    Just signed up for GoDaddy’s “Managed” WordPress hosting, installed my theme and then today, installed Wordfence. I love this plugin and am using it on several other regular GoDaddy (non-“Managed”) WP sites.

    After the Wordfence installation today, a while later I got this alert:

    Wordfence found the following new issues on “website name”.

    Alert generated at Saturday 7th of February 2015 at 06:52:48 PM

    Critical Problems:

    * WordPress core file modified: wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php

    * WordPress core file modified: wp-includes/version.php

    This is a new one that I haven’t seen. Could it be related to the GoDaddy “Managed” WP hosting and should I be concerned? Thanks.

    Don’t know if you’re still wondering but If I had to guess I’d guess it is the managed hosting because I got the same issue on the same two files when I migrated a site to GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress.
