 * Hi Guys
 * I’d like to exclude the following location from the Scanner but I’m not having
   any luck.
 * This is the entry I’m putting in the section called “Files/Directories To Ignore:”
 * /mywebsite/wp-content/cache/
 * I want to ignore anything in the “cache” folder or below. Why is the scanner 
   still looking at file changes that location?

 * Can you try omitting the leading directory name, ie, enter the following instead:
   
   wp-content/cache/

 * Thank you, this has fixed my problem.
 * Perhaps your documentation can specify where the paths are in relation to. There
   is no mention that it is relative to your wordpress install folder.
