Receive alerts only when logged in as admin

  • Hello Wordfence Support

    I am using the free version of Wordfence for about a month or so and what I’ve observed is that I get Wordfence alerts only when I login to my admin account.

    I receive no alerts from Wordfence for the time I am not logged in to my WordPress admin account.

    I would like to receive the alerts even when I am logged out of my admin account.

    I was hoping to get some help on it.

    Thank you.

  • Administrators are the only ones that can receive alerts on the admin screen. This is by design.

    Hello Tim, thanks for your reply.

    In the Wordfence options it asks for “Where to email alerts:” in the Basic Options, isn’t Wordfence also supposed to send alerts to the admin’s email address?

    In my original post when I said “I receive no alerts from Wordfence for the time I am not logged in to my WordPress admin account.” I meant to say that I receieve no alerts from Wordfence for the time I am not logged in to my WordPress admin account. Sorry about the confusion.

    Should an admin not be getting those alerts on his email address even if he/she is not logged in to the WordPress admin account?

    Thank you.
