Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What versions of WordPress fix the security vulnerabilities patched in WordPress 7.0.2? WordPress 7.0.2, released July 17, fixes one critical and one high severity vulnerability that allowed code execution on a default install without logging in. Sites on 7.0.2, 6.9.5, or 6.8.6 are already patched; both flaws are listed in CISA's catalog of known exploited vulnerabilities, so checking Dashboard » Updates is recommended rather than assuming forced updates applied. _Anyone maintaining WordPress sites can track security releases like this one through daily.dev to avoid missing forced-update windows._ ### What does AIOSEO's new SEO Alerts feature actually monitor? SEO Alerts, introduced by All in One SEO, checks three things every hour: whether the homepage is set to noindex, whether robots.txt is reachable, and whether the XML sitemap is loading. Alerts can be sent by email or Slack, and the feature is free on every plan, including the free AIOSEO Lite version. _Site owners weighing SEO monitoring tools can follow updates like this on daily.dev before an issue costs search rankings._ ### What new capabilities did WPVibe add to its WordPress MCP server for AI assistants? WPVibe, built by SeedProd, added page builder integrations for Elementor, Divi, SeedProd, and Beaver Builder, AI-generated code snippets, persistent memory of site preferences, and AI-suggested automation recipes in the dashboard. It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, and Cursor, and has surpassed 5,000 active installs on WordPress.org. _Developers exploring AI-assisted WordPress management can follow tools like WPVibe as they evolve on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev -
