PHP.INI

  • Hi. I’m not sure where it went, but when I first ran the update I had some message about appending the php.ini file?

    I’m hoping this isn’t something required with this most recent update. I’m not comfortable with server side changes (if that’s what that is ?) – it’s really Greek to me. Is there something I HAVE to do now to the ini file for WF to run properly? OR will WF run straight out of the box as it has been…

    I see that the interface has changed and I’m going to have to get accustomed to all of the concatenating and reorganization – so I can understand what is where, from where it used to be and what it’s doing etc –

    Is there a user manual for all of these changes that we can refer to?

  • Hello bcr8tive,
    in most common server configurations Wordfence will run “straight out of the box”. The latest releases have a new feature called “Web Application Firewall” (WAF). It’s primary job is to intercept attacks before WordPress themes and plugins have loaded, thus significantly decreasing the risk of successful attacks. The Firewall needs to go through a quick configuration process which you do on the page “Firewall” which you can find in the Wordfence menu.

    You do not have to use the Firewall. You can leave it deactivated or choose to not enable it. Wordfence will then continue to protect your site like it always has. It just wont have the extended protection that the new feature offers.

    You can find more information about WAF here. Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Thank you so much for the clarification. Sounds like an extra layer of protection and a lot of additional effort on your part, so thanks for that too. I will read thru the link as time permits and try to implement it. Will check in if I run into any issues.

    Thanks again! (waves) xo
