defender is blockein managewp worker plugin

Hi there,

I’ve got the same problem on many sites. Defender is blocking managewp though the sites can’t reconnect. Deactivating Defender resolves the issue but thats not the goal. I need both plugins. Is this possible?

Kind regards

    Next website – same problems. Defender stops managewp from working. Every time I deactivate Defender, managwp worker runs without any problems. If I activate Defender, the connection to worker stops. I need a solution.

    Hello Sandra ,

    Hope you are well today. Kindly provide more information to be able to assist you with this. If you have set up “Prevent PHP Execution” you can add the file name managewp uses to exclude it from the Defender rules under the “Add Exception” button (Will will have to revert this rule). Please also send your site details via our safe contact form https://wpmudev.com/contact/#i-have-a-different-question using this template:
