 * Two days ago, I moved up the PHP 7.4 because of the recommendation of several
   plugins I use on my website. I am now getting this error message in the error.
   log:
 * [23-Jan-2022 17:16:06 UTC] WordPress database error You have an error in your
   SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version 
   for the right syntax to use near ‘= 0’ at line 1 for query UPDATE wp_sbb_fingerprintset
   deny = 0 made by do_action_ref_array(‘stopbadbots_cron_hook’), WP_Hook->do_action,
   WP_Hook->apply_filters, stopbadbots_cron_function
 * Should I just ignore this?

 * That seemed to have done it. I usually keep my plugins pretty up to date, but
   it might just have been a timing issue with the update. Thanks much!
