Suggestion: Wordfence Activity Emails and Origin Site

    I have received more than twenty Wordfence activity emails today for various sites I manage for clients. However, it’s not immediately obvious which site each report is related to, I have to expand the address envelope on each to find out.

    In a future version, it would be great if the emails stated clearly in the email subject and at the top of the email body which site it was generated from.

    Add my vote for this. I have the same situation, as I guess a lot of developers would.

    I too vote for this change – please add my name to the list as well. When you manage multiple sites, you need to know in the SUBJECT of the email which site it pertains to. While I appreciate the new “report” and lovely look and feel, the old report was easier for me to determine site and quick action needed.

    I am having the same issue and I manage over 100 WordPress sites. Getting way too many emails and I don’t know which website it relates to. I don’t really want all these emails.

    One option may be to put “Monthly Summary” on the site itself. There is already a two-week summary that can be displayed from the “Screen Options” on the dashboard. Maybe a link to see the monthly activity will eliminate all the mail traffic. An additional nice touch may be an icon, a flag, something like a red disc next to Wordfence dashboard block to indicate that the monthly report is ready; of course the admin should be able to turn this off explicitly or implicitly by viewing the report.

    The other question is: Do users get any additional benefit from the monthly report.

    How do I made these emails stop? Since the update I keep getting them even after turning off the summary.

    1. How do we control these?
    2. Please put site name in subject!

    Count me in!! I’ve just found this page looking to solve this issue…

    EDIT: I thought this e-mail could be sent from one central server, that would discard repeating ocurrencies… Just a guess.
