Timeout Error 'Firewall API Key Not Found' During Clear Cache in WordPress Dashboard

[jaredchu]

Summary:

When using the Clear Cache function in the WordPress dashboard, some users encounter the 'Firewall API key not found.' error. This issue occurs when the request times out.

Details:

1. The API key is valid and functional, and all other plugin functions are working correctly.
2. The issue is resolved when the SUCURISCAN_MAX_REQUEST_TIMEOUT constant in sucuri.php is increased to 10 seconds, where the default is 5 seconds.

Suggestion:

I kindly suggest the developer consider making the SUCURISCAN_MAX_REQUEST_TIMEOUT constant a modifiable input, allowing users to adjust the request timeout duration as needed.

Similar error with different message 'SUCURI: Failure connecting to the Firewall API service; try again.'
Can also fix by adding in wp-config.php 'define('SUCURISCAN_MAX_REQUEST_TIMEOUT', 10);' instead
