    I have been receiving “The last rules update for the Wordfence Web Application Firewall was unsuccessful. The last successful update check was 26/11/2023 3:14 am, so this site may be missing new rules added since then. You may wait for the next automatic attempt at 07/01/2024 10:54 pm or try to?Manually Update?by clicking the “Manually Refresh Rules” button below the Rules list.”

    Could somebody help?

    Hi @jayy09, thanks for getting in touch.

    If the automatic and manual update attempts from within the plugin aren’t working, I would first try deleting the wp-content/wflogs folder or its contents via FTP or file manager.

    If your filesystem permissions and connectivity look good on Wordfence > Tools > Diagnostics page, persistent problems with the rules.php file can be bypassed entirely by setting Wordfence to write to the MySQLi storage engine instead of a file: https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/mysqli-storage-engine/

    Let us know if you continue to experience issues after trying those.

    Thanks,
    Peter.
