Title: WordPress core file modified Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # WordPress core file modified * Resolved [danicolas07](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danicolas07/) * (@danicolas07) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-core-file-modified-2/) * Hi ! I have this message after each scan : * WordPress core file modified: wp-includes/version.php Filename: wp-includes/ version.php File type: Core Issue first detected: 1 hour 4 mins ago. Severity: Critical Status Ignoring this file until it changes This WordPress core file has been modified and differs from the original file distributed with this version of WordPress. * And it’s classify severity with a red X. * For me it seems to be there since i’ve upgraded Worpress from 3.9.1 to 3.9.2 I’m not 100% sure. I deleted the $wp_local_package = ‘fr_FR’; that is what is change in the version.php at line 37. But it comes back every scan. What can I do please? (I have the Premium license for two sites, but i don’t have this message on the other one). Thank you to take a look to my message. Have a nice day. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Thread Starter [danicolas07](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danicolas07/) * (@danicolas07) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-core-file-modified-2/#post-5203391) * Oh!

When you post to the Wordfence premium support, it would be a good idea to include the line(s) of code in the wp-includes/version.php file which the plugin says is not original. * Good luck! * Plugin Author [Mark Maunder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mmaunder/) * (@mmaunder) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-core-file-modified-2/#post-5203702) * Thanks for the help @Barnez, we did receive the support request from this customer and have responded.
