 * WordFence (security plugin) sent notification yesterday that two files were modified
   on both our production and staging sites:
 * `wp-content/plugins/mystickymenu/mystickymenu.php`
 * `wp-content/plugins/mystickymenu/update.php`
 * Are these changes expected, or should I scan for viruses and delete and then 
   reinstall your plugin?

 * Hello, can I ask if you updated the plug-in before this (manually or automatically)?
   There is no known security vulnerability. Please feel free to contact us at [hi@support.premio.io](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modified-plugin-file-warning-2/hi@support.premio.io?output_format=md)
   for any questions.

 * The plugin is currently at Version 2.6.9 and automatic updates is on. Why WordFence
   would have flagged it for file changes is a mystery. I just looked at the plugin
   files and they were all last modified on March 21, 2024 at 6:39 AM (probably 
   my local time, PDT). I will ask WordFence about this.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi again, I just received a confirmation from our developer that we have indeed
   modified the plug-in for the upcoming version of WordPress (6.5) and in making
   some small changes in the signup form. Hope this helps!
