wordfence is no longer sending emails

  • Wordfence is no longer sending automated emails and warnings. Last email i received from it was on 17th April this year. After that we no longer received any notificatiuon about plugins needing an update or anything else really. I tried the send test email and it arrived ok. I also scanned site for being blacklisted, but it is not.

    The recipent emails are 2 gmail accounts. I checked the spam folders but there is nothing there.

    Othewrise the plugin appears to be working ok.

    Aside from Wordfence i also use Sucuri plugin, which is sending emails just fine upon plugin update. Unfortunately, that plugin doesn’t send warning that plugins need an update.

    It appears wordfence is sending emails that deal with intrusion attempts and similar (e.g. user blocked and such) but it doesn’t send me the alert that a plugin needs to be updated. What is wrong? is this feature no longer available?

    Hi gregor3001,

    Have you tried these steps? It is a good place to start but may not solve your problem. Let me know.

    Hello wflandon – i forgot to mention that i already did the blacklist scan and it passed well.

    As i mentioned – other email from wordfence arrives well (test e-mail, block info…). it’s only the “plugin needs an update” e-mail that does not arrive (or is perhaps not even sent?!). and i doubt this has something to do with the host.
