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

[ad_1]

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 :–)
