    1. The Wordfence Activity Report is reporting that has been modified. It shows up about every couple of weeks as being modified. File manager Last Modified date confirms that something has changed, but I haven’t gone any further.

    We are using Redux (3.6.15) and we don’t have auto-updates activated at the WordPress or hosting level. This seems odd to me.

    2. The Wordfence Scan keeps reporting that is has been altered.

    When I take the Wordfence option to compare the files, they are drastically different. Wordfence is saying that the original file has a lot of blank space and the code is much shorter than the version that keeps popping into our website that is a considerable amount of code.

    In my STAGING area on April 16, I renamed the plugin and then installed a new version and Wordfence was happy with that. On Monday, that same file updated again in STAGING and now Wordfence doesn’t like it. It updated on Tuesday evening on the LIVE site.

    Any idea what is going on here?

    If you look at our code for that file:

    
// Weekly update
if ( isset( $this->parent->args['google_update_weekly'] ) && $this->parent->args['google_update_weekly'] && ! empty( $this->parent->args['google_api_key'] ) ) {...

    You will see 2 things have to be set for this to occur. The google_update_weekly argument set to true and a google_api_key argument to be provided.

    This can be set in any theme or plugin that is using Redux. If you want to disable the weekly updates, change those arguments or remove them and updates will stop.

    We offered this feature for developers to provide their own API key to allow updates. In the new version of Redux (forthcoming) we simply invite users to update and disregard the API key requirements.

    In other words, the old version was developer-based consent. The new version will be user-based consent.

    Best of luck to you!
