    Hi Ulf,

    Nice to see how you maintain this support page so actually and thank you for your plugin. However, there seem to be a small issue.

    I have Wordfence installed on 2 client sites where I have wp-dtree running. Since the last update Wordfence reports file differences for all files in the wp-dtree distro. The differences seem all related to a change in the Text Domain. I’ve seen Wordfence report such false positives before and it doesn’t seem harmful, but still it bothers me when I get a report like this:

    Could you look into this to see what causes the warnings and how to get rid of them?

    Well, no. I don’t use “Wordfence” and have no interest in learning how to configure your tools for you.

    If you’re this worried about updating plugins I can only recommend you take the time to read included changelogs, and maybe check the actual changeset too?

    By the way, this is not about me needing help configuring my tools, this is about me informing you your plugin is subject to – probably false positive but nevertheless – warnings issued by a well known security organisation that is widely respected in the WordPress community. If that is fine with you, allright.
