]]>I have deactivated the plugin, refreshed the keys and still no change.
Any advice appreciated.
For context, this is a new site I have taken over management. There was no maintenance done on the website for at least a year.

The Wordfence documentation shows that these files should have been automatically deleted after the Elementor update was completed, which did not happen.
Can I delete them manually or do I have to keep them by ignoring the Wordfence warning?

* Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/wp-seo-main.php
Can you explain what is wrong? As all sites run with Yoast and not all sites get this message.

]]>What I believe is happening is the authors are changing the files on www.remarpro.com and not changing the version number.
I know this is not the problem of wordfence its doing its job. the reason for thes post is two fold.
1. Warn other users their files are not being hacked and whats going on.
2 and most importantly Ask wordfence maintainers to work with WordPress and fix the problem of authors changing files on the fly and not putting out a change of version number so we can update the plugin.
thanks

I got the message
“Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/wp_mail_smtp.php”
from WordFence.
Should I reinstall it or leave it?
Thank you.

Am I right to assume this is nothing to worry about?
Thank you.

]]>Why would a readme.txt file need to be modified and how could it have been modifdied if I did not update the plugin?
I had a similar warning a few days ago from another plugin (si-captcha).

]]>Thanks for this awesome plugin!
I don’t think it’s really a problem but I got an alert that said the following. I’m not really worried about the readme.txt files. I’m more concerned about the others.
Could you tell me if I have a problem and, if so, what I should do about it?
Thanks!
