Child Site wont connect to Dashboard

I have 10 sites that wont connect when adding site to dashboard. I turned off wordfence but thats not worked

Hi @3rdPixel

Can you please tell us what error messages you get when you try adding those sites?

And what result do you get for those sites when you perform Test Connection?

Lastly, can you please post the community system report from your MainWP Dashboard for review? The report is located in your Dashboard under Info → Server, on the top right of the page.

Thanks for the system report. Nothing in it stands out as an obvious issue.

  1. Can you please tell us what error message you get on the MainWP Dashboard when you try adding those sites?

  2. What results do you get for those sites when you perform Test Connection?

This site can not be reached! Please use the Test Connection feature and see if the positive response will be returned. For additional help, please review this Knowledgebase document, and if you still have issues, please let us know in the MainWP Community.

Connection test failed.

Error message: Connection timeout after 10004 ms

Thanks for the update.

This message indicates that the most likely cause is that a security rule present on the child sites is blocking the connection from the Dashboard.

Please try following the steps outlined in this help document and see if that helps:

Today all my websites disconnected except one website. All are on the same server like the WP Dashboard. How can I debug this? Never happend before. When I click reconnect, it shows successfully reconnected but it stays disconnected…

This issue doesn’t appear to be identical to the one being discussed here.

Please open a new thread here on Managers community forum, or open a private Help Desk ticket so we can collect some additional information & investigate further.
