Can’t Update WordPress Version

Hi @marcksevan, thanks for your message.

When you state that Wordfence scans are buggy, what precisely is happening? If you see messages in your scan log that can illustrate what might be happening we can try to troubleshoot as failing may have a different cause to timing out, for example.

When you try to repair or delete files, are these on high or critical level warnings? We always recommend making site backups before attempting those, but are you seeing behavior where the files are deleted and come back, or do they fail to remove with specific warnings/errors?

You can paste log information here, and/or include screenshots if appropriate using the upload function here on the forums or an external site such as Snipboard.

Thanks,
Peter.
