 * WordFence keeps reporting that there is an update for a plugin but when clicked
   on the link I see no updates. The first time it happened I dismissed the warning.
   This afternoon it appeared again with nothing to update. I am reporting this 
   in case there is a bug in the detection algorithm, it is easy for me to dismiss
   the warning.

 * Hi Cemal,
    I would appreciate if you can provide me with the plugin name and 
   a [screenshot](https://docs.wordfence.com/en/I'm_sorry._I'm_not_very_technical._How_do_I_take_a_screenshot%3F)
   from the scan result showing the plugin update notification for further investigations.
 * Thanks.
