Wordfence MainWP plugin doesn’t seem to get the scan status.
Just to clarify a bit what my use case is here.
I actually use Wordfence Central to configure, monitor and automate scans but also the MainWP plugin to monitor the status of my sites. It seems that after a scan is done thru Wordfence Central or even locally the results are not updated within MainWP dashboard of the site (Security Scan tab). Even after Syncing.
Just wanted it confirmed if someone is having the same problem?
@rhoekman I believe this is the first time this has come up within your specific use case.
Can you please post the community system report from your MainWP Dashboard for review? The report is located in your Dashboard under Status → Server, on the top right of the page.
Be sure to use the button like the one below; this button hides all your private information:
Pressing the button auto-copies the report to your clipboard then just paste it in a reply here.

@rhoekman I tested WordFence Central out and it’s registering on my test environment on the “Security Scan tab”
This is probably not the answer that you will want to hear - but can we test resetting your Advanced settings back to defaults?
I get the same output, always nothing found in the Security Scan tab. But on Worddence Central it will show it has found something and when I login the Child site itself to check Wordfence scan results there it will also show up. It’s just that the MainWP is not picking up the results of the scan.
I’m not going to reset the advanced settings thru MainWP as these are production websites.
@rhoekman The advanced settings deals with your MainWP Installation not your child sites.
Please open an official Support - MainWP WordPress Management ticket so that we can help you further.
I found and resolved the issue.
I have AdGuard for macOS installed which acts as a system-wide proxy. Though I had whitelisted / disabled it for my MainWP instance it would still block the scan results. By disabling AdGuard the scan results appeared again.
My bad😬
@rhoekman Oh oh that’s a new one heh. Definitely going to have to remember this one. I’m glad it’s working now though! Thanks for keeping us updated.
