Defender still show PHP Execution warning

I have followed the instruction to edit Nginx configuration file from Defender. However, the warning still show after I install the code and restart my Nginx & PHP service. Today, Defender detect that one of WP core files has been modified & new suspicious file exist. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here. I use latest Defender plugin.

    Hi Ahmad Zaim

    I hope you’re well today and thank you for your question!

    The “Prevent PHP Execution” and the suspicious file report are not the same thing so we’ll need to diagnose them separately. I’d like to check your site but since you didn’t assign any of your sites to this ticket and none of them has support access enabled, I don’t really know which one is that.

    I would like to take a closer look so could you pleas enable support access to the affected site? To do so, please go to the “WPMU DEV -> Support -> Support Access” page in that site’s back-end, click on “Grant support access” button there and let me know once it’s done (as I won’t be notified automatically).

    I’ll then check the site and assist you with the case.

    Kind regards,

    Adam
