Hi Tim.
Thank you for the quick reply AND follow up! Sorry I couldn't reply sooner.
My host emailed back telling me there is no block on the Wordfence site/url - plugin. I sent them the error message.
Yes I did try the "deactivate' check-mark - uninstall, it didn't work.
As stated above, I'm not sure how important it is to get the API to connect as the plugin seems to function properly - And the error comes and goes.
At any rate, I have the 5.2.1 and I wish to have the updated 5.2.2 but I don't want to update with the current problem.
So I'm going to delete the WF Congig and Cashe file and all other WF files in my WP-Content folder. Then download the newer version. And hopefully that'll give me the newer version with a new key and the API should then work and I'll then be updated as well. The only pain with that is in-putting all the Advanced blocks that's currently in place.
Hope you approve of the plan. The option you suggested didn't work, nor did it work when I changed servers (host) WF still had all the config info from previous host and couldn't preform scans. Deleting all the files from WP-Content was the only thing that worked. Getting it set-up all over again is time consuming, but worth it to me to have this awesome plugin. I love watching live traffic it has helped me tremendously getting real time views of 301's and visitor geography and so much more, to help maintain and improve my site not to mention the awesome security. The security features and blocking features have saved my xxxx.
Thanks Tim!
