    My scans were running perfectly fine up to today. Now I’m getting a message saying

    “Scan Failed
    The current scan looks like it has failed. Its last status update was 5 mins ago. You may continue to wait in case it resumes or stop and restart the scan. Some sites may need adjustments to run scans reliably. Click here for steps you can try.”

    Can you assist thanks

    Hi @my2424u, sorry to see your scan is failing.

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

    • Kill the existing scan if it is still running (The “Start New Scan” button turns in to a “Stop” button while the scan is running)
    • Go to your Scan > Scan Options and Scheduling page and locate the “Performance Options”
      Set “Maximum execution time for each scan stage” to 20 on the options page
    • Click to “Save Changes”
    • Go to the Tools > Diagnostics page
    • In the “Debugging Options” section check the circle “Enable debugging mode”
    • Click to “Save Changes”.
    • Start a new scan
    • Copy the last 20 lines from the Log (click the “Show Log” link) or so of the activity log once the scan finishes and paste them in the post.

    On occasion, this fixes it straight away. That’s because adding 20 for the “Maximum execution time for each scan stage” tells the scan to pause every 20 seconds and start again where it left off. If this fixes the issue and scans run again, you can leave all the settings above except for “Enable Debugging Mode”.

    Thanks,

    Peter.

    Hi @my2424u, that’s great news, sometimes changing the execution time can reset the scan and kick it into action.

    If you have any further Wordfence questions in future, please start a new topic and we’ll be glad to help any time.

    Peter.
