Probably overkill, but try:

hfile:/public_html/wp-content/themes/classroom_math_ote061/functions.php
hfile:/public_html/wp-content/themes/classroom_math_ote061/footer.php

That should test if the "file:" format is non-functional or if you've made a typo in your file path/name.

Best,
Michael

Have you added --ignore /etc/cxs/cxs.ignore to your cxs command, i.e. in /etc/cxs/cxswatch.sh?

[fzamaan]

oh no idea about that. can you kindly give me some more info on --ignore and cxswatch.sh?
you have not mentioned anything related to cxswatch.sh here at "Dealing with false-positives in cxs"
viewtopic.php?t=2910

[Sarah]

I assume you are using cxswatch. If you want cxswatch to ignore anything, you have to tell it where to find the file with the ignore information. The only way to configure this is to modify the command line in the file /etc/cxs/cxswatch.sh. In the cxs documentation, all of the settings to be used with cxs commands are described, including --ignore.

Edit cxswatch.sh and add "--ignore /etc/cxs/cxs.ignore" to the cxs command line, and then restart cxswatch.

Hello,

Thank you for the support.
