Wordfence stores every scan finding in wp_wfIssues with companion tables like wp_wfHits for blocked-traffic events, wp_wfFileMods for file modification tracking, and wp_wfBlocks7 for the rolling block list. Each issue row carries a type (file, plugin, theme, option, scanFailure), a severity, a status (new, ignoreP, ignoreC, fixed), an ignoreP and ignoreC flag, a shortMsg, and a data blob with the full context. The default Wordfence Scan Results screen renders findings as a tabbed list, which is fine for an immediate response and becomes hard to coordinate across a week of work.

SleekView Kanban reads the same wp_wfIssues rows the Scan Results screen queries. Pick a derived wordfence_state field that buckets findings by severity, type, the ignoreP and ignoreC flags, and a triage workflow tag and every issue becomes a card grouped under Critical, Investigating, Quarantined, or Cleared. Card fronts can show the short message, the file or plugin name from the data blob, the severity, the type, and the timestamp so a lead can prioritize the queue without leaving WordPress.

Dragging a card between columns calls the Wordfence helper. A move from Critical to Quarantined writes an ignore flag and records the analyst. A move from Investigating to Cleared marks the issue as fixed through Wordfence's own API, which keeps the Scan Results screen and the kanban board synchronized. New scans continue to run on their schedule, and any new finding lands in Critical or in the appropriate column automatically.

Wordfence is excellent at producing findings and average at helping a team work through them. The Scan Results screen lists every issue grouped by type, which works when the team is responding to a single scan and falls apart when an investigation spans several days. Most teams end up keeping the actual triage state in a private Slack channel or a spreadsheet that lives outside Wordfence.

Within a week, the Slack channel becomes unsearchable and the spreadsheet drifts out of sync with the issues table. By the third week, the team cannot agree on which findings are still open, which are intentional false positives, and which were quietly cleared by the latest plugin update. A kanban view that reads and writes the same wp_wfIssues rows as the Scan Results screen keeps the security team and the source of truth aligned.

Critical findings surface immediately, Quarantined false positives carry documentation, and Cleared findings track the analyst and the fix instead of disappearing into a closed scan report.
