Wordfence Won't Finish

Can you do the following so I can get the information I need to help you?

• Set “Maximum execution time for each scan stage” to 15
• Check the box to “Disable config caching”
• Check the box to “Enable debugging mode”
• Save the options page.
• Start a new scan
• Copy the last 10 lines or so of the activity log and paste them here

I’m really hoping I read that wrong and your user name isn’t admin. If it is, you should change that.

The scans make take a while so leave the settings in place and refresh the screen periodically. Send the last ten lines after it has been stopped for a while and a screen refresh doesn’t show any new activity.

Is this more like it?

It looks like it finishes now. The gzinflate error is common for wordpress. We’re just reporting the presence of it.
