Notification Bug

Hi @lear95, thanks for reaching out to us.

When you disable Wordfence > All Options > Dashboard Notification Options > Updates Needed (Plugin, Theme, or Core), they only stop appearing as part of the “Notifications” section on the Wordfence Dashboard. This in turn prevents them from adding to the number displayed in the circle next to “Dashboard” in your left-hand menu bar when something needs your attention.

You can set your email preferences to “High” or “Critical” alerts only under, “Alert me with scan results of this severity level or greater“. This would therefore alert you if a critical plugin update needs to be made due to security concerns with an older version. We do recommend that plugins are always kept up-to-date for security reasons, but you can also choose the “Ignore” option in your scan results to place them in a separate tab away from the results that require your immediate attention.

Thanks,

Peter.

That’s good to know, but still I would like my alert level to stay at medium, I just don’t consider a simple plugin update medium, also after an update I perform tests on the site, so I usually do it bi-weekly / whenever a large amount of plugins needs to be updated.

Is there a way to change the severity of this report? I would argue a plugin not updated for over 2-3 months is medium..
