360 Orbit Security Digest

v1.0.17 · by Jörg Liwa

Replaces the constant update notices in wp-admin with a calm weekly digest email.

About this plugin

Security Digest solves a small but annoying problem: WordPress scatters update notices all over the admin area — as a small number in the menu, as a banner on every screen, as a separate entry in the plugin list. If you don’t open your site every day, they are easy to miss, and if you do, they keep interrupting you.

  • One digest email instead of constant notices: WordPress core, plugins and themes, each with the current and the new version.
  • Choose your own schedule: daily, weekly or monthly, plus weekday/time or day of the month.
  • Preview in the admin area before anything is sent.
  • Temporarily mute individual plugins in the digest (7/30/90 days).
  • Choose the digest language separately from the WordPress admin language.
  • “Send digest now” button for instant testing, including delivery diagnostics when sending mail fails.
  • Short sending history right in the admin area.
  • WP-CLI: send the digest or check its status, even outside of wp-admin.

Free version vs. Pro

The free version fully covers the weekly digest email to one recipient.

Security Digest Pro adds:

  • Multiple recipient addresses instead of just one.
  • An instant security alert when an update looks security-relevant — instead of waiting for the next digest.
  • A summary of completed automatic WordPress updates in the same history.
  • Automatic update notifications right in the WordPress admin area.
