Malware in functions.php

Support
#1

Hi!

my hosting provider shut my site down because they identified malware in wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php. I ran that file through ai, whicht confirmed that.
Now I would like to replace the file with the original functions.php. There is no chlid theme inlcuded in the downloaded files for x, but can I just use the file that is there instead (‘x_package/x/functions.php’)?

Thanks,
Ben

No you can’t just use the functions.php file you referenced. Checkout the guide here on getting the child theme files. Let us know if that helps.
