    Wordfence scanning was all working fine, all of a sudden it started showing the below error. I have reinstalled the plugin, but it doesnt fix the issue.

    This is the error I am getting

    Scan Engine Error: The signature on the request to start a scan is invalid. Please try again.

    Below is the last 20 lines of log after enabling debug mode

    Hi @farisma, thanks for providing your scan log information.

    I’ve primarily seen the “The signature on the request to start a scan is invalid” message on sites where a cache-clear, and in some cases a reinstall of the Wordfence plugin fixed it.

    I would certainly try clearing any caching plugins or caches associated with your site outside of WordPress first though.

    Thanks,
    Peter.

    Thank you for the reply @wfpeter I tried reinstalling with a new license key but it dint work, Later on I restored to an old copy of the website to resolve the issue. I am using wp total cache plugin, would that cause any issue like this?

    @wfpeter after doing bit of play around, I figured out that change wp admin login plugin is causing the error. After disabling the plugin it worked. But I need that plugin to be there in the website. Can you please recommend any solution?
