Original title: What’s New in Wordfence 9.1.0: Security News, Faster Rules and Smarter Alerts
Firewall parsing is tighter, rule checks are more frequent, and PHP 8.6 compatibility is included for every license.
Wordfence 9.1.0 is available to Free and Premium users. It adds a Security News Widget on WordPress and Wordfence dashboards, more frequent firewall rule checks, and request parsing meant to inspect malformed or nested input more like WordPress. Live Traffic now logs failed application-password and REST API logins, and administrators can set thresholds for WAF attack alerts.
- Premium firewall rules still arrive in real time; Free users wait 30 days.
- The news widget is on by default after updating to 9.1.0.
- Rich or Compact layouts are set under Wordfence Dashboard Global Options.
- The release also includes reliability fixes for unusual hosting environments.
