 * Looks like (no fault of your own) the activation mail has gone to a dead place.
   Cannot see any re-send option, now in limbo.
 * Can the email be resent to [admin@haar.scot](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/activation-email-5/admin@haar.scot?output_format=md)
   please?
 * Thanks

 * Can you tell me what you were trying to activate? Within the plugin, you can 
   just change your email address in the Options page, but if you were signing up
   for the mailing list (either in the “tour” when first installing the plugin, 
   or on our site), or working with premium keys, let me know.

 * It was indeed during the initial tour. However, I thought that the plugin itself
   needed ‘activating’ and the reason that I thought this is that the scan would
   not work (start).
    I now realise that this is because of a force-login plugin
   I used – turn it off and the scan runs. However, I don’t want to turn this off–
   it’s a members-only, login-only site, and I’d prefer to not have to turn off 
   login ever. Any suggestions?
 * And yes, please add me to the mailing list, I can see no way to do this through
   aweber. Thanks.

 * Ok, we are checking on the email address for the mailing list.
 * I think the scanning issue will have to be fixed by the author of the Force Login
   plugin — it is blocking access to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, and sending a redirect
   to the login page. This URL is required for Wordfence scans to work (other plugins
   use this URL as well).
 * The Force Login plugin does have a way to whitelist URLs, but it looks like it
   only works with an exact URL:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-force-login/faq/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-force-login/faq/)
 * Wordfence uses ajax with several different parameters for different purposes,
   so I don’t think the whitelisting options on the FAQ will help. If the plugin
   author allows all URLs beginning with /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, I think it should
   work.

 * Thanks. I’ll try the whitelisting option but, as you say, with no option for 
   wildcarding …
 * Don’t suppose you’d have a full list of the parameters added in order to whitelist
   them individually?

 * I don’t have a full list (it would be quite long), and it may change with each
   release of Wordfence. Many of the URLs will also have parameters depending on
   your options, or blocked IP addresses, etc., or a one-time security key — so 
   there is not a way to whitelist all possibilities without a wildcard at the end.
 * The Force Login plugin author may be able to add the ability to use wildcards,
   or just make the plugin automatically whitelist anything starting with /wp-admin/
   admin-ajax.php since various plugins use that for different purposes.
 * The forum for Force Login looks to be fairly active, and the author has posted
   code for users with other questions, so you could ask about the wildcards for
   admin-ajax.php there:
