 * Hi,
 * Keep getting :
 * Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/domain/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wordfenceScanner.php on line 182
 * Not sure why this is?
 * Also, with regard ‘Live’ traffic
 * When you block or view, wordfence remains in a continuous loop during refresh?
 * Regards,

 * Sorry you’re still having trouble. On the Wordfence options page, try changing
   the “Maximum execution time for each scan stage” to 15 seconds, or even 12 seconds
   if you still have trouble. On most hosts, the time is automatically detected,
   but a few still run over the time limit.
