Changelog

2.0.18

  • IMPROVED: “Run all security scans” now triggers the full scan (Security Tests + Core Scanner + Malware Scanner) on the child site regardless of the Scheduler setting. Sync the site again after running to see updated results in the dashboard.
  • IMPROVED: Per-site Security Ninja tab redesigned with clear section cards (Vulnerabilities, Security Tests, Core Scanner, Malware Scanner), short summaries, last-run times, and optional “View details” collapse for a cleaner, responsive layout.
  • IMPROVED: Malware Scanner details (file list) on the per-site tab are now shown only for Pro users; free users see last run and summary with an upgrade notice.
  • IMPROVED: Output escaping and sanitization throughout (human_time_diff, version strings, and dynamic content) for consistency with WordPress coding standards.
