Title: Duplicated scans Last modified: August 16, 2026 --- # Duplicated scans * Resolved [7thcircle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/7thcircle/) * (@7thcircle) * [3 weeks, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicated-scans/) * I have your plugin running on 16 sites. I have each of those sites set to scan every Sunday at a certain window of time (4 to 6 AM). The sites run a scan during that time, and then run several more scans. As of right now, which is 9 hours from the initial scan I see 72 scans across 16 sites. Last week it was over 100 scans.

Could you please let us know if you are using the Cloud or Local version? * Have you tried rescheduling the scan to see if that fixes the problem? This could be due to a conflict; something is triggering the scan multiple times. * Kind Regards Amin * Thread Starter [7thcircle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/7thcircle/) * (@7thcircle) * [3 weeks, 3 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicated-scans/#post-18995725) * I am running the cloud scans and I have tried changing the scheduled time. * FYI, the numbers I have were in accurate. The total came to 147 scans for 11 sites over 16 hours. * Plugin Support [Saurabh – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support7/) * (@wpmudev-support7) * [3 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicated-scans/#post-18997032) * Hello [@7thcircle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/7thcircle/), * Thank you for sharing further information, could you please confirm if you recently updated the scheduled scan time? And if the results were still the same? * I noticed that the scans were happening based on schedule until 2nd August, however, after that starting 9th August, I noticed the scans were indeed happening multiple times on the same day. Do you recall any specific change made to the site between the 2nd August to 9th August timeframe? Like updating the schedule or changing any specific setting on the website related to Cronjobs? * Further, to investigate why this could be happening, your sites, for example [http://www.7thcirclxxxxx.com](http://www.7thcirclxxxxx.com) (masked url) & [http://www.attoxxxxx.com](http://www.attoxxxxx.com)( masked url) would it be possible for you to install the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/) plugin and then review the crons? * Please make sure to back up both sites before installing the WP Crontrol plugin as a safety measure Or perform the test on the staging site. Once done, and after the WP Crontrol plugin is installed, please check the BLC crons as shown in the screenshot here [https://shottr.cc/s/3703/SCR-20260819-k1ep.png](https://shottr.cc/s/3703/SCR-20260819-k1ep.png) * Delete the cron job. Once done, the BLC plugin, if active on your website, will recreate it. Please then monitor the next scheduled scan results for those sites. * Please let us know how it goes. * Kind Regards, Saurabh * Thread Starter [7thcircle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/7thcircle/) * (@7thcircle) * [3 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicated-scans/#post-18997600) * Crontrol is active on all of my sites. I will clear the job and test the run this weekend. * Every site has had changes due to plugin updates but the only thing consistent across them is the update to WP 7.0.3 on August 6 and the update to v2.4.11 of BLC from v 2.4.9 on Aug 8. * Several of the sites also had the update to v2.4.9 from v2.4.8 on Aug 5. * Thread Starter [7thcircle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/7thcircle/) * (@7thcircle) * [2 weeks, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicated-scans/#post-19000733) * After deleting the cron job and waiting your plugin never recreated the job on its own. I resaved the schedule and it appeared and ran. After it ran, it stayed as a past due cron job until I deleted the job again. * Plugin Support [Fida – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fidawpmudev/) * (@fidawpmudev) * [2 weeks, 2 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicated-scans/#post-19002181) * Hello [@7thcircle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/7thcircle/) , * I hope you are doing well, and thank you for the update. * Are you still facing the multiple duplicate scans issue?
