 * Hi, I ran a scan using Wordfence numerous times, and get this warning:
 * The Plugin “” needs an upgrade.
    Plugin Name: Current Plugin Version: New Plugin
   Version: 4.3.5 Severity: Critical Status New You need to upgrade “” to the newest
   version to ensure you have any security fixes the developer has released. Click
   here to update now.
 * Problem is
    1) there is no plugin named 2) When I click on update now, it says“
   You have the latest version of WordPress. Future security updates will be applied
   automatically.”
 * I’ve tried reinstalling wordpress, but the problem still persists. And I believe
   it has something to do with recent injections of malware on my site, despite 
   placing 2 factor authentications.
 * Could you help? 🙁

 * Try disabling all plugins, enable Wordfence and see if the same error persist.
 * Afterwards, try enabling all others 1 at a time and see if another plugin might
   be causing this.
 * I’m not sure if this is a Wordfence issue or if there really is a security issue
   on your site but doing the steps above might narrow down the possibilities.

 * We saw this once before. I believe churva is right about how to diagnose it, 
   though I wonder if you have something weird going on. However, it may be something
   simple like someone doesn’t have the plugin name in the style.css file.

 * Any update on this. I’m facing exactly the same issue. Could it be an issue related
   to the theme? The site in question uses Salient.

 * Y, pretty sure this has to do with the theme needing to be updated. Unfortunately
   for me, the sites that I have this issue with are hard to update because they
   have custom code (i.e. didn’t use a child theme.) I’m going to bite the bullet
   and update one of them. I’ll get back to see if this resolves the issue.

 * Thanks Thgore!
 * (though I think it’s not about updating the theme because mine is the latest 
   version.. hmmm)

 * So for sure you are on v5.0? That’s a bummer. Have to keep digging.

 * For sure thgore :/ And I’m also getting another un-disimissable alert to “upload
   active theme files now to ensure proper operation”.
