# Server State Warning

 * I logged in to my website and had a notification from Wordfence. In my scan I
   have a warning in my server state (yellow triangle) I did a scan to see if it
   worked and the scan did go through and completed the task. However, the warning
   persisted. I went to options and the scan options seem OK.
 * Any help with this would be appreciated.
 * Many thanks

 * I just tried your steps and that worked for me as well. Very grateful and much
   thanks. But I believe Wordfence must have fixed the bug, the scan always stalled,
   broke, or never finished scanning every time I clicked that scan outside the 
   WordPress files. Anyways, thanks a million! I can mark this as resolved.

 * It sure did. It was nice to see that error message out of my scan log for good.
   Thanks again, [@biovenezuela](https://wordpress.org/support/users/biovenezuela/)

 * Solution of STEP 3 from biovenezuela (@biovenezuela) worked. Awesome 😉
 *     ```
       Step 1: click on the option: Scan Options and Scheduling
   
       Step 2: click on the option: General Options
   
       Step 3: Enable Scan files outside your WordPress installation
   
       Step 4: Make a new scan
       ```
