 * I just got this from a wordfence scan, did you made this changes or should I 
   delete the file?
    This file may contain malicious executable code: /home/content/
   p3pnexwpnas07_data03/66/2553566/html/wp-content/themes/evolve/library/admin/redux-
   extensions/extensions/vendor_support/vendor/ace_editor/mode-php.js
 * Filename: wp-content/themes/evolve/library/admin/redux-extensions/extensions/
   vendor_support/vendor/ace_editor/mode-php.js
    File type: Not a core, theme or
   plugin file. Issue first detected: 27 mins ago. Severity: Critical Status New
 * This file is a PHP executable file and contains an eval() function and base64()
   decoding function on the same line. This is a common technique used by hackers
   to hide and execute code. If you know about this file you can choose to ignore
   it to exclude it from future scans.
 * Please help. Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * That file is needed and it’s safe, no need to delete anything.
 * Please read this thread for explanation. [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/urgent-wordfence-identified-one-of-the-theme-files-as-potential-malware?replies=7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/urgent-wordfence-identified-one-of-the-theme-files-as-potential-malware?replies=7)

 * Thanks Denzel,
    Of course now it makes sense. Seems Dovy has a huge point, about
   letting the Wordfence developers know about this, would you also recommend to
   do so? I think Wordfence and Redux are great plugins, will also continue using
   them.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Hi,
 * Yes, it makes sense for the Wordfence developer to try out Dovy’s suggestions.
   This will reduce false positives and less trouble for users.
 * Thanks!
