I’m in full agreement. This should have been core years back IMHO.
Good news is that the good people at iThemes Sync have recommended a fix for this incompatibility.
We’ll have a new version out to correct that soon.
As for WP Rocket. We do not have a version of that plugin to test with. I’ll ask the peeps at WP Rocket if they can loan us a demo or help provide code suggestions as well.

In reply to: been hackedHi,
First step, ask host to recover your site to an older backup.Once that is done, then do your best to ensure “all” is updated and “all” passwords related to your hosting account changed.
There is no instant solution. If the site cannot be recovered someone will need to visually dive in and work to fix all that was broken.
That is surprising.
We’ll run some tests and work to push out a fix soon.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Hacked Site needs RestorationThe only one who can restore is your host.
If you chose to not maintain backups, then the only folks you can ask is your web host respectively.

In reply to: My site is hackedHi,
Not really possible to know if your database has been hacked without “popping the hood” and doing a visual review.Recommend you first start by asking your host if they have a clean backup you can recover too. Once recovered then be sure to lock everything down, update all, etc.

In reply to: Googlebot cannot access CSS and JS filesYou can’t do much about external resources you don’t control.

In reply to: Googlebot cannot access CSS and JS filesMethinks Google is smart enough to not index wp-admin and wp-includes, unless you tell them too, so this whole discussion may simply be a mute point.
Bottomline, is Google wants to index your CSS and JS and won’t have it any other way. So the final solution is to simply bow down and accept…
The apparent new standard should close this subject:
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/User-Agent: Googlebot
Allow: /*.js*
Allow: /*.css*Concur?

In reply to: [Twenty Fifteen] Hacked site, theme under suspicionBecause you find compromised scripts in folder X it does not necessary mean that folder X was the entry point. I rarely see an obvious entry point. More often than not hackers go out of their way to misdirect the actual entry point.
That said, while the twentyfifteen theme has had a recent security concern back in May, if you had updated the theme since then it seems very unlikely that is the actual entry point.
Seems more likely hackers used your FTP password or some other means to upload their files.

In reply to: [Sweet Captcha] Sweetcapcha hacked and causing malicious popupsYes, confirmed today, while cleaning up a hacked website, that this SweetCAPTCHA plugin was responsible for malicious popups and redirects. Summarily executed plugin.
Not cool.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: My Site was HackedIf you site was compromised, it’s likely hacker modified files, which may result in password request form failure. So your next step is to replace your core WordPress files.

In reply to: help! hacked! how do I manually clean databaseThe easiest method is to log into your PHPMyAdmin and work to locate the malicious stuff in there by searching, etc.
There is no automated tool for this. Someone’s eyeballs and sticky fingers need to be involved.

In reply to: Bunch of website hackedSadly, folks often miss the very serious security ramifications of hosting multiple websites or blogs under one account.*
All it takes is one command for a would-be hacker to wipe the entire directory clean.
I hope you have backups.* Segregation of websites is the one of the best security safeguards you can implement moving forward.
