Can you please help me learn what I should do about this warning?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the support.

This is a harmless notice and apparently you can ignore it.

WCML is available in https://wpml.org/account/downloads/ and also at wordpress.org. wordfence doesn't know this, and thinks everything comes from wordpress.org.

You got the plugin from wpml.org and wordfence is comparing it to the wordpress.org version. There's only a minor difference (see attached).

If you want to get rid of the error, you can try downloading and installing the one from wordpress.org. Hopefully, it 'll be taken care of our team and won't happen again.

Regards.
