WordPress 7.1.2: critical core security fix. Update now, then check inactive themes and comments.

Deactivated themes

Why Security Ninja warns about unused WordPress themes, and how to remove them.

Inactive themes still sit on disk. Old theme files can contain known vulnerabilities even when they are not the active theme.

  1. Go to Appearance → Themes.
  2. Keep your active theme and, ideally, one default WordPress theme for recovery.
  3. Delete themes you do not use.

If a theme has not been updated for a long time, switch to a maintained theme before you rely on it again.
