Which headers and path it uses to test it? So I can emulate request and see it myself. * In additional data it shows this, which looks like some cookie is being set by my hosting: * HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sun, 15 Sep 2024 00:10:02 GMTContent-Type: text/htmlTransfer- Encoding: chunkedConnection: closeCF-Cache-Status: DYNAMICReport-To: {“endpoints”:[{“ url”:”https:\/\/a.nel.cloudflare.com\/report\/v4?s=KHPVQT9LjkejzT8khkvNEMMzJfNz% 2B%2FcJ1B%2FosCvqP0cx0UuW7JBbhbXDHPBnIv8ydaD7O5HgCt0OBcmBHVJN6srrw8kZgsQIq%2Buo3gqArAMN1wGBxKdYttoGC4ro3lu6kAW% 2FdAF1zw%3D%3D”}],”group”:”cf-nel”,”max_age”:604800}NEL: {“success_fraction”: 0,”report_to”:”cf-nel”,”max_age”:604800}Server: cloudflareCF-RAY: 8c3464369c137b33- DMEContent-Encoding: bralt-svc: h3=”:443″; ma=86400 - This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [EugeneBos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thegp/). - This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [EugeneBos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thegp/). - This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [EugeneBos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thegp/).

Why it doesnt use domain like it should? * Why do the f it expects to see my website by connecting to just an IP?? * This is dumbest diagnostics I’ve ever seen. - This reply was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [EugeneBos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thegp/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [EugeneBos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thegp/). * Plugin Support [wfphil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfphil/) * (@wfphil) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scan-doesnt-start-4/#post-18024702) * Hi [@thegp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thegp/) * The report is showing that WordPress can’t send POST requests susccessfully back to your hosting server via the error in the test “Connecting back to this site”. * If you have a staging site you can switch to a default theme such as Twenty-Twenty Four and see if that fixes the error. If it does then your normal theme needs to be fixed. * If it isn’t the theme you can deactivate all other plugins and activate them one by one until the error appears again and you will find the plugin causing the problem and ask that plugin support team to help you fix the fault. * Thread Starter [EugeneBos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thegp/) * (@thegp) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scan-doesnt-start-4/#post-18025306) * Is this question I asked? I dont want to switch themes, read pls what I asked to resolve this issue. * Plugin Support [wfphil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfphil/) * (@wfphil) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scan-doesnt-start-4/#post-18025682) * Hi [@thegp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thegp/) * Thank you for the update. * The report is showing that WordPress can’t send POST requests susccessfully back to your hosting server via the error in the test “Connecting back to this site” so you will need to investigate what the cause is so that it can be rectified. First tests are to test the theme and all other plugins as outlined in my last reply. This should ideally be done on a staging site so that you don’t have to take your site offline to carry out these tests. Our scanner needs to be able to send requests back to your web server so this problem needs to be investigated and fixed.
