wordpress 4.6.1

So far so good on about a dozen or so of my client sites!

When running a scan a few mins ago, I received the following message under the “New Issues” section.

Unknown WordPress core version: 4.6.1

I’m assuming that because the latest version of WordPress was just released, this message is nothing to be concerned about correct?

Thanks for making such a great product!

The rest of the message after running a scan should answer the question:

“The core files scan will not be run because this version of WordPress is not currently indexed by Wordfence. This may be due to using a prerelease version or because the servers are still indexing a new release. If you are using an official WordPress release, this issue will automatically dismiss once the version is indexed and another scan is run.”

It’s unfortunate that Wordfence did not index the new version before release as usual. My inbox is now filling with Wordfence Alerts, and clients are calling with questions because some of them also receive the alerts.

I am getting the error message on four of our sites now.

The bottom line is to get the WordFence up to date so we can move forward. Is there an ETA for a resolution? (the technical resolution, not the political one)

I got an email from WF also saying: Unknown WordPress core version: 4.6.1

I suppose it will get sorted soon. It looks like this WP version came fast with no pre-announcement.
I had no opportunity to see what the changes may have been so soon after 4.6 .

Thank you Acies, I too got this unusual message.
Came here to check and now feel much better.
Solution: wait
