Firewall – 404 Error only on menu side

  • Hi

    Thank you for this plugin, its been a great defense among many potential hackers.
    I have been using this plugin for a very long time, and had not had to go in and change anything. Recently, seen a slight increase of attempts from one country, so I went poking around inside Wordfrence. However when I click Firewall it takes me to the 404 page.

    I tried updating the permalinks
    Tried rolling it back to previous version.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still getting 404 page.

    Now I can get into the firewall page, from Manage WAF link, in the main Wordfence Page
    The 404 is only happening when I click Firewall from the Menu on the left.

    Menu on left link —> 404: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=WordfenceWAF
    Link on Wordfence Page —> Works: wp-admin/admin.php?page=WordfenceWAF&subpage=waf_options&source=dashboard

    Thanks

  • Hi @cmatt,

    I think you were on the right track looking into the permalinks.

    Can you copy-paste the contents of your .htaccess file here?

    FYI, just noticed the old PHP54 code, I removed the PHP line, because I’m running 7.1 actually.
