@Michael I looked a bit but couldn't find cformsII, wpSEO, LinkLift, or Text-Link-Ad plugins in the WordPress org Plugin Directory. If these plugins are not there but elsewhere, I apologize but due to the vast number of plugins I must (at least for now) limit myself to only those that are at wordpress.og/extend/plugins/

I did find the antivirus plugin. Unfortunately when I tested version 0.2 an option named 'antivirus' apeared in the orphaned options list even though the plugin was installed and activated.

@zonebattler I found and checked the plugins, however

wp-ajax-edit-comments listed the 'WPAjaxEditAuthorUserOptions' and 'WPAjaxEditComments20' options

limit-login-attempts listed the 'limit_login_allowed_lockouts', 'limit_login_allowed_retries', 'limit_login_client_type', 'limit_login_cookies', 'limit_login_lockout_duration', 'limit_login_lockout_notify', 'limit_login_long_duration', 'limit_login_notify_email_after', and 'limit_login_valid_duration' options

wp-cache-inspect listed the 'wpci_settings' option

wp-widget-cache listed the 'widget_cache_settings' option

It is when options are listed as being orphaned when in fact they aren't that the "Alternate Syntax" warnings are most important. The information they provide is meant to help in identifying the options so they won't accidently be removed.

Sometimes a file uses alternate syntax, but no options associated with it appear in the orphaned options list. It is then that the plugin is "OK and safe to add to the ignore list"

I have been thinking about things, and although it seemed like a good idea, I now realize that maintaining an up-to-date list will be next to impossible.

However, I understand that seeing a bunch of Warnings all the time could be a problem too. So in the next version release I'll add a show/hide Alternate Syntax Warnings checkbox which should be an adequate solution.

I get warnings regarding the following (trustworthy) Plugins:

- WP Ajax Edit Comments
- Limit Login Attempts
- WP Cache Inspect
- WP Widget Cache
- AntiVirus

Thanks for putting them on the whitelist!

…all three absolutely trustworthy – have this problem. LinkLift's Plugins as well as the ones from Text-Link-Ads, too. They, however, appear under different filenames.
