More importantly, I replaced the Jetpack contact form block with one from Kadence, which has an option for non-captcha anti-spam built in already. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[hCaptcha for WP] No longer working with Jetpack contact form integration](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-working-with-jetpack-contact-form-integration/) * Thread Starter [sephage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sephage/) * (@sephage) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-working-with-jetpack-contact-form-integration/#post-17942852) * No worries, I uninstalled it and found another solution. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[hCaptcha for WP] No longer working with Jetpack contact form integration](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-working-with-jetpack-contact-form-integration/) * Thread Starter [sephage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sephage/) * (@sephage) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-working-with-jetpack-contact-form-integration/#post-17928321) * [https://www.1winedude.com/contact-joe/](https://www.1winedude.com/contact-joe/) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Hummingbird Performance - Cache & Page Speed Optimization for Core Web Vitals | Critical CSS | Minify CSS | Defer CSS Javascript | CDN] Page Caching issues after activating Asset Optimization](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-caching-issues-after-activating-asset-optimization/) * Thread Starter [sephage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sephage/) * (@sephage) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-caching-issues-after-activating-asset-optimization/#post-16277291) * Thanks for your suggestions.

It then reenables caching only to go back to disabling/purging it. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Hummingbird Performance - Cache & Page Speed Optimization for Core Web Vitals | Critical CSS | Minify CSS | Defer CSS Javascript | CDN] Page Caching issues after activating Asset Optimization](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-caching-issues-after-activating-asset-optimization/) * Thread Starter [sephage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sephage/) * (@sephage) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-caching-issues-after-activating-asset-optimization/#post-16272124) * I went ahead and rest all settings as you suggested, so that it could activate AO first and step through the initial setup again. It appears to be working correctly now for Page Caching (though I did for some reason have to manually update htaccess to get GZip compression working again, not sure why).

It’s something else. The question is what. * If I revert to the last pre-firewall version of WF, it behaves normally. * >> 1. Does the adsense code look intact when you view the source of the page? * Yes, and it is defaulting to displaying whatever is set on the Google end when it is unable to display ads (my own custom banner, or colored rectangle, etc.). * >> 2. Have you tried viewing the pages where the ads fail with a browser console open? (Check for any javascript or net/http errors). * Yes, that code appears to be functioning as designed. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Google Adsense & new Wordfence firewall](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-new-wordfence-firewall/) * Thread Starter [sephage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sephage/) * (@sephage) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-new-wordfence-firewall/#post-7355502) * Thanks. * Nope; it’s been in learning mode the entire time, actually. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Google Adsense & new Wordfence firewall](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-new-wordfence-firewall/) * Thread Starter [sephage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sephage/) * (@sephage) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-new-wordfence-firewall/#post-7355379) * Thanks. * 1. No, it’s all PHP / code. * 2. Nope. * 3. No. The odd thing is that the ad code may actually be running, but Adsense is defaulting to the backup ad I specified (when it cannot run its own ads); this behavior corrects if I revert back to the last pre-firewall version of Wordfence. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Scheudled scans never complete](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scheudled-scans-never-complete/) * Thread Starter [sephage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sephage/) * (@sephage) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scheudled-scans-never-complete/#post-4924095) * Thanks for the help.
