OK try setting the “Maximum execution time for each scan stage” at the bottom of your wordfence options to 10. Then hit save and try another scan.

OK, I made both of the changes you suggested. Now I get an error message: [Apr 11 10:59:36:1397235576.467871:1:error]
<b>Fatal error</b>: Out of memory (allocated 30146560) (tried to allocate 2635209 bytes) in <b>/homepages/6/d172544949/htdocs/IAS/wp-includes/wp-db.php</b> on line <b>880</b>

Ouch. You’re running a server that only allows 30 megs of memory. You’re not going to be able to do much with that. Ask your hosting provider for an upgrade.

Mark.

How much should I ask for?

If 30MB isn’t enough, how much do I need?

I can’t find anything in any of the online information that says this plugin has a special memory requirement, so I’m completely in the dark here. It’s frustrating because I’ve never had such a problem with any other plugin.

Generally speaking, we wouldn’t recommend running WordPress with less than 64M of PHP memory.

Agreed, I’d say start with an upgrade to 64M and see if that improves things.

(Thanks @esmi! You rule!!)

Mark.
