Excluding directories from scanner not working

    Hi,

    I am trying to exclude some directories from scanner but whatever I do, it doesn’t work and I keep receiving huge reports that including subfolders.

    For example, here are my exclusion settings:
    /srv/users/ny3/apps/ny3/public/wp-content/aiowps_backups/*
    /srv/users/ny3/apps/ny3/public/wp-content/backups-dup-pro/*
    /srv/users/ny3/apps/ny3/public/wp-content/uploads/wpallexport/exports/*
    /srv/users/ny3/apps/ny3/public/wp-content/cache/*

    I also tried without the “*” but I get the same result.

    1. Am I suppose to use “*” to exclude all subfolders?
    2. Any idea why nothing seems to work in directory exclusions?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Can you try using relative file paths, for example: wp-content/aiowps_backups/

    Hi,

    For now, this isn’t working at it’s driving me crazy to be honest, with all these cache files popping up.

    Is the use of “*” correct?
    My ignore settings are as follows now:
    /wp-content/aiowps_backups/*
    /wp-content/backups-dup-pro/*
    /wp-content/uploads/wpallexport/exports/*
    /wp-content/cache/*

    Hi, try adding a directory without adding the forward / at the beginning. For example: wp-content/aiowps_backups

    Or simply adding the directory without and slashes. For example: aiowps_backups

    Let us know if the above helps you.

    Regards.
