    I have ithemes security pro installed and running malware scan every day.
    I got a blip i never saw before:

    Site issue
    Infected URL: https://dougforpa.com/wp-content/themes/business-pro/
    Type: *Index page missing. Directory and file listing permitted
    Documentation: http://labs.sucuri.net/db/malware/warning?index_missing.2

    Is this something anyone has seen, and if so, how you've dealt with it?

    Thanks.

    Craig

    The warning says your site has been infected with malware. I would contact Sucuri and pay them to clean your site.

    There are only 2 sites i run business pro on.
    Both sites threw that message recently.
    None of the other 60+ sites I have running on the same server throw that message with ithemes.

    I've been through the site and code, and don't see any indication of malware on either of these two sites.

    That's why i posted in studiopress forums.
    Hoping someone who uses these themes in conjunction with ithemes security might have seen that warning.

    Thanks.

    Business Pro is not a Studio Press theme. It is a community marketplace theme. Community marketplace theme developers support their themes directly. As the creators, they will be most familiar with the theme and be able to provide you with the best support.

    To get the fastest answer to your question, please contact the Seo Themes support team.

    Hi Craig,

    Did you manage to get in touch with us?

    This warning is showing because there is no index.php file in the theme root directory. It can be fixed by adding one.

    This will happen with most child themes, StudioPress or third party since most do not include index files. However, servers normally handle this as you can see in the theme demo when trying to access wp-content directories - https://demo.seothemes.com/business-pro/wp-content/themes/business-pro-theme/

    I'd suggest getting in touch with your host to see why this is not the default behaviour. It could be malware but it could also be an incorrect server configuration.
