I don't use W3TC. Do the filenames follow a specific naming convention? If so, then you can use: "Exclude files from scan that match these wildcard patterns. Comma separated." I don't know if this...

My wild guess is that the Wordfence server was overloaded and couldn't respond to your request. Is this happening all the time?

Other posts indicate this could be your server running out of allocated memory. How much memory is allocated for your website? This is found via the Server Settings link at the bottom of your Options...

After your scan, is it flagging a bunch of Problem Found files? My Scan screen's New Issues tab is empty since there aren't any issues, though the Bulk Operation buttons are still there. Nothing to...

Thanks Sdayman. My New Issues Tab shows more than 500 original files modified. I've made more than 5 clean-ups before. Reinstalled Wordpress, etc. Many of them may be original files changed but I'm...

Hi sdayman, There is no other security or caching plugin. To be sure that no other plugin is disturbing I have disabled them and tried it again. No success! I think you mean "wfcache" instead of...

It could be that there are too many for Wordfence select all at once. 500 is a lot of files. Are they all over your site, or just plugins and/or themes? Why are you trying to delete them instead of...

I'm on Dreamhost and use Cloudflare. I use the plugin. I still think you should and don't see why you wouldn't. Dreamhost got me up and running on Cloudflare, but I don't think they do any special magic.

Do you have any other sites with Wordfence? I think if you turn on debugging, you see the curl command. I'd try to manually run that curl command from the command line on your server to see what...
