    Hi Ward,
    Both links, “An update is available for 1 plugin” in (Wordfence > Dashboard) page and “Click here to update now.” in Wordfence Scan result should link to “/wp-admin/update-core.php” page on your website.

    It could be eitehr a plugin/theme conflict causing this issue, so disabling all other plugins -temporarily- and reverting back to the default WordPress theme could help in narrowing down this one, also it could be some rules added in “.htaccess” file.

    Thanks.

    I rolled back to previous version (6.2.10) of WF and it does not show a plugin update is needed. When I update to 6.3 it again shows as a plugin updated is needed. I have a dev/mirror site with PHP 5.3.3, Apache/2.2.15 same plugins, theme etc no issue.
    Issue is on server with PHP 7.0.14, Apache/2.4.6
    TY!
