NinjaFirewall readme.txt

    Hi!
    This is a minor thing, but it’s consistent.

    I use NinjaFirewall and Wordfence together on a number of sites. Whenever there is a new NinjaFirewall update applied, the Wordfence Scan reports that the NinjaFirewall readme.text is different than what is in the WordPress repository. When I do a compare, the reported WP repository version is the one that should have been installed with the new NF version.

    Is there some reason that the readme.txt file doesn’t get updated along with the rest of the NinjaFirewall files?

    Hi,

    What difference(s) did you notice between the two readme.txt?

    During an update, WordPress deletes all the plugins files, and installs the new one instead, hence there should not be any difference.

    Sorry… I needed a NinjaFirewall update to capture the difference.

    And actually… For this one it seems backwards from what I was saying… The site has the new readme.txt version and Wordfence is reporting that the “original” version is the previous. i.e….
    * * * * *
    The Original Version of the file
    line 6 – Stable tag: 1.8.2

    The Modified Version on your WordPress system
    line 6 – Stable tag: 1.8.3
    * * * * * *
    In this case it appears that Wordfence has not yet updated their copy of NinjaFirewall in the WP repository. So I’d expect that at some point Wordfence would catch up and the “error” would go away. I’ll watch to see that that is the case.

    That being said, I’m sure that I have seen the opposite – with the “repository” version being the newer. I will keep and eye out and if I find an occasion of that being the case, I’ll report back…

    There are approximately 1 or 2 minutes between the time we upload the new release and the time we adjust the readme.txt to match the latest release. That seems to be the issue.
