Information: Safety & Support
Resources here are generally safe, but false positives may occur on Virustotal due to certain coding techniques. Exercise caution and test before use. Consider buying licenses to support developers. Your security is our priority.
Improvement: Improved error handling and messaging for some responses from our servers
Improvement: Added messaging when a site may be using the same free license shared among multiple sites because it can cause the sites to use the same scan schedule rather than spreading out the load
Improvement: Updated the readme content and formatting
Improvement: Added support for hosts relocating the WAF’s auto-prepend file via the constant/envvar WORDFENCE_WAF_PREPEND_DIRECTORY
Improvement: Added detection for non-repo plugins and themes to avoid the scanner reporting changes when the same slug + version exists within the wordpress.org repo
Improvement: Messaging for Central disconnections now better reflects the user making the change
Improvement: Scan errors due to unreachable Wordfence servers will now provide a link to our status page to check for outages
Improvement: Reduced the number of network calls created to sync scan issues when updates are performed in bulk

Change: Revised some help text related to the audit log to be more clear
Fix: Improved audit log compatibility with some plugins that would cause excessive noise due to their behaviors around setting up user roles and capabilities

Improvement: Introduced the Wordfence Audit Log, a new premium feature to monitor all changes and actions in security-sensitive areas of the site with remote tamper-proof data storage via Wordfence Central
Change: Increased the minimum supported WordPress version to 4.7
Change: Increased the minimum supported PHP version to 7.0
Fix: Revised the behavior of the reCAPTCHA verification to use the documented expiration period of the token and response to avoid sending verification requests too frequently, which could artificially lower scores in some circumstances
Fix: Addressed PHP 8 deprecation notices in the file differ used by file changed scan results
Fix: Reduced the frequency of Wordfence Central status update callbacks in sections of the scan that occur quickly in sequence
Change: CAPTCHA verification when enabled now additionally applies to 2FA logins (may send an email verification on low scores) and no longer reveals whether a user exists for the submitted account credentials (credit: Raxis)
Fix: Addressed a potential PHP 8 notice in the human/bot detection AJAX call
Fix: Addressed a potential PHP 8 notice when requesting a lockout unlock verification email
Fix: Fixed the emailed diagnostics view not showing the missing table information when applicable
