Formatting bug in Wordfence email alerts

  • In your plugin’s emails with subject “[Wordfence Alert] Problems found on whateverdomain.com” there is a formatting bug – the emails are sent in HTML format, and so the first two links are plain text and not clickable (whereas the much less important “click to upgrade” link and the “unsubscribe” link are clickable). Please update your plugin so that the ” see the details of these scan results at: ” link and other links in this email are wrapped in “a href=” tags that will make them useful? Copy and pasting manually (especially when managing dozens of sites) is an absurd waste of time.

    Thanks!

    Specifically, please replace the %s character with <a href="%1$s">%1$s</a> on line 11 of ./lib/email_newIssues.php:

    <p><?php printf(__('See the details of these scan results on your site at: <a href="%1$s">%1$s</a>', 'wordfence'), wfUtils::wpAdminURL('admin.php?page=WordfenceScan')); ?></p>

    I cannot make these changes because it will trigger an integrity alert for WF and will be overwritten whenever automatic updates are applied.

    You may also want to check other locations where you generate urls for email message body content.

    Hi @vision-hive,

    Thank you for the suggestion! (and for pointing out the files and direct line numbers)

    I’ll bring this up with the Wordfence team, it does seem reasonable to have those links clickable.

    Hi again!

    There is still an ongoing ticket for this request (#FB665), I’ll update this thread once I get more information!

    But it looks like it’s chugging along!

    Dave
