Hi,

Some sites using Worfence where hacked and I am investigating how. If its a plugin, the theme, the hosting, phishing, etc.

The strange situation is that with three sites when I scan with Wordfence I receive this

[APR 15 01:14:01] Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/buscacieloscom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/gp-premium/library/class-plugin-updater.php on line 342 0

I reuploaded Genetapress Premium Plugin and it still says the same

Thanks,
Francisco

Hi there,

This is just a simple PHP warning in our licensing API - it wouldn't have anything to do with your hacked sites. What's likely happening here is the request that Wordfence is sending during the scan isn't what the updater is expecting, which is causing the warning. Are you having any issues receiving updates on these sites?

Thanks!

Hi, It's strange, but now I can´t even try to update the GB premium licence. I receive

403 Prohibido. Su servidor no puede comunicarse con generatepress.com para activar su clave de licencia.

("403 Forbidden. Your server is not able to communicate with generatepress.com")

I tried reuploading GB premium, deactivating Wordfence, reinstalling Wordpress using http://FTP..

Hi!

With the "Secondary API" code inside functions.php from the child theme, it works :)

Thanks,
