    Hi @devansh1995

    What is “Lac” please?

    I would like to have a look at your Wordfence diagnostics report. Please go to the top of the “Diagnostics” tab on the Wordfence “Tools” page. There will be a “SEND REPORT BY EMAIL” button to send the diagnostics report. Enter wftest [at] wordfence [dot] com as the email and devansh1995 as the forum username please.

    Once you have emailed me the diagnostics report can you reply here to let me know that it has been sent. This is important in the unlikely event that your installation of WordPress is having an issue with sending mail.

    Hi @devansh1995

    I see the the wfknownfilelist table has 185,789 rows.

    I see that you have 43 plugins and 2 themes installed. The file count would also include any other files in your hosting account being scanned such as in the wp-content directory.

    The wfknownfilelist table is cleared when a new scan is run.

    You can use the command below on the command line interface on your server to do a recursive file count under the public_html directory to see if the file count matches the wfknownfilelist table row count:

    find /home/XXXX/public_html -type f | wc -l

    Note that I have redacted the PHP process owner and replaced it with XXXX
