    Hi,
    I’m confused regarding the reporting of “plugins visible to the public”.
    What does that actually mean?
    The same report states that my directory listing is turned off.
    That being the case, how would the public be able to see the reported plugins as visible?
    What criteria in rank math determines if a plug-in is visible?

    Can you please clarify this for me?

    Thanks much!
    Don West
