Whitelist files and folders

If a scan flags files you know are safe, you can whitelist them so they stop appearing as findings.

Whitelist from scan results

1. Run a scan from Security Ninja → Malware.
2. Next to a result, click Whitelist.
3. Confirm with OK.

The file is skipped on later scans until you use Revert Whitelist.

To skip whole folders or path patterns (not just one file), use Exclude paths from the Malware Scanner.

Whitelist via code

You can also add custom code in a child theme’s functions.php or a small custom plugin.

See the securityninja_whitelist filter for details.
