    Hi, i have two different WP installations, one in the root folder and another in a sub dir (the subdomain that i have created point to that folder), im in a shared hosting.

    I firstly have installed the plugin on the second wp installation (the one in the sub dir), i have activated it and when i tried to activate Full WAF mode it said that can’t be activated: “Make sure your HTTP server support the php_value auto_prepend_file directive in .htaccess files. Maybe you need to restart your HTTP server to apply the change, or simply to wait a few seconds and reload this page?”

    Then i disabled the plugin and installed the plugin in the first wp installation (the one in the root folder) with success and full WAF mode enabled. In the configuration i excluded the sub dir of the second wp installation.

    Now when i try to enable the plugin in the second wp installation it gives me an error that the plugin can’t be activated because there is a fatal error.

    I then disabled the plugin in the first wp installation and tried to activate it in the second wp installation but still gives me the fatal error message.

    How can i activate the plugin also on second wp installation and make the full WAF mode working?

    Thanks in advice.

    Check the PHP error log, it will show what that error is about.
    If you don’t have a PHP error log, you need to enable debugging in WordPress:

    1. Edit your wp-config.php file.
    2. Search for:
      define('WP_DEBUG', false);
    3. Replace with:
      define('WP_DEBUG', true);
    4. Add this line below:
      define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

    Try to enable the firewall until you get the error and then check the log that will be saved to “/wp-content/debug.log”.

    Hello, i had Cloudflare active and maybe this was interfering with the activation of NinjaFirewall, now is all ok!

    Thanks for the support.
