FAQ
-
No scheduled scans are performed
-
One of the main problems met during development was the one that scheduled scans were not running properly. Note that the plugin makes use of wp-cron for scheduled scans rather than system-specific cron. That means no scheduled events would fire unless someone visits your site from time to time. And if scheduled scans do not run, make sure wp-cron runs correctly (for instance using ALTERNATE_CRON made the trick during the development phase). Or you can simply set system cron yourself.
-
Everything else
-
Pretty much everything else should have been accounted for (either fixed or appended to the list of future developments). However, if you do run into something you believe to be a problem in the plugin itself, you can send your question to support@vulners.com.
