Feature Request: Don’t make auto-update plugins a problem

    Hello Humans,

    I have a little feature request. Wordfence is flagging a plugin that needs an update a problem. Which is fine.

    But it should not flag it a problem when auto-update is enabled and the auto-update has not yet run (because it’s scheduled for in a few hours). Because it’ll turn into a non-problem by then and the mail was sent for nothing.

    For example, “Redis Object Cache” got an update tonight. And now I get a ton of mails with new “problems” on the sites which only say Redis needs an update. But by the time I click the Link to WordfenceScan, the auto-update already ran and so it’s no problem at all.

    So maybe it could be implemented in a way that Wordfence checks if the plugin needs an update and auto-update is on, and if so, maybe put it into a grace queue, waiting for however many hours (12 maybe?) and check if the version changed as expected. If so, cool. If not, it should raise a problem. Because maybe a license key for a commercial plugin expired or whatever.

    Thank you for listening and thank you for your hard work with this plugin :–)

    Hi @alduinwf,

    This area is currently an active development request. We’re always happy to look into the feasibility of changing or adding features based on customer feedback, so I’ve linked this topic to the team for further discussion internally. Unfortunately, I can’t provide progress reports or potential release schedules here on the forums.

    Thank you for the feedback, and please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns!

    Thanks,
    Margaret
