    Trying to eliminate the following alert:

    Believe that the information entered in HPF  Ignore Hidden Plugin Folders & Files, may be incorrect:

    Your screenshots do not contain an image.  Copy and paste the HPF alert message and post it in your forum reply.

    Strange there were no images from the Lightshot links.

    HPF ignore rules are just a folder name or file name without a folder/file path.  Example: plugin-folder-name, example-file-name.php.  In this case there is whitespace/blank space in the file naming convention, which cannot be ignored since whitespace/blank space is not a valid PHP file naming convention.  You should not have any zip files in your /plugins/ folder.  So just delete the default-to-gd-master (3).zip file and any other zip files that you find under your /plugins/ folder.  The default-to-gd-master (3).zip file appears to have something to do with this plugin (Sets GD as default WP_Image_Editor class) that no longer exists > https://github.com/getsource/default-to-gd.
