Hi. Just updated to Joomla 3.6.2 and Admin Tools 4.0.1 Usually after a big update I run the php scanner right away, make the list show all, and mark them all safe. But now when I do that it is just going back to the main Joomla Admin screen. I can do 100 at a time ok, but don't want to do 50 pages. Any ideas? Happened on another site too. Same specs so haven't updated the others yet.
Thanks
Andrew

That's because you are running out of memory. We don't support or recommend processing more than 100 entries at a time.

That said, you should NEVER mark all files are safe. It doesn't even have any effect whatsoever to files with a zero threat score (~95% of your site's files). Remember, per the documentation, you only need to mark as safe the files which have a non-zero threat score and which you know are safe (read the documentation for more information on how to do that). These are about 400-500 on each site, the first time you scan a site. So you only need to process 4-5 pages once and then about 1-2 pages (one page = 100 entries) every week or so depending on how many extensions you have and how often you update them.

OK, Thanks for that. I was thinking i'd keep getting notifications if I didn't mark them safe. Thanks for clarifiying and quick reply!
