 * Hello,
    I have just updated a plug-in and received the following warning: “This
   file belongs to plugin “Duplicator” version “1.1.20” and has been modified from
   the file that is distributed by WordPress.org for this version. Please use the
   link to see how the file has changed.”. This is only a Readme file, but I checked
   and got the message: There are no differences between the original file and the
   file in the repository. I then clicked
    -  ‘There are no differences between the original file and the file in the repository’
 *  and received the message: “No security problems were detected by Wordfence.”.
   
   Scanning again cause the error message to reappear. This is happening on two 
   sites. No real problem, but am curious why this is happening.
