Hello guys! I dont know why, but the website where I used updated Enfold theme, now have a problem with phishing (reported with Chrome)…
Google Search console report this: “These pages attempt to trick users into doing something dangerous such as installing unwanted software or revealing personal information.
wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Paypal-Confirm.com/myaccount/signin/?country.x=DZ&locale.x=fr_DZ wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Paypal-Confirm.com/myaccount/signin/”
Do u know this problem? Have u got a solution? Thank you :)
Hi,
Are you running any security plugins like WordFence or Sucuri?
If not I would install them and see what they find.
I’ve used Enfold for years and never had an issue regarding the theme and any security holes, these guys are good.
As wp-content is a standard WordPress folder at theme specific. it is more likely to be an infection from a plugin or a “hack” than a theme related issue .
Can you check your ftp and see if any suspect plugins / files are there?
If you aren’t using a pay-pal plugin then delete those files from uploads and run some checks.Hope that helps

Hi GraphicNerd,
We’ve had no reports of the theme causing any problems like that, and the path you provided seems to relate to some sort of Paypal functionality?
Best regards,
RikardHi guys, thanks for your help. And sorry for my english.
I have looked in the path I have provided, but there aren’t any file/invisible file into this.
I have tried to delete the path but it create again automatically.I dont know why, i’m sure that the theme is clean, but i dont understand why chrome report a problem…
Thank u again
Hi,
Can you post a link to your website and/or the page that is causing the alert?
It does sound like there could be some form of infection on site. This can happen if your server / hosting company aren’t doing their bit keeping security tight or due to an infected / old plugin / theme that has an exploit. Only using premium themes and up to date plugins is essential for security.
Google can be wrong sometimes and throw out incorrect alerts but that rare. Is the alert showing in Webmaster Tools?I’d highly recommend installing WordFence and running a full scan. If you aren’t sure leave all setting on standard and it’ll be fine.
Hope that helps

Hi,
@tjswarbs78 thanks for sharing the good tips.Best regards,
MikeI have the main domain with the last version of Enfold, and a subdomain with a past version of the same theme…
All plugins are updated, and Wordfence don’t report me anything. The website is clean. But for google is not clean and report me the problem on wp-content/uploads, and that folder is empty… :/
On main domain (basic installation of WP (empty of article, pages, media, etc) and basic installation of Enfold (no personalization), Chrome report me a problem. On subdomain I have a copy of the real website but Chrome don’t report me a problem.
When I move subdomain on main domain, Chrome report me a problem…
I’m not sure I was well explained :(
Thank you! :)
