File Issue
editor-rtl.css /var/web/site/public_html/wp-includes/blocks/block/editor-rtl.css Unknown file in WordPress core
editor-rtl.min.css /var/web/site/public_html/wp-includes/blocks/block/editor-rtl.min.css Unknown file in WordPress core

Can you please assist?
Thanks.

Theme files are normally only written into
/wp-content/themes/theme-name/
and not core WP folders.

/wp-includes/ is part of wordpress core; not the theme.

You may want to actually download a fresh zip file of wordpress installer from wordpress.org, unzip, then *look* inside the /wp-includes/ folder.

Those all look like normal wordpress files. So the tool you are using to scan WP may be woefully out of date if it cannot recognize current 6x branch (e.g., WP 6.6) files.

(I don’t work here. Just long time tagdiv user and WP user since 2004.)

Hi,

These files are not from the theme, but from WordPress.
Please reinstall the WordPress.

Thank you!
