Hi @guido07111975, Thank you for reaching out.
If you’ve restored a website with Wordfence installed and noticed an increase in the number of entries, it could be due to various reasons.?
Wordfence logs various activities, including login attempts, changes to files, and other events. If your website has legitimate traffic or user interactions, Wordfence may log these activities, leading to an increase in entries.
Automated bots often attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in websites. If your website is being scanned or targeted by bots, Wordfence will log these activities as well. The number of entries may increase if there’s a significant amount of automated bot traffic.
The restoration process itself could trigger security-related events. For example, if files or database entries were modified during the restoration, Wordfence might log these changes.
If you do not wish to see the many entries, you can decide to do a complete reinstall of the Wordfence plugin by enabling the option “Delete Wordfence tables and data on deactivation” under “Dashboard” > “Global Options” page. Expand the “General Wordfence Options” section. Remember to save the changes. If you then deactivate the plugin, all Wordfence files and database tables will be deleted. You can then choose to activate Wordfence to start with the default configuration.
Thanks,
Mark.
