    Hi,

    I keep getting a notification saying my scan time limit has exceeded. I keep logging into my website and changing the scan settings, selecting standard scan and saving. However I keep getting the email notification a couple of days later, and my scan settings have reverted back to limited scan. This has happened several times now, is there something I’m doing wrong?

    Hi, is anyone able to help?

    if you are 123-reg or Heart they are resetting the settings at host level to stop server overload on shared hosting packages. I have lots of sites at 123-reg and they have told me this. I am currently trying to get them to advise on what settings I can adjust to that will allow a basic scan to run but be OK on the shared servers. I have also asked Wordfence whether they have any good ideas on my own thread on this forum

    which is here:

    I posted something similar (or sounds like it) with regard to a shared host on GoDaddy. I think Heart is now owned by GoDaddy so this could be the reason why I had two site breaks caused by Wordfence last weekend on GoDaddy. I posted it here on this forum. I am going to investigate but thanks singingcyclist.

    Hi @stephinseattle,
    I believe the failing plugin updates on GoDaddy are a separate issue from the scan problems on Heart hosting. GoDaddy do have some specific configurations that may be related to those issues, but they are not setting options on Wordfence scan or anything like that.

    @macpheek, your issues definitely sound like the one described in the thread @singingcyclist linked to. Your host is setting Wordfence options in a way that makes the scan stop.

    Hi @macpheek,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while. We believe that this issue can be resolved by speaking with your hosting provider.

    I’ve gone ahead and marked this thread as resolved. Please feel free to open another thread if you’re still having issues with Wordfence.

    Thanks!
