“[NinjaFirewall] Security ” emails

    Hello, I am hoping that there is some way to stop receiving the “NinjaFirewall security rules have been updated” emails.

    Ideally I’d just like to receive a notification if these fail to update.

    I apologize if I’ve overlooked it, but couldn’t find a setting for this, and couldn’t find any info about it when googling. I already have the daily activity reports disabled.

    By seeing tons of these emails every day from many sites, I am desensitized to them, and I doubt if one was an error instead of a success that I would even notice.

    Thanks a bunch in advance

    You can disable the notification from the “Security Rules” page.

    @zeilbauer : It is the “Send me a report by email when security rules have been updated” option in the “Security Rules > Rules Update” tab.

    Ya, this doesn’t work. I’ve disabled it on all my sites and I still get flooded with [NinjaFirewall] Security rules update every morning.

    @wyohost : paste this code into a file, named it test.php, upload it into your website root folder and go to https://your-website/test.php. It will show if notifications are enable or not:

    <?php
header('Content-type: text/plain');
require 'wp-config.php';
$nfw_options = get_option('nfw_options');
if (! empty( $nfw_options['notify_updates'] ) ) {
	$status = 'enabled';
} else {
	$status = 'disabled';
}
printf( 'Security rules update notifications are %s for %s', $status, home_url('/') );
exit;

    I have no desire to go look at 18-20 sites with this plugin to test your code.
    What I can do is show you the exact settings on ALL those sites and the emails I receive every morning.

    [Edit]
    So, after looking at it a bit more…. I find ANOTHER notification setting NOT in with the NOTIFICATIONS. How freaking crazy is that? A SPECIFIC area for EVENT NOTIFICATIONS… And ANOTHER notification HIDDEN elsewhere.

    Shit… What an ANNOYING WASTE OF TIME!!!

    Hidden?

    No it’s not hidden, it’s straight forward to me. But you could consider adding it and to an option to events tab. All notifications settings to one page. It might be more useful for gui end user.

    @christef : the “Event Notifications” page is only for notifications that do not have their own menu/page, hence we don’t use it for the security rules. Having to switch back and forth between different pages to configure an option and it notification would be very confusing IMHO. “File Guard”, “File Check”, “Webfilter” etc, all follow this rule too. And as mentioned in my previous message, how to turn the corresponding notification off is indicated in the email message.
