    • File appears to be malicious or unsafe: wp-content/themes/uncode/core/plugins_activation/init.php

    I delete that file and got critical error on website. Cant access directly to the hosting operator right now.
    It was indeed the file a problem or just need to be there even if it was the cause of my site loading slower?

    You are asking about commercial theme. There is no init.php it “uncode-lite” theme hosted by WordPress.org.

    You can use another theme than “uncode” if you dont trust its code, otherwise – consider contacting theme support.
    In case you got the theme archive from untrusted source, its likely to be malicious.

    hi Yui(@fierevere)
    no the problem i have is, the critical error bcs i deleted that init.php, that is from the theme; soo i found online this solution but idk if is ok to do: From Aruba FTP/file manager Go to: /wp-content/themes/your-theme/ then i open: functions.php find any line that is called init.php, such as: require_once get_template_directory() . ‘/init.php’; And comment it out: // require_once get_template_directory() . ‘/init.php’; Save → reload the site
    but if i deleted the init.php it shouldn’t be there or im wrong?

    It will skip loading that file, however, there can be missing functions that will cause your site crash randomly or instantly.
    It is strongly advised to get a supported theme from trusted source than hack on commercial theme.
