Note that some developers do not follow the official guidelines that WordPress provides for plugin developers, and will modify a “tag” or a version of their plugin that has already been released by adding new code to an existing release – for example, fixing a bug or correcting a typo. It may be a case of a developer who is not managing their code correctly.
In this case, you can send the developer a note asking them to not check code into existing “tags” or releases.
Not sure what I am doing wrong here. If you direct me to the relevant link that could explain the correct way of doing things, would be able to figure what’s wrong.
You’ve fixed it now, as you have just released an update.
These alerts are generated by Wordfence comparing the files on my website with those in the WordPress repository. If you make changes without an accompanying release, then the files will not be in sync, hence the alert. I’m no expert, I’m just quoting what the Wordfence documentation says.
Of course, I never change files without a release. That’s the most basic thing about pushing changes for a live plugin. I know that 🙂
Next time WordFence send you this warning, give me the link of those CSS files at your website so that I could what changes are introduced in those files and how.
I need url of your website to check how the CSS file there is different from that comes with the plugin. You can send it to support[at]heateor[dot]com if you don’t want to post here.
Sorry, but until you send me those files you received the warning for, wouldn’t be able to identify what the issue was.
Ok, here we go again. Another modified file alert:

No, I am not doing anything.
I will just revert the files to the repository version I think. Life’s too short to keep worrying about this.
It’s okay. You will revert the files back. But you should check why the CSS files are different from the original files at plugin repository.
