iThemes Security Not Updated on both single site and all sites

Hi

I’m new to MainWP but I have added 40+ sites already. It works like a charm except that I can’t get the iThemes Security extension to work :frowning:

I have iThemes Security Pro installed on all my child sites, and all of them has disabled Filter Long URL Strings in System Tweaks, and I have added the IP for the Dashboard site in the Lockout White List in Global Settings. But when I try to save general settings to either a single site or to all sites nothing happens except a red error saying “Not Updated”.

I have tried with both iThemes Security activated and disabled on the main dashboard site, but it makes no difference.

Please help. Thanks

Best regards
Torben

Hey @webfronten, reports look fine. Nothing unusual in there. Can you give me a few more answers so I can get a better picture about your setup:

  1. Are all your child sites on the same host/server?
  2. Do you have some plugins that are in common for all sites?
  3. Do you use Cloudflare or any other cloud proxy?

Hi Bogan

  1. The child sites are on either on Siteground Cloud Hosting or on Kinsta.
  2. ManageWP Worker plugin is activated on all sites (because I’m in the process of switching to MainWP) :slight_smile: ). iThemes Security Pro and Classic Editor plugin are also activated on all sites.
  3. I don’t use Cloudflare but on 6 sites at Kinsta I use Kinsta CDN.

Torben

Hi Torben,
Since sites are on 2 different hosts, I think that is not the problem. The only thing that I would try is to try to disable the ManageWP on one site temporarily to see if that will help.

Hi again Bogdan

I tried to deactivate ManageWP Worker plugin on a couple of sites, but it didn’t solve the problem. I also tried to deactivate the BlogVault backup plugin and WP-Rocket but it didn’t help either.

Hi @webfronten, thanks for verifying that. It’s a very strange issue. I can’t duplicate it on my test setup.

Are you able to open a helpdesk ticket so we can investigate this further?

I have the same issue although I don’t have ManageWP – if you received a solution would you please let me know?

As soon as we find solution, we will release update and get this topic updated.

I have the same problem, so I hope you will find a solution :slight_smile:

We are still currently working on a solution.

As soon as we find solution, we will release an update and announce it on this topic.

Thank you all for your patience.
