Deactivated.

Thanks for reporting this error, but I will need more information from you if I am to provide a solution.

First, it’s important for me understand the situation that lead to this error being generated, and I think it would help you to understand the nature of the error too. In this case the error was cause simply because a scan process took longer than the maximum execution time of 60 seconds, which is a restriction setup in your PHP configuration on your server. To be clear, this is not a bug in the code or an error caused by any specific thing that my code is doing. It is actually not uncommon for any intensive process to run longer 60 seconds, so I would not expect that there is anything to be fixed in the plugin because of this error.

Based on the line number logged here I can deduce that the scan process reached 60 seconds while executing the function GOTMLS_check_threat, which tells me that you were running a manual scan but it does not tell me what type of scan or what part of your system you were scanning. If this was a Quick Scan than I would presume that whatever content you were scanning was too great to be completed withing the 60 second limit allowed by your PHP settings.

If you would like to reinstall my plugin and try the scan again to confirm that the error is repeatable then relay to me the circumstances that lead up to this error being generated then I can help you find a solution. You could also try other types of scans to see if some of them are able to complete without generating this error and note which ones work and which ones don’t. Also, you should know that it will not do any harm to your site by generating this error, it is simply reporting that the max time limit was reached and the only negative implication of that is that the scan you were running was unable to be completed.

If I were to guess at a possible solution, based on only the data available from your first post here, then I would suggest that your issue may be resolved by simply increasing the max_execution_time value in your php.ini file on your server, maybe try 90 or 120 seconds to see if that makes any difference.

You can also contact me directly for support if you want to provider any sensitive details that you would rather not post on this public forum: eli AT gotmls DOT net
