Exclude files from scan syntax?

    Will this work? in the
    “Exclude files from scan that match these wildcard patterns. (One per line).”

    *.zip
    *.webp
    *.jpg
    *.jpeg

    I mean to exclude any files matching those extensions.

    I have a website that needs a lot of hours to scan it. I’m on a dedicated server. Although i have excluded all the above, after 10 hours of scanning I got in wordfence

    This website has thousands of jpg images and all are duplicated in webp format. I want to exclude all photos from the scan. Is it possible?

    Hi drazon,
    We are investigating a similar issue regarding files exclusions (reference number: FB3056) which will be addressed in the next update, do you have “Scan images, binary, and other files as if they were executable” option enabled?

    Thanks.

    Yes I do have it enabled because I have to exclude only jpg and webp images, not the others. I guess that the “Exclude files from scan that match these wildcard patterns.” rule should have the top most priority.
