the-abcI	Background of the issue: I am trying to run a scan using Wordfence and encountered an issue related to the Sticky Links plugin. Symptoms: The Plugin "Sticky Links" appears to be abandoned (updated August 20, 2020, tested to WP 6.7.2). It was last updated 4 years 7 months ago and tested up to WordPress 6.7.2. It may have compatibility problems with the current version of WordPress or unknown security issues. Questions: Why is the Sticky Links plugin causing an error during the Wordfence scan? Is the Sticky Links plugin compatible with the current version of WordPress?
