Plugin upgrade notifications

    Hi!

    Would it be possible for Wordfence to not throw an email notification before updating itself automatically?

    Medium Severity Problems:
    * The Plugin “Wordfence Security” needs an upgrade (7.4.0 -> 7.4.1).

    Essentially, if automatic update is enabled, there’s no reason to send this notification because the automatic update will fix this immediately after the message is sent.

    This causes a ton of “plugin needs an upgrade” messages every time a Wordfence patch comes out because I have Wordfence installed on a lot of systems. I love it.

    Naturally, if the automatic update has failed or isn’t enabled at all, it would be entirely reasonable to send this.

  • Hey @gtapsupport,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Typically, we’ll notify withing 24 hours of an available plugin, theme, or WordPress update. But I completely understand the redundancy. I can share this with the developers and suggest a whitelist for plugin updates that are scheduled automatically, or for other reasons.

    Please let us know if you have any other thoughts.

    Thanks,

    Hello @wfgerald good afternoon.
    That would be really useful.
    My mailbox is full, because I use “central” and I have over 80 connected sites

    Hey @gtapsupport,

    I just wanted to update you to let you know that I’ve filed a feature request for this. I don’t have a timeline on when/if it’ll be implemented, but the case number is 9115.

    Thanks,

    Gerroald

    @wfgerald Nice
