    Hello,
    I am follwing your recommendation for setting up the Firewall manually. After the php varibale is created my site only outputs a blank screen and the following warnings:

    Warning: array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-includes/load.php on line 66

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-includes/load.php:66) in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1251

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-includes/load.php:66) in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1254

    What can I do to make the firewall work fully – the site is running php 7.2?

  • Hi @belgarath,

    Can you edit your php.ini file and add this line:

    auto_globals_jit = off

    You can also do this by going into cPanel -> PHP Variables.

    SOLVED: Sorry my fault, the htaccess path was not correct. Now everything works fine. Thank you very much.

    Thank you very much that helped to get the site online again.

    But Wordfence does still show that I need to configure the firewall even though the php.ini and htaccess is updated according to your documentation.

    It shows a firewall protection level of 35% (Firewall in learning mode).

    Just wanted to pipe in here; I had the same issue with SiteGround and activating the Wordfence firewall while running PHP 7.2. I followed the instructions given by @wfdave and that fixed the issue. Thanks!
