Second Site cannot get API

    I have three sites on a dedicated GoDaddy Server. I installed Wordfence on the first site without any problems. When I added Wordfence to my second site, it is unable to get the free API. I had read that this is a problem. I have tried saving options, but that did not help. How can I have Wordfence installed on all of my sites?

    I have no problem paying for the premium version, but I want to make sure that it works for the free version first.

    Error Message:
    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.

    Thanks…

    I don’t know if you mean to do this, but you posted your topic twice : /

    But, I’ve had that problem before. Have you tried completely uninstalling the plugin, then reinstalling it

    Marc,

    I am not sure I understand…I only posted this topic once. I did find a similar post, but that was related to a problem after first installing Wordfence.

    I have Wordfence installed already on one site and it’s working great…I have installed on two other sites on the same server and they both cannot get API keys…

    I have tried removing and re-installing but that did not help…

    Any other suggestions?

    (via Wordfence FAQ)

    > How many Wordfence API keys do I need? One per site?

    If you want to use the paid version of Wordfence, you need one API key per WordPress installation. However if you run WordPress multi-site, you only need one API key for the entire Multi-Site installation.

    This may be a limitation of the free API key. Unless you’re able to implement it on the entire network instead of each site individually

    @miketran Sorry for the late reply. I tagged the second topic for a moderator to delete since it was just a copy.

    Have you tried manually signing up on WordFence.com, and entering a API key on your WordPress site?
