Theme/plugin scan skips after being enabled

    When I run a scan, it says
    Skipping theme scan Disabled [Visit Options to Enable]
    Skipping plugin scan Disabled [Visit Options to Enable]

    even after I enabled it in the options. I tried enabling Disable config caching as well, but still am seeing the skipping theme and plugin scans in the Scan Summary.

    How do I get theme/plugin scans completed with a free license?

    On the options page, can you enable the javaScript Console? Look for errors in red and let me know what they are (screenshots work best).

    also, do you have any caching plugins other than ours running?

    Thanks for your help.

    I just ran another scan and received 2 errors – one I restored the original file, and the other is in the screenshot with JavaScript Console here: http://s12.postimg.org/4muokma4t/wordfence_screen.jpg

    I’m also running W3 total cache.

    Can you try disabling google analytics for wordpress and seeing if that allowed you to make the change?

    Also, can you use the javascript console on the options page where you try to save the scan plugins and themes options.

    Thanks. Disabling the plugin seemed to help. However, still getting 2 errors from WordFence – what should I do about this?

    Can you zip your wordfence folder up and email it to me tim [at] wordfence.com. That file is where it should be but I can’t see how its being flagged so I want to test with it. I just tried a scan wit the latest version of wp and wf and it didn’t flag the file.

    For now, just to be safe, delete the plugin from the server, and completely reinstall it. Run a scan afterwards and let me know how it does.

    I had actually deleted the plugin and reinstalled it (through the WP admin panel), as well as manually replaced that file yesterday and the errors were still showing up.

    However, I just logged in and the error is gone – let me know if you’re still interested in seeing the zipped plugin files.

    Thanks for your help; marking topic as resolved.
