    I received the following error on my website.

    BPS Hidden Plugin Folder|Files (HPF) Alert
    An unrecognized/non-standard WP file was found in your /plugins/ folder. This file may be a hacker file or contain hacker code. If you recognize this file and/or it is safe to ignore this file you can ignore this file check by adding the file name in the Ignore Hidden Plugin Folders & Files textarea box option to make this Alert go away.

    Below is what the file contained:

    [04-Mar-2016 19:22:42 America/Detroit] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_action() in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/hello.php on line 60
    [14-Mar-2016 14:09:03 America/Detroit] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_action() in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/hello.php on line 60
    [14-Mar-2016 14:09:22 America/Detroit] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_action() in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/hello.php on line 60

    Is this something that I need to be concerned with? The text looks harmless to me.

    Thanks for your help!

    Forgot to add. This is the line of code the error above is referring to:

    // Now we set that function up to execute when the admin_notices action is called
    add_action( ‘admin_notices’, ‘hello_dolly’ );

    You can safely ignore the php error log file in your /plugins/ folder.

    1. Go to the Ignore Hidden Plugin Folders & Files textarea box.
    2. Paste this into the textarea box: error_log
    3. Click the Save Plugin Folder|Files Ignore Rules button.

    It looks like you need to use the wp_footer hook instead of the admin_notices hook: add_action('wp_footer', 'hello_dolly');
