    CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
    php56w-5.6.29-1.w7.x86_64
    Wordfence 6.2.10

    I’m getting plugin upgrade notices for Advanced Custom Fields, but the plugin is not installed on my site (nor has it ever been, as far as I know). E-mail excerpt is below. The plugin name and out-of-date version field are blank. The current version 5.5.5 matches the current version for the ACF plugin. Let me know if I can provide more information for diagnosis.

    Update: It looks like the flatbook theme includes ACF in the theme. WordFence is reporting it as a plugin needing an update, and flags are showing for the Updates and Plugins menu items in the dashboard. However, there is no way to update the plugin within the theme on the updates page. It’s no longer clear to me if this is a WordFence issue, or if it’s a WordPress issue and WordFence is just reporting on the inconsistent information in WordPress.
