Three additions that keep an unprotected state from going unnoticed. An admin notice only helps someone who logs in; these make sure the protection comes back even when nobody does.
- Automatic repair — a daily check rewrites the rules when they are missing or outdated. If another plugin overwrites your
.htaccess, the protection returns before anyone notices. It can be turned off, and the time of the last repair is shown on the settings screen. - Site Health — a test under Tools → Site Health reports whether your uploaded media files are actually protected. An unprotected site is reported as a critical issue.
- WP-CLI commands —
wp medifence status/rewrite/remove/verify/share. Becausestatusexits with a non-zero status when the protection is not working, it fits straight into a post-deployment check.
Note that activation hooks do not run on a plugin update, so the plugin now compares the stored version on upgrade and schedules the daily check itself.
