Can’t add sites to WordFence Central

    I’m trying to add my sites to WordFence Central. I’m not using Cloudflare. After I type in the URL (without the slash at the end) and click Add, I see the message “You’ll be taken to your site to complete setup.” and “Checking connection…”, but nothing happens.

    My /wp-admin/ directory is password protected via the .htaccess file, so I’m assuming that is probably the issue. Is there any way around this w/out manually disabling the protection on all the sites? And if that is not the cause, any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Hi @bcarney,

    When Wordfence Central adds your site, it will need to be able to ping /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.

    What can do is add a whitelist Wordfence central’s IP address within your .htaccess file.

    Can you add the <RequireAny> below your authentication declaration?

    For example, it may look like this:

    AuthType Basic
AuthName "Protected Area"

<RequireAny>
    Require 54.68.32.247
    Require valid-user
</RequireAny>
