 * Hi [@stephenwp001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephenwp001/) ,
 * We cannot say for sure why WordFence is creating these warnings. Our latest release
   was version 14.0.4 on April 30. Does this match the dates you see in WordFence?

 * Hi,
 * WordFence sent the email alert on 5th May, so no match.
 * I think it may be a false positive, not sure?

 * Hi [@stephenwp001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephenwp001/),
 * While we are not 100% sure, we believe that the notification you are getting 
   is due to an update where a lot of files have been modified, which is just fine.
   However, if you do feel the need, you can always reinstall the plugin files without
   losing any previously entered data or settings. You can simply deactivate Yoast
   SEO and delete the plugin and then reinstall it. This will make sure that the
   original plugin files are in place.
 * Hope this helps.

 * Thanks for your help.
 * Must be a false positive as I’ve checked my site and run it through several scanners
   and all is fine.
 * Thank you.
