 * Hi,
 * You have changes a file in the WP repository without releasing an updated. Don’t
   do that please, it triggers security plugins such as WordFence into thinking 
   that a website has been compromised.

 * Fair enough. The changes weren’t significant, but I can see how WordFence would
   cause unnecessary concern as a result.

 * I know, I had a look at the differences 😉
   Wordfence allows me to fix it by replacing
   the file with the current one in the WP repository, but it gets challenging if
   you use the plugin on many sites.ThanksJP
