 * Hello-
    Everything seems to be working correctly however, I keep getting a Wordfence
   notification that one of my plugins needs an update. The odd thing about this
   is that the versions are identical and when asking the developer of the plugin
   they state I’m running the newest version. They said that it could be that Wordfence
   is looking for a changefile instead of the default readme.txt file. Obviously
   I don’t want to hide the notification, etc.
 * BTW- I’ve done a full scan and it comes back clear however, later it will pop
   back up.

 * Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

 * Hi [@nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/),
 * If you’ve re-run a full scan rather than a quick scan, I would expect any update
   discrepancies to have been resolved. It is also possible sometimes for plugin
   developers to make a minor update and not increment the version number of their
   plugin. This should also get spotted and updated when our servers check for latest
   plugin repository versions at wordpress.org, but this happens at set intervals
   during the week so can appear as modified until then.
 * I believe our servers are due to update again today, so if this still persists
   in around 24 hours from now, please drop me a copy of your diagnostic report 
   so I can take a look at the file in question from your scan results. You send
   the report to **wftest @ wordfence . com** by finding the link at the top of 
   the **Wordfence > Tools > Diagnostics** page. Then click on **“Send Report by
   Email”**. Please add your forum username where indicated and _respond here after
   you have sent it._
 * **NOTE:** It should look as follows – Screenshot of [Tools > Diagnostic > Send by Email](https://www.wordfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/diagnosticsendbyemail.png)
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.

 * Hi [@nppbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nppbc/), thanks for sending your
   diagnostic over.
 * I only have a “Scan Issues” result in there about the difference between WordPress
   core’s installed version (5.9.3) compared to the available version of 6.0
 * I feel that if a further plugin discrepancy notice hasn’t been dismissed automatically
   with subsequent scans, you should be safe to select “Ignore” on this as it’s 
   no longer coming through with your most recent scan results. Although, in time
   our repository and WordPress.org’s repository versions may have synchronized.
 * Let me know if that hasn’t worked. Feel free to share a screenshot with a service
   like [Snipboard](https://snipboard.io/) if you can see something that isn’t showing
   in the diagnostic report’s scan results.
 * Peter.
