 * I’m getting this message when editing recipes:
 * “WooCommerce Square: It looks like your site does not support background processing,
   which means large numbers of products may not sync successfully with Square. 
   Read more here on how to resolve this.”
 * Our dev checked but we don’t have any restrictions on background processing, 
   we don’t understand why this message is showing up.
 * We have WordFence installed but there are no signs of that being the cause.

 * Hi there [@romano117](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romano117/),
 * We’ve seen such issues with WordFence, so can you please test with it completely
   disabled?
 * You can also ask your host to check what they see for GET requests to `https://
   yourdomainname.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wc_square_background_sync_test`(
   change yourdomainname.com), it may help with troubleshooting.
 * If the issue persists, could you please share a copy of your site’s System Status?
   You can find it via WooCommerce > Status.
    Select “Get system report” and then“
   Copy for support”.  Once you’ve done that, paste it here in your response in 
   coding brackets.
 * Cheers!

 * Thank you [@treibalen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/treibalen/), I will
   definitely try this out if it happens to be WordFence what’s your recommendation?
   which security plugin doesn’t have conflicts with the background processing of
   Square?

 * Hi there [@romano117](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romano117/),
 * This is the correct response for the URL:
 * ⌊Square loopback⌉⌊Square loopback⌉

 * While yours is `0`.

 * Keep us posted on that! I’d recommend reaching WordFence if that’s the case, 
   they should be able to direct you towards the solution.
 * As for other plugins, we can’t vouch for third-party extensions so you can try
   different ones and see which one works for you the best.
 * Cheers!
