Hi,
I changed from 4 to 8.1 yesterday and today I got the following alert from AntiVirus Plugin:
Are those the original codes?
1. /themes/Newspaper/functions.php
add_filter(‘loop_shop_per_page’, create_function(‘$cols’, ‘return 4;’));
2. /themes/Newspaper/includes/td_templates_builder.php

Thanks,

Hello,
Using such an old version of the theme is extremely risky.
ello,
Please note that the theme has to be updated along with WordPress and plugins. Old versions can have security breaches and these can be exploited by different tools.
The old version from prior to April 2016 had a security issue which was patched in 6.7.2. Similarly WordPress prior to 4.7 is insecure.
Please make sure you update your theme, plugins and WordPress and do not stick to old versions.
If you have been the victim of an attack, update your theme immediately to the latest version and use one of these guides:
