How do I tell if a wordpress theme has a virus?

January 22nd, 2020

I download wordpress themes from here quite often, but I have read in other forums that sometimes they will have viruses or malicious code inserted into them. How do I check if a wordpress theme that I have downloaded has some type of virus or malicious code? Does virustotal.com find viruses in wordpress themes? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

That is a good start, but it will not detect all exploits/back doors. You will never be 100% sure unless you review the code.
