    I’m on 1.6.1 and I don’t understand why I’m getting the following error message or how to fix it.

    Response status: 404

    Message: The audit requested does not exist.

    This seems to happen for only premium plugins, like MemberPress, AffiliateWP, Gravity Forms, and such.

    The plugin isn’t looking only at public repos, is it? It seems like it should look at the actual code on my site, and then it would support any plugin or theme!

    Hi @djosephdesign ! You are correct that this only scans public plugins. Previously the plugin used to run the scans on the server the site lives on which would almost always cause the server to crash due to resources being used. This was not the correct solution especially considering folks were running this on their production environments.

    This new more limited build of the plugin was done to give us a better baseline solution that does not put the site in jeopardy. We would love for this to be enhanced in the future for premium plugins, and that should be possible, but at the moment we rely on the Tide endpoints to run the scans. It can only access public plugins and themes.

    I can imagine in a future release a way to register custom endpoints to check against if the Tide endpoint says 404, but the current plugin is a first step toward enabling that sort of functionality.

    I’ll add a backlog issue to make the error messages clearer in a future release. Thanks!
