    I have upgraded some of the plug-ins and WordPress itself. In reviewing the PHP databases all the tables are wp_ but Security Scan still indicates that I need to change the table names. How can this be? Is this a bug in the plug-in?

    It's not a bug it's a recommendation that you alter the default prefix to ensure tighter security.

    There's a fix for this here

    Sorry but that thread doesn't answer my question. I have been into phpmyadmin and reviewed all the database tables. All the tables in my wordpress database all have wp_ prefix. However, Security Scan says all the tables are wp-. How can that be when they are all reading wp_?

    While it is a recommendation, Security Scan also recommended the change of the user login as well. When I changed the user login, the software immediately recognized the change. Why is it not recognizing the change in the table prefixes?
