 * I get notified of a file included in the auto_prepend_file and that I need to
   contact this forum if I don’t recognize the file mentioned.
    I looked for it,
   but it’s not a part of my file structure. Is it safe to move on or can anyone
   help me out on this? Or just override?
 * I am happy to provide more details in private mode.

 * Hey [@jramerman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jramerman/),
 * This was likely the creation of the `.user.ini` file which includes the `auto_prepend_file`.
   This is created during `Firewall Optimization`. It ensures that the code runs
   before all other code runs.

 * However, if you believe something might be wrong you can send the details to 
   [wftest@wordfence.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto_prepend_file-3/wftest@wordfence.com?output_format=md)
   and I can take a closer look. If you do, please include your WordPress.org username
   and a link to this ticket. Also, please update this thread in case we miss the
   email.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald
