    I’m having problems with my new Wordfence installation.

    My problem is the same as many other users in that the scan’s aren’t running to completion. About 10 seconds into the scan it just stalls and will stay that way till I manually kill it.

    I am on a litespeed web host, and have already followed the instructions here which didn’t have an impact. Although, as an interesting aside, wordfence is still giving me the following warning in options: “Warning: You are running LiteSpeed web server and you don’t have the “noabort” variable set in your .htaccess.” Though I followed the simple instructions without issues…

    That asides, I’ve also tried the instructions here.
    The instruction:
    Go to the bottom of Wordfence “diagnostics” page.
    Click the option to view your configuration.
    Look for max_execution_time
    Set the “Maximum execution time for each scan stage” to about 80% of that value. So if it’s 90, try setting the option to 75.
    Try another scan and see if that works.

    In “view your system’s configuration in a new window” I could find max_execution_time, but it was just a display in a table, not for editing. I’ve looked around but I can’t find the place to make changes to “execution time for each scan stage” that the instructions seem to be alluding to.

    Can someone please give me some more detail on where I can find this, or, if possible, help me to configure the plugin or my wordpress so that I can successfully run scans.

    As always, very grateful for any help.

    Luke

    Why is it that every time I post something I find the solution right after?

    So, the problem is fixed. I made the “Maximum execution time for each scan stage” enormous (100) and the scan completed without issues. A bit of a botch, but so long as it works…
