    Hello – This post is meant to be informative to the developers concerning a failed revert.

    After running a scan, malware was found in all the theme functions.php files.

    I clicked on ‘clean’.  The automatic site test stayed red, indicated the clean did not work.  I clicked on ‘revert’, but the site remained broken.

    The malware was on line 1 of the functions.php file. The error after cleaning was:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /home/content/p/r/o/prongpower/html/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/functions.php on line 1

    Malware was still in the file, with a leading ‘)’ causing the error.

    I resolved by restoring a clean file from backup.

    malware infected file available by request if it helps your troubleshooting.

    Thanks for reporting this issue. Please send me one of the infected files so that I can see why it failed to clean it and fix this issue.

    Thanks for sending me that whole file. I have updated the definitions so that threat will be correctly and completely removed in future scans.

    I am also working on fixing that bug that caused the revert link to fail for you…
