 * I recieved the following alerts…
 * Warnings:
 * * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/ml-slider/languages/metaslider.mo
   *
   Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/ml-slider/languages/metaslider.po
 * I didn’t do a manual update. Is it normal for a plugin to change without being
   updated?

 * Hi Stacey,
 * Meta Slider doesn’t do anything to update itself, but more recent versions of
   WordPress do have the capability to update themselves. Automatic plugin updates
   are turned off by default, but maybe your theme, another plugin or your host 
   has turned them on.
 * Regards,
    Tom.
