Potential Complianz/Wordfence conflict

    Hello,

    I have a site that is currently in development and being tested on the production server before launch. While testing, I discovered that whenever Complianz is activated, I receive random 500 Internal Server Errors in the admin and the front-end. After reviewing the server logs, I am seeing this error from the Wordfence plugin.

    AH01071: Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2449840 bytes) in /var/www/vhosts/[removed]/httpdocs/wp-content/wflogs/rules.php on line 5028’, referer: https://[removed]/wp-admin/post.php?post=678&action=edit

    I’ve searched the logs and the error did not occurr before Complianz was enabled, and hasn’t occurred after I disabled Complianz. The WordPress admin is also noticeably slower when Complianz is enabled.

    This seems to be a conflict between the two plugins, and I am guessing has to do with my specific configuration. I couldn’t find anything while searching around. Do you all have any reports of this or any insight into if there is a fix?

    Latest versions of all plugins and WordPress. PHP 8.1.

    Thanks,

    Tim

    Hi @timstl,

    The error message indicates that your environment is running out of memory. Note that it’s likely not an issue between these two plugins specifically, but likely due to the total amount of plugins enabled on your site, it is running out of memory. Especially if you use a number of relatively “heavy” plugins, this may require you to increase the memory limit.

    You can try increasing the memory limit from 128M to 256M, as suggested in this article from WooCommerce for example (https://woocommerce.com/document/increasing-the-wordpress-memory-limit/).

    Kind regards, Jarno
