprecated feature and will be removed from the plugin in the near future. To avoid any further confusion, we recommend disabling it in the plugin settings. You can find this option under the Malware Scanner section in the Security settings.

    Regarding the reports of pages that do not exist: the Frontend Scanner checks your website’s database, and it is likely that records of these pages still remain there. You can safely approve them for now. Additionally, once you disable the deprecated option mentioned above, these results will no longer appear in your Malware Scanner reports.
