    ..and with a few much-requested features included and some important fixes.
    Here’s the changelog:

    5.0.7
    Feature: Immediately block IP if hacker tries any of the following usernames. (Comma separated list that you can specify on the Wordfence options page)
    Feature: Exclude exact URL’s from caching. Specifically, this allows you to exclude the home page which was not possible before.
    Feature: Exclude browsers or partial browser matches and specific cookies from caching.
    Fix: Fixed issue where /.. dirs would be included in certain scandir operations.
    Fix: logHuman function was not analyzing user-agent strings correctly which would allow some crawlers that execute JS to be logged as humans.
    Fix: Removed ob_end_clean warnings about empty buffers when a human is being logged.
    Fix: Removed warning in lib/wfCache.php caused by unset $_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’] when we check it.
    Fix: Fixed “logged out as ”” blank username logout messages.
    Fix: Improved security of config cache by adding a PHP header to file that we strip. Already secure because we have a .htaccess denying access, but more is better.
    Fix: Falcon Engine option to clear Falcon cache when a post scheduled to be published in future is published.
    Fix: Fixed Heartbleed scans hanging.

    I updated to Wordfence 5.0.7 today.
    When I click to start a scan, nothing happens.

    @heartharmony Glad you like it!

    @djlinden Please start a new thread and we’ll get that fixed.

    Another upgrading problem.

    I’m getting this message:

    “Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordfence.5.0.7.zip…

    Unpacking the package…

    Installing the plugin…

    Could not copy file. /home/publdsdy/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/readme.txt

    Plugin install failed.”

    Any idea why? I already deleted the folder using Filezilla but it still isn’t fixed. I’ll try installing from the zip file.

    UPDATE: So, I deleted the files again from the server, and uploaded the .zip folder. Guess what? It worked fine. Only the directly-installed from WordPress file seems to be problematic.

    I had this problem in the past (I think with 5.0.4) as well.

    Sounds like a file permissions issue.

    Regards,

    Mark.
