    I’m trying to get a Free API Key, but whenever I put in my email and click start tour it just refreshes the page and asks to do it again.

    I already tested to make sure that my server connects, and it seems to be working. Both tests passed in accordance with:

    https://docs.wordfence.com/en/Wordfence_options#Click_to_test_connectivity_to_the_Wordfence_API_servers

    The error I get is:
    Wordfence could not get an API key from the Wordfence scanning servers when it activated. You can try to fix this by going to the Wordfence "options" page and hitting "Save Changes". This will cause Wordfence to retry fetching an API key for you. If you keep seeing this error it usually means your WordPress server can't connect to our scanning servers. You can try asking your WordPress host to allow your WordPress server to connect to noc1.wordfence.com.

    Any idea why I might be hitting this problem?

    Apparently wordfence needed to create tables in my wordpress installation. For security reasons I had disabled that ability. After allowing it, I had to disable and then reenable the plugin for it to work properly.
