    I am constantly getting the below message that wordfence cannot update.
    I have tried all the options mentioned on the given link, but none of them work.
    If it was just one site then I could deal with having to update manually, but I am having this issue on 10+ websites

    To preserve the integrity of your website we are not running Wordfence auto-update.
    You are running the LiteSpeed web server which has been known to cause a problem with Wordfence auto-update.
    Please go to your website now and make a minor change to your .htaccess to fix this.
    You can find out how to make this change at:

    Hi @lordsnake,

    If you’ve already made the changes to .htaccess, but the message does not go away:
    Can you try these steps to manually override the message?

    1. Go to Wordfence -> All Options -> General Wordfence Options
    2. Enable Bypass the LiteSpeed "noabort" check
    3. Save Changes

    For example: https://i.imgur.com/RtAldz2.png

    Note that if you did not properly make the changes in .htaccess, the next time your Wordfence updates, and LiteSpeed kills the update process, your site might be broken.

    In that situation, you’ll need to remove the Wordfence folder and reinstall Wordfence.

    That option is already checked, it doesn’t help.
