wordfence is highlighting an issue with updraft file

  • Hi @rfollett,

    UpdraftPlus made a change to version 1.13.11 in plugins/updraftplus/class-updraftplus.php, which triggers a warning when comparing files to the originals.

    The change is on 3 different lines, fixing a missing \. We’d recommend either using Wordfence to fix the file, or removing and reinstalling UpdraftPlus to get the fixed version.

    This is what Updraft Plus FAQs say about Wordfence’s flagging of unannounced modifications:

    Is it really normal and okay for a plugin to update without releasing an official update? Updraft Plus has been modified in 5 of my 10 websites, without official release or announcement, and each triggered a Wordfence warning.

    It seems to me that Wordfence is doing its job correctly.
