Email Digest for File Changes Detected unclear

  • Below is the email digest I get for my sites.

    The wording of the following line is unclear. I checked the logs and there were no file changes.

    “File changes detected: iThemes Security detected file changes on your system.“

    Site is running version 4.4.18 of iThemes Security.

  • Exact same problem … the email isn’t helpful without the detailed view

    I would love if the daily digest emails were more useful too.

    A list of what users have been locked out and a list of the files that have changed, same as we see in the non-digest version.

    Right now the digest email is useless as it doesn’t really tell you anything so I’ve had to turn off the digest email and now my inbox is flooded with emails with site lockout notifications and file change notifications for 30+ sites that I monitor.

    Hi All,

    Thanks for the feedback. I’ve shared this with the developer.

    @radmoose – Could you update to v4.4.20 and see if that helps?

    Thanks,

    OK, I have updated to 4.4.20

    I will let you know the outcome next time I get some digest emails.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Upgraded and no changes. Still no detail and getting multiple copies

    The incident I reports is not the same as others have reported.

    Please do NOT hijack another thread unless it is the same issue.

    I agree that it would be more useful with additional information lines however that was not the issue reported.

    My issue was the unclear File Changes Detected line.

    Updated to 4.4.20.

    It does disappear when there are no changed.

    When it does appear, I would expect to see a number, not just that there were file changes.

    I suggest those that want to see more detailed listing post their own thread so it can be properly addressed.

    Thank you Gerroald for the update info.
