    First off let me say thank you for this application..It is amazing and as you have said..all you need

    Of note..i did have nfw installed before on this server/acct..Today I changed the name of the account to a different domain..

    anyway

    I get this error during NFW setup

    Your WordPress directory (/home/clarks/public_html/eb/) is different from your website document root (/home/clarksto/public_html/). Because it is possible to install WordPress into a subdirectory, but have the blog exist in the site root, NinjaFirewall needs to know the exact location of the site root.

    Please edit the path below only if you have manually modified your WordPress root directory as described in the Giving WordPress Its Own Directory article.

    there is nothing in /home/clarks/public_html

    only one wp installation in /home/clarks/public_html/eb

    mydomain.com/eb is in both places the general settings page

    thanks

    ok..NFW installed fine in a different directory so must be that i changed domain name and installed it on the new domain but in a directory with same name
    like
    https://www.xyz.com/eb original
    https://www.zyx.com/eb new one that won’t install

    Even though it was not installed on the new wp install i was getting notifications re: console logins

    This message is normal: when NinjaFirewall detects that the website document root ($_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’]) and WordPress directory (ABSPATH) are different if will offer the possibility to adjust the path. Most of the time, there is no need to make any change, but in a few cases, it may need to be edited.

    mine did not work whether i changed things or not. it is still there uninstalled..I installed wp in a new directory and it went 123

    there is nothing installed here /home/clarks/public_html

    Maybe the directory name contained a trailing space?

    Anyway, if it is working now that’s a good thing!
