    Hi,

    Same problem as lots of others have mentioned.. you hit “Scan Site” and all that happens is that the spinner appears and spins for a few seconds and then disappears.

    Nothing else happens.

    Is this plugin meant to do something? It seems like it’s not working anymore.

    (I’m not with WP Engine but a local hosting company)

    Update… It’s working fine now Hooray!

    Ok so what was going on was I was testing this on a test localhost site and NOT a live site.
    As the test site had no public traffic (I assume the issue) then it wouldn’t run the test.

    Once I used a live site (exactly the same site just with the updated DNS) it worked fine!

    You are 100% correct, the WordPress cron won’t run if the site doesn’t have traffic.

    Hm,
    So how do I test a site running on a localhost?
    Kind of moment 22 here, I need to test the site for php7.2 compatibility before it goes live and from what I read here, the site needs to be live in order for the plugin to work?

    Here’s what I did for a site let’s just call it : http://mysitezz.com

    mysitezz.com = a production site that has DNS records that point it to the production server.
    But I made a copy of it on another server for testing, and edited my hostfile on my PC so that I can get to that test site.

    I installed the plugin on the test site and the spinning icon came up for a few seconds then disappeared.

    So I edited my test server’s hostfile to say : 127.0.0.1 mysitezz.com

    I re-ran the plugin, and now it ran to completion and I get results…
