[resolved] WordPress antivirus plugin (6 posts)

    So I installed this plugin that tells there may be a threat on my wordpress blog.
    It says there is a problem in my theme and it highlights the one key word that it recognizes as a potential problem.
    So I tested what would happen if I remove the word and it removed my columns.
    I don't know if this a threat or not and I don't know how to confirm it.

    that plugin throws a huge amount of false positives
    unless you know code, it doesn't help you much

    what word(s) did it highlight?
