    I have been trying to update my rules as i received this message on my site
    The last rules update for the Wordfence Web Application Firewall was unsuccessful. The last successful update check was April 8, 2022 10:11 pm, so this site may be missing new rules added since then. You may wait for the next automatic attempt at April 22, 2022 10:14 pm or try to Manually Update by clicking the "Manually Refresh Rules" button below the Rules list.

    When ever i do a manual refresh i get a message saying
    No rules were updated. Please verify you have permissions to write to the /wp-content/wflogs directory.

    I have checked my folder permissions ‘0775’.

    I have spoken to some friends and they are reporting the same issue with there websites.

    Hi @jnicholls92,

    Thank you for reaching out!

    It’s possible that your rules have been updated. To check this, you can look at the timestamp for the /wp-content/wflogs/rules.php file.

    If the timestamp on that file isn’t current, you can try deleting wp-content/wflogs/rules.php and letting Wordfence rebuild the file.

    Let me know if that works for you.

    Thanks,
    Tiffany

    Thanks Tiffany

    Deleting the rule.php file and regenerating it worked, the error message has now disappeared.
