Falcon Engine caching setting will not stick

    Wordfence 5.3.6 – select falcon engine caching and click save changes. Get a popup telling me to grab a copy of my .htaccess file; do it and then click button to enable Falcon. Get a confirmation that it’s been done and another button to click to refresh the page. After refresh, cache page still shows basic caching selected. Confirmed that changes have been made to .htaccess, but falcon logo is not appearing on wordfence admin pages, and visiting the cache setting pages again still shows basic caching. Advice, please. Current .htaccess below:

    #WFIPBLOCKS – Do not remove this line. Disable Web Caching in Wordfence to remove this data.
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from 159.224.160.42
    #Do not remove this line. Disable Web Caching in Wordfence to remove this data – WFIPBLOCKS
    #WFCACHECODE – Do not remove this line. Disable Web Caching in Wordfence to remove this data.

    Hello Brian –

    Logged into the admin this morning and the issue has resolved itself some how – performance page shows the falcon cache setting as selected and the falcon logo appears on all pages. Site is also noticeably quite faster. Don’t know why I had to log out then back in to see the change but I will mark this resolved.

    Glad to hear it’s resolved. If you encounter this in future please try checking the box to “disable config caching” on the Wordfence options page, hit save, then try to enable Falcon or make whatever other config changes you need to make.

    Regards,

    Mark.

    I faced same problem, and after this it was resolved.

    Do I need to uncheck this box again???

    Please guide.
