Keep your sites’ Plugins and Themes Secure with Security Alerts

Last modified: September 11, 2025

With this feature, you can see detailed security alerts for the plugins and themes installed on your sites. You can view this information for each site or view an overview of all your sites in the account-level security alerts.

Site-Level Security Alerts

For each site, within the site’s settings page, under the WordPress section of the MyPressable Control Panel (MPCP), you will see this information. Any plugin or theme with known vulnerabilities will display a Security Issues button.
