 * Hi, Scott.
 * I hope all is well.
 * File Monitor Plus is a very useful plugin, and I’d hate to see to fall by the
   wayside.
 * It appears to work just fine on the most recent versions of WordPress. It would
   be great if you’d update and validate the plugin so it doesn’t display the warning
   message on the wordpress.org plugin page.

 * **ADDED FUNCTIONALITY**
    If you’re looking to add functionality to the plugin,
   let me suggest comparing the file hashes for core files and plugins against the
   WP provided hashes. Apparently, there’s an API for that (the Sucuri WP plugin
   is using it [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/sucuri-scanner](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/sucuri-scanner)).
   It would allow you to segregate correctly updated core and plugin files from 
   the unexpected file updates we really want to monitor.
 * FYI, I’m using a combination of the two plugins to monitor my sites’ files, and
   that approach seems to work fine. Still, it would be nice to have this monitoring
   and reporting in one plugin.
 * Thanks again!
 * Mike
