The Rank Math plugin seems to be working fine without any conflicts with other plugins or themes. However, when I scanned my website using Wordfence, it detected malware in this plugin. Can you suggest a way to resolve this issue? If we replace the Rank Math plugin from the backend through its files, will it affect our website’s ranking/SEO? Or is there any other way to resolve this?
