    I did a scan thru my Wordfence security plugin today, and shows that there have been modified files to the Jetpack plugin, However, when I look into the details, this is what it reads. `This file belongs to plugin “Jetpack” version “10.4” and has been modified from the file that is distributed by WordPress.org for this version.

    Do an install again. Normally they you to upgrade plugin and so it can save the changes.

    Hi there

    I’m not quite sure what you mean here.

    Are you saying that even after reinstalling the Jetpack plugin, you still get a warning from Wordfence saying Jetpack plugin files have been changed?

    Hey Dan,

    Thanks for the quick response. The plugin Jetpack is installed with the latest version. However, I did a scecurity scan with Wordfence, and this was the message:

    This file belongs to plugin "Plugin Name" version "X.X.X" and has been modified from the file that is distributed by WordPress.org for this version. Please use the link to see how the file has changed. If you have modified this file yourself, you can safely ignore this warning. If you see a lot of changed files in a plugin that have been made by the author, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin to force an upgrade. Doing this is a workaround for plugin authors who don't manage their code correctly.

    Do reinstall as it says? I went to my updates and everything is updates correctly. Don’t know.

    Hi @teresacuervo

    I am not sure if this is the exact message you are getting or if it mentions Jetpack specifically. Either way, I’d suggest reinstalling Jetpack as shown on our guide:

    https://jetpack.com/support/reconnecting-reinstalling-jetpack/

    I’d also suggest reaching out to Wordfence for more information about that if a full reinstall doesn’t work.

    Best,
