 * [1 month, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-central-stopped-sending-emails-events-tab-stopped-updating/#post-18946239)
 * Update as of June 23:
 * The issue is still ongoing.
 * Wordfence Central continues to receive new scan results and display new findings,
   including findings dated June 23.
 * However, the Events tab still contains no new scan events after June 15.
 * I have also still not received any Wordfence Central emails (Daily Digest or 
   Scan Finding notifications) since June 15.
 * At this point, the pattern remains consistent:
    - Findings continue to update.
    - Last Scan Date continues to update.
    - Events stopped updating on June 15.
    - Central email notifications stopped on June 15.
 * This makes it appear that scan data collection is still functioning, while Events
   and notification generation may not be.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Just to add more context to this thread:
 * This vulnerability was flagged by Patchstack ~7 days ago, and is now also being
   flagged by Wordfence for the same plugin version and issue.
 * Could the team confirm:
   – whether this is acknowledged– if a fix is in progress–
   or if this is considered a false positive
 * Given that multiple scanners are now flagging this, some clarification would 
   be appreciated.

 * Hi [@wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/)
 * Still looking for clarity here.
 * After another period of days with no alerts for this issue I received the same
   warning a couple of days ago (Alert generated at July 26, 2025 11:02am UTC) Despite
   the fact that nothing seems to have changed.
 * Wordfence confirms my current plugin version as the patched version. Still it
   alerts referring to a critical issue…
 * Any kind of help to provide some clarity would be appreciated. Thanks.

 * Hi [@wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/)
 * Thank you for following up, and sorry for the delay.
 * Just to clarify the timeline a bit:
 * When I first received the critical vulnerability warning, I had the _Instagram
   Feed Pro Personal_ version installed. Due to a license change on Smash Balloon’s
   end, I couldn’t update that version any longer, so I installed _Instagram Feed
   Pro Elite_ instead — version 6.8.1, which should be the patched one, and then
   removed the _Instagram Feed Pro Personal_ version.
 * After switching to the Elite version, Wordfence continued to flag the plugin —
   this time under the new name — still identifying a critical vulnerability. So
   it seemed like the scan had transferred the alert from the old Pro Personal version
   to the new Elite one, despite the latter using the patched version.
 * Interestingly, without any further changes on my end, the alert was suddenly 
   gone two days later — no more warnings and no trace in the scan results. So it
   looks like it may have resolved itself, possibly after updated signature data
   on your side?
 * Could this have been caused by overlapping slugs or naming conventions between
   the different “Pro” versions on Smash Balloon’s side — or something cached in
   the scan engine? Just speculating, but would love to hear your thoughts.
 * Thanks again for your help!
 * Best regards,

 * Hi [@wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/)
 * Thank you for your reply.
 * It’s a bit confusing with Smash Balloons all different names and slugs. Not very
   surprising if that messes things up.
 * Maybe I wasn’t clear enough but my plugin is:
 * Plugin Name: Instagram Feed Pro Elite
   Current Plugin Version: 6.8.1
 * Details: To protect your site from this vulnerability, the safest option is to
   deactivate and completely remove “Instagram Feed Pro Elite” until a patched version
   is available.
 * I don’t know if the Elite version is another plugin?
 * There was a free version still in place, when first scan ran that detected this
   vulnerability. Both Pro and Free was detected as critical. The Pro version is
   updated and the Free is uninstalled.
 * If the scan is locked with this info is it something I can clear to run a new
   scan?
 * Thanks!

   What might be causing this delay?

 * Thanks for your reply!
 * I’m not sure how to check that one the Site Health Screen. There is nothing telling
   me it’s not working.
 * Ran this test: Set up a page with a scheduled publish time. Page was published
   on that time. So, seems like wp-cron is working. Right?
 * I’m not sure what you mean with your second paragraph. What is expected, and 
   when?
 * I did receive the notifications earlier. But only 26 hours after activating. 
   Nothing from activation time until first alert was changed.
