 * I did a scan a couple of weeks ago and it picked up some issues…I think it was
   wp-config file code issues…so I restored to original file in wordfence. I suspect
   I am having issues again. I see some odd code in wp-config file but when I do
   wordfence scan it doesn’t find an error. Any suggestions?

 * Also any way to access the wordfence version prior to the latest release? I am
   not sure but the latest release might not be working for me.

 * Hi [@bethplummer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bethplummer/)
    Would be
   helpful if you can share this “odd code” in wp-config.php file by sending it 
   to “alaa [at] wordfence [dot] com”.
 * Why you think the latest version isn’t working for you? any other problem despite
   the possibility of not catching that odd code in wp-config.php?
 * In general, you can access “PREVIOUS VERSIONS” by visiting the “Advanced” plugin
   view from [here](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/advanced/).
 * Thanks.

 * Hi, I sent via email. I am just trying to trouble shoot as to why this happened.
   Thanks!

 * When you connect to your website via FTP/SFTP, can you see this file (/wp-content/
   themes/favicon_71c84e.ico)? because the code injected in wp-config.php seems 
   to be importing this file!
 * I highly recommend going through steps mentioned in “[How to Clean a Hacked WordPress Site using Wordfence](https://www.wordfence.com/docs/how-to-clean-a-hacked-wordpress-site-using-wordfence/)“,
   enabling “high sensitivity” scan and almost all the options under “[Scans to include](https://docs.wordfence.com/en/Wordfence_options#Scans_to_Include)”
   should help in detecting this file, if not, then please email this file to “samples[
   at] wordfence [dot] com”.
 * Thanks.
