    Hi !

    I succesfully use Wordfence on ~200 website with 4 cluster installations.
    This is why I do Wordfence scans only on 4 websites instead of 200.

    However, sometimes, automatic Wordfence scans starts without my will.
    All options are scheduled scans = off, however, a week ago I started to receive the:
    [Wordfence Alert] Problems found on *
    emails on all 200 websites.

    Can you explain me how to disable automatic scans for good ?
    I want to manage and handle that manually.

    Thanks

    @jdembowski sorry but what you write isn’t true …

    In the topic you deleted there was hours of work, analysis, data, we shared with the community and the plugin owner to help him troubleshoot the problem.

    We are talking about a top-level plugin used by 1 Million installations,
    I think that default options and choices/changes between it’s versions should be considered more carefully.

    We think that activating by default scans, if there is a bug that prevents them to be stopped is very dangerous and resource expensive.
    We are trying to understand why this happens.

    As I tought from the beginning,
    the problem was caused by some bugs (wrong options storage) in between Wordfence updates.

    Now that they passed to version 7.0.0,
    that was “mostly” rewritten,
    options are stored in different areas and our problems
    (continuos, daily self-DDoS attacks)
    stopped.

    It was enough to say “we are working on it” instead of blaming me,
    and closing my topics.
