  That applies to WordPress.ORG software installs.
  Why are you posting that here at WordPress.COM?

  Just wanted to make sure it is nothing I need to worry about. Do you know what is the difference in the .org or .com ?

  You failed to provide a URL so I could not provide a site specific answer above. If you have a blog hosted by WordPress.COM relax.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you are referring to a WordPress.ORG software install and don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
