I recently deleted the WordFence plugin from a website I duplicated as a staging site for redevelopment. Since the staging site was closed to the public, there was no need to have WordFence installed into it.
When I uninstalled WordFence, I made sure to select the “delete all data…” selection to remove all WordFence data.
Unfortunately that did not work, because I had trouble using the WordPress “Quick Edit” function for pages or posts, it was not saving any changes.
Further investigation found WordFence was blocking the function on the staging site.
To fix that problem I installed WordFence Assistant, used its features to disable and delete all the various functions, including deleting left over database entries etc.
That resolved the issue, and now the staging site functions properly.
This plugin proved valuable, because it simplified the fix process, else that process would have been arduous trying to track down some coding entry or database entry left behind by WordFence.
I said all the above to ask you to please UPDATE this plugin.

I noticed the wfTrafficRates entry in a site’s database had grown to 700k+ entries and 44MB.
Installed WF Assistant. Hit the “Delete all Live Traffic Data” button. Got a message to confirm it had happened.
Checked DB then, and again today. Still 700k+ entries and 44MB.
Does it rely on Cron to do the purge?

Hi Von,
You can alternatively follow these steps:
– Install “Wordfence Assistant” plugin.
– Click on “Disable Wordfence Firewall” button to remove the firewall related files/entries in “.htaccess”/.user.ini file.
– Click on “Remove all Wordfence Data in the Database and elsewhere”.
– Connect to your website via SFTP/FTP to delete the plugin folder from (/wp-content/plugins/) directory.
Thanks.`”

Hello there!
I have a problem. I have installed a Plugin, Support Board, which relies on php to work. First I had a problem with 403 error, where when I opened the path of the file I would get 403 error, and I got errors on the site pages too… then I found out that PHP execution for plugins folder was blocked and I set an htaccess file inside the folder of the chosen plugin, but I get 500 error now with this PHP error:
Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required ‘/home/stunwcbw/public_html/wordfence-waf.php’ (include_path=’.:/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/share/pear’) in Unknown on line 0
I’ve contacted the developer and he said that the plugin is working fine but the server has some issue with wordfence which is the one causing the error.
How can I resolve?
Thanks!

]]>Hi there. My Wordfence WAF live traffic logs shows hundreds of requests daily for the following:
Activity Detail
“Hong Kong, Central District, Hong Kong tried to access non-existent page https://sips.asia/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml”
I also receive the same autodiscover errors from other offices of our organization.
I was advised by Siteground domain hosting (and through general internet search) to add the autodiscover URL to ‘Whitelisted 404 URLs’ section, and to whitelist my IP address, which I have done. It makes no difference.
Has anyone come across this problem and resolved it? If so, any tips please? Apologies if I have not explained it very well. Thanks

]]>I know I’m only a woman. I know that I am very tired. I know that my nerves are frayed BUT I’m not so stupid that I should be unable to find a plugin when I want one. Really. I.Am.Not.Stupid – so please do not think me so.
Please, how do I get hold of the Wordfence plugin (free version) ? My queries return only two add-ons for Wordfence, not the actual plugin as promised on the plugin’s site “go to Plugins > Add New and do a search for ‘wordfence’ without quotes.”
“Found it? Great.” NO!!
My query returns only Wordfence Assistant and Wordfence Security – Live Traffic Admin Widget, both of which say that they are add-ons.
A tag search here doesn’t find the plugin either. Am I going mad?
The Wordfence site does not provide a Contact route for a wannabe (free) user to get help.
I have an infestation and badly need help to clean it. I’ll probably buy the product if testing the free version impresses, but where do I get it from in order to try it?
Help?
