Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Wordfence warning regarding the modified plugin file. This warning can sometimes be a false positive, especially after updates to the Rank Math plugin.
If you are seeing a warning about a suspected malware URL or modified files, it is important to ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math. We recommend updating to the latest version (currently v1.0.217) if you haven’t done so already, as this version addresses some issues that may trigger such warnings from Wordfence.
To update Rank Math, go to the Plugins section in your WordPress dashboard and click the Update Now button next to Rank Math.
If you continue to experience this warning after updating, please reply to this ticket with the URLs of the sites experiencing the issue, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.
