 * Good morning,
 * I’ve just started using WordFence for my site and had a question on scans, I 
   get the email to advise on which plugins need to be updated etc
 * One day it might say 1 plugin needs to be updated and the next day it will say
   another plugin will need to be updated. Is this just checking for new issues 
   found and advising on them or is it supposed to list out all plugins that have
   issues and need to be updated?
 * Many thanks,
 * Craig

 * Hi [@craig030](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craig030/), thanks for your
   question.
 * We recommend to always have the latest version of WordPress core and your plugins/
   themes to ensure any potential security or compatibility issues from running 
   older versions are at a minimum. The notices will be mostly advisory if we spot
   there’s a newer version available on the wordpress.org repository, but from time-
   to-time you may see these as “Critical” warnings if the scan sees a version you’re
   running contains a security issue that has since been patched.
 * Thanks,
   Peter.
