 * Hello,
 * I’m new Hide My Ghost, but have been using it on a site that was having a lot
   of hack attempts and love it. I have noticed over the last few months that everytime
   Hide My Ghost is updated I get a Medium Severity Problem warning from Wordfence
   for 20+ files related to Hide My Ghost.
 * When I login to read the issue this is what Wordfence has in its Details: This
   file belongs to plugin “Hide My WP Ghost Lite” version “5.1.03” 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. If you have modified this
   file yourself, you can safely ignore this warning. If you see a lot of changed
   files in a plugin that have been made by the author, then try uninstalling and
   reinstalling the plugin to force an upgrade. Doing this is a workaround for plugin
   authors who don’t manage their code correctly.
 * Is this normal? Or is there something I need to change?

 * 👋Hi Mieche,
 * We appreciate taking the time to reach out to us!
 * Feel free to ignore this, as it doesn’t affect your website security in any way.
   Most likely Wordfance saw that the plugin changed or was looking for something
   that isn’t there anymore any it gave you a notification, but there is no need
   to do anything and the security remains the same.
 * If anything else comes up, we are one message away.

 * We’ll try and reach out to them to see if anything can be done about it, but 
   for the moment, ignoring it is the best way to go about it.
