    Just found another WF 7.2 annoyance. On the page where one accesses “Immediately block IPs that access these URLs” there is an enormous amount of white space, but the dialog box where one enters URLs is narrow, skinny, and results in longer URLs word wrapping and jumbling things up totally unnecessarily. Ver 6 dialog box is 200 characters wide. Why in the world did you guys change this? So strange. MTN

  • TOTALLY AGREE. I don’t like the new layout at all. I blocked a bunch of IP’s, refreshed the page, and the dot stays grey or yellow, but not red, as the key shows, blocked IP’s should have a red dot, so I don’t have to reopen them to find they are already blocked.

    The old layout was MUCH better than this, this is super annoying, and laborious now.

    BAD BAD, please go back to the old layout!!!

    They’ll never go back, but they’ll probably improve a bit though all surface evidence points in my opinion to a design culture that’s somehow way off the mark. Meanwhile, I’m really having second thoughts about why I’m not just using the free version, with an extra plugin or two to make up the difference. As a premium user, I feel like my money was very poorly utilized, on a worthless UI change instead of core improvements. MTN

    Agreed. I’m a free user, and backward UI changes do not inspire me to paid version. No reason to pay for plugins that frustrate.

    What’s funny, is that if you look at the comparison chart on the Wordfence website here are the only things they say you don’t get with the free version, with my comments after a number of years heavily using.

    Real-Time Threat Defense Feed (delayed a month with free version, but unless using all sorts of dodgy plugins doesn’t seem very useful as it eventually includes all sorts of stuff anyway).
    Country Blocking (I use it, but it’s taken me lots of time to get working, and a good plugin exists that actually does a better job in my opinion).
    Check if Site IP is Generating Spam (Useless for me.)
    Check if Site is Spamvertised (Useless for me).
    Cell Phone Sign In (Tried it, our users hated so we don’t use).
    Audit Existing Passwords (Useless if you create ok passwords).
    Advanced Comment Spam Filter (I had to turn off, all it did for me was make false positives and hide comments in my spam folder).

    What’s strange is this comparo doesn’t include scheduled scans, which I believe are not available in the free version, right?

    There is some weird WordPress forum rule about talking too much of paid software. I don’t know if talking about the free Wordfence version in this way violates that, if so apologies.
