 * Just updated to WP 3.8.1 and installed WF 4.0.1. I’m getting this error:
 * > Scan terminated with error: WordFence API error: Your blog is using an unsupported
   > WordPress version. The version we received was: 3.8.1
 * Found some other posts about this error. Replies from WF rep indicates this is
   an issue with WF server playing catch-up.
 * Any idea when it will be caught up?

 * Same here – not impressed so far since I went premium… also where do I turn off
   auto-rebill? It said there was that option during signup but I don’t see it anywhere
   in my Dashboard.

 * Hi
    If you are a premium member login here and open a ticket: [http://support.wordfence.com/support/tickets](http://support.wordfence.com/support/tickets)
 * I have opened 3 today – the sites I have not upgraded are also having issues.
   Mark is normally right on top of this stuff – the silence today is odd. In my
   opinion. I would guess some serious troubleshooting is afoot!
    I would recommend
   using the same subject line “WordFence API error!!!” so this all is viewed as
   the same issue! And include the text johnflufin used – if that is the error you
   are seeing!
