Wordfence version 7.11.6 released today

Hello all! We have a new release for Wordfence today, version 7.11.6. Please update as soon as you are able.

• Improvement: Revised the strong password requirements notice to be more readable
• Improvement: Removed unnecessary calls for the plugin and theme vulnerability checks
• Improvement: Reduced the frequency of calls to Wordfence Central during some operations where the values do not need to be synced
• Improvement: Refactored some queries to avoid the automatic SHOW FULL COLUMNS queries that WordPress performs to verify database encodings
• Improvement: Infrequently-used config values are no longer automatically loaded into memory and instead loaded only on demand
• Fix: Fixed an issue where multisite installations using the WAF mysqli storage engine could repeatedly attempt to update WAF rules when not in optimized mode
• Improvement: Updated the bundled GeoIP database
• Change: Revised the formatting of TOTP app URLs to prioritize the site’s own URL for better sorting and display
• Fix: Fixed the last captcha column in the users page so it no longer displays “(not required)” on 2FA users since that no longer applies
• Fix: Added a check in wflogs/rules.php to only run when within the WAF’s bootstrap stage when hosted behind nginx
