 * Where it says “Alert me with scan results for issues of this severity level:”,
   if I have it set to low, will it send me an email alert for everything from low
   on up to critical severity?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Falerts-setting%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@geercom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geercom/),
 * Yes, it will send an email alert if it has at least the severity level selected.
 * I confirmed this by checking line 430 of `/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wfIssues.
   php`:
 * `if ($issueSeverity >= $level ...`
