    Search for the line containing POST /wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron... right before the POST /wp-admin/admin.php?page=NinjaScanner... request.
    Alternatively, download the new settings page from the trunk folder, it contains a diagnostics tool:
    1. Make sure you are running NinjaScanner 1.0.5, or update it.
    2. Download this file: https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/export/HEAD/ninjascanner/trunk/lib/tab_settings.php
    3. Save it to your “/wp-content/plugins/ninjascanner/lib/” and replace the current one with it.
    4. Log in to WordPress and click on “NinjaScanner > Settings > Advanced Users Settings > Nerds Settings > Debugging > Run diagnostics”.

    It’s the same here, too. When running under the Nerds Setings the Diagnosic, I’ll get back the following: “Error: The server returned the following HTTP code: 401”, nothing more.
    Any advice?

    “HTTP 401” is the “Unauthorized error” which means that you need authentication (login + password) to access a page. NinjaScanner calls the “wp-cron.php” script. Did you password-protect it?
