 * I’ve been getting notifications from your plugin that says “The Plugin “name 
   of plugin” appears to be abandoned.”
    I check the site and the plugins section
   and nothing is wrong. All the plugins are just fine. Any idea of what’s going
   on?

 * Same here. A lot of false alarms. A recent sample:
    Critical Problems:
 * * The Plugin “Contact Form DB” has been removed from wordpress.org.
 * …
 * Warnings:
 * * The Plugin “Export Featured Images” appears to be abandoned.
 * * The Plugin “Get page IDs” appears to be abandoned.
 * * The Plugin “Limit Login Attempts” appears to be abandoned.
 * …
 * All plugins appear to work just fine.

 * I just posted a message to the WordFence support forum where the messages come
   from to see if they know what’s going on.

 * Please have a look at this article which addresses the “Plugin appears to be 
   abandoned” scan message.

 * Hi [@scottkr24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottkr24/),
 * Indeed as [@horus79](https://wordpress.org/support/users/horus79/) pointed out
   we implemented new checks (and warnings) within the Wordfence scan.

 * Does the Wordfence functionality require any special settings to operate, or 
   does the login limiting work just by having Wordfence installed & activated?
   
   Thanks!
