    Although i am having some issues with wordfence plugin, I decided that security is more important and reinstalled the plugin. Made a scan and the plugin sent me an alert about unknown files at wp includes : Could not delete file wp-includes/theme-compat/comments-popup.php. The error was: unlink(/home/content/p3pnexwpnas03_data03/06/2972006/html/wp-includes/theme-compat/comments-popup.php): Permission denied
    I could not fix this issue. Someone can give any insights about this? thanks

    Hi there!

    I tried to leave a comment on one of your sites, and got the error you mentioned. This is most likely caused by one of the 2 security plugins you use on your site, Better WP Security or WordFence.

    I’d suggest deactivating one of them first. You probably don’t need 2 security plugins on the same site. You can select the one you prefer based on the different options you’ve enabled in each plugin.

    Once you’ve deactivated and deleted the plugin you won’t be using, try leaving a comment again. If the issue still exists, check the remaining plugin’s options, and try turning each option off, one at a time, until you find what’s causing the issue.

    Let me know how it goes.

    I’d recommend that you get in touch with the WordFence team about this, as they’ll be more familiar with that error.

    Another alternative would be to reinstall WordPress from scratch, as your current installation seems to include files that were removed from WordPress a few versions again.
