Not my website Wordfence Alerts

Hi @eagle_007,

I think there might be some settings that were changed without your knowing.

Can you run the following query on your site and let me know what it returns?

select name, val from wp_wfconfig where name = 'wp_site_url' or name = 'wp_home_url';

Dave

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your response. I’m not sure if I ran the query correctly on my website’s database as I am not very familiar with SQL … but here is the message the query returned:

Error
SQL query: Documentation

select name, val from wp_wfconfig where name = & LIMIT 0, 25
MySQL said: Documentation

#1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘& LIMIT 0, 25’ at line 1

Please let me know what I need to do next.

Hi @eagle_007,

When you copied the query, I think the single quotes got replaced with a different character.

Can you make sure the query is exactly like this:

select name, val from wp_wfconfig where name=’wp_site_url’ or name=’wp_home_url’;

Dave

Hi Dave,
Yes you are right. The single quotes were replaced with '

I have now run the correct query. Here is the result:

Error
SQL query: Documentation

select name, val from wp_wfconfig where name = ‘wp_site_url’ or name = ‘wp_home_url’ LIMIT 0, 25
MySQL said: Documentation

#1146 – Table ‘scsmilec_wp21.wp_wfconfig’ doesn’t exist

Does that help?

Thank you ??

PS the strange characters keep getting changed back to single quotes when I type them here.

Hello Dave,
Have you had a chance to look at my recent reply? Here is the result that the SQL query returned:

Error
SQL query: Documentation

select name, val from wp_wfconfig where name = ‘wp_site_url’ or name = ‘wp_home_url’ LIMIT 0, 25
MySQL said: Documentation

#1146 – Table ‘scsmilec_wp21.wp_wfconfig’ doesn’t exist

Does that tell you why I am getting alerts about a domain that I am not an administrator of?

Hi, are you sure you’re executing this query on your WordPress database?

The table wp_wfConfig should exist in your WordPress database.

Do you have access to something like PHPMyAdmin? You’ll want to find the row where name is wp_site_url and see if that matches your site’s website. This row should be within wp_wfConfig.

Dave

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your help.

• I am using PHPMyAdmin.
• Yes I am sure it’s my website’s WP database.
• I can see the table wp_wfConfig in the list of tables.
• When I browse the wp_wfConfig table, I can see wp_site_url (and wp_home_url) at the end of the list of names.
• The row says: Edit Copy Delete wp_site_url [BLOB 28 B] yes.
• I don’t see a URL there.

What should I do next?

Hello Dave,

Does my reply to you of 4 days ago help?

Dear Dave,

Have you had a chance to look at my recent reply?

I am using PHPMyAdmin. I found the row where the name is wp_site_url within wp_wfConfig but there is no URL there.

Is that normal?
