 * I’m seeing a number of errors related to your plugin through my Wordfence scan.
   It’s saying that the following files were modified from the original file distributed
   by WordPress. Here are the file names: permalink-manager-helper-functions.php,
   permalink-manager-third-parties.php, and permalink-manager-settings.php. Does
   this happen because of changes that I made to the settings after installation,
   or is this something more concerning?

 * Hi Sara,
 * I guess that it is caused by the small code adjustments that I applied in the
   code a few days ago. I did not update the plugin version number, because the 
   changes were minor:

 * Actually, you can ignore the Wordfence alerts (the changes I made have zero impact
   on WP security), but if you would like to fix this issue, please remove the plugin&
   reinstall it.
 * Best regards,
    Maciej

 * Hi [@mbis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbis/),
 * Will I loose my settings by uninstalling and then reinstalling?

 * Hi Sara,
 * no, the settings will stay intact after the plugin is reinstalled.
