    WordFence (security plugin) sent notification yesterday that two files were modified on both our production and staging sites:

    wp-content/plugins/mystickymenu/mystickymenu.php

    wp-content/plugins/mystickymenu/update.php

    Are these changes expected, or should I scan for viruses and delete and then reinstall your plugin?

    Hello, can I ask if you updated the plug-in before this (manually or automatically)? There is no known security vulnerability. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] for any questions.

    The plugin is currently at Version 2.6.9 and automatic updates is on. Why WordFence would have flagged it for file changes is a mystery. I just looked at the plugin files and they were all last modified on March 21, 2024 at 6:39 AM (probably my local time, PDT). I will ask WordFence about this.

    Thanks!

    Hi again, I just received a confirmation from our developer that we have indeed modified the plug-in for the upcoming version of WordPress (6.5) and in making some small changes in the signup form. Hope this helps!
