The Plugin “Whatever” needs an upgrade (3.16.3 -> 3.16.3)

    Hello Humans,

    Wordfence sends out emails with problems on websites. This is fine. (Well apart from this, which also affects WordPress updates themselves)

    I have a plugin which does not allow auto updates for reasons I don’t understand (WP Rocket).

    So what I did is to write myself a script that updates said plugin on all sites using WP CLI.

    wp plugin update wp-rocket --path=/var/www/html/example.com/

    This seems to work fine – apart from the fact that Wordfence senses a “medium severity problem”:

    The Plugin “WP Rocket” needs an upgrade (3.16.3 -> 3.16.3)

    And I don’t think this _is_ a problem because it is updated, as the message also states.

    Question now is, is that a Wordfence problem or a WP CLI problem?

    Hi @alduinwf, thanks for getting in touch with us.

    The scenario you’ve mentioned is currently an active development request as we’re aware scans will sometimes run and detect outdated plugins before auto-updates have had a chance to run. This will often depend on the quantity of traffic to the site triggering WP Crons. The scan will detect outdated plugins at the start, but by the end of the scan WordPress (or your script) has already updated them, so show the same version number by the end.

    Sometimes setting Wordfence > All Options > Email Alert Preferences > Alert me with scan results of this severity level or greater to “Critical” could reduce alerts that you don’t need to be immediately aware of.

    Our changelog is the best place to keep an eye on changes in new plugin versions as we’re unable to update customers on development progress here on the forums.

    Thanks,
    Peter.
