Hey there,
I’d suggest running a scan. First, go to the Options page and set “scan images as executable” and “scan files outside your wordpress folder” enabled. Then run the scan. This may take a while and you may want to start so it runs overnight or during another slow traffic time for your site. Address any issues the scan finds (make a site backup first)
Also, make sure you remove any unneeded plugins from your site and update all themes.
This should get you started. Let me know what you find.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply.
I’ve enabled those two, and also I’ve enabled to scan the themes.
I’ve found a problem in the theme. It looks like this.
All themes are updated and I’m running with the minium plugins.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance. Have a great one!
Did you modify that theme or have a developer that modified the theme? If not, I’d recommend repairing the theme. Also, remove the files you found the wfcache folder. Monitor your site once it is in this state.

Thanks for your reply.
I didn’t modified the theme. I just installed from the WP themes directory.
I’ve removed the files.
Just checked again and the files are still there (after I deleted them).
Should I change the theme?
If you can remove the theme entirely, then yes, try that.
Hello,
I’ve removed the theme (Stargazer) and installed another one.
All seems to be working now. All is clean now.
Thanks.
Thanks for the follow-up. I’ll mark this as resolved.
