    Hi, Are you aware of any recent incompatibility with the Wordfence security plugin?
    When I try to update your plugin from version 1.8.0 to 1.8.1, I get a 403 error from Wordfence (details given below) on the plugins update page. Do you have any suggestions about what could be causing this and how to fix it?
