Security Settings for wflogs folder

  • We were unable to write to ~/wp-content/wflogs/ which the WAF uses for storage. Please update permissions on the parent directory so the web server can write to it.

    Please provide the specific security settings for the folder. My current settings are 755. The help documentation says to enable write permissions for the server. It seems that 777 is a security risk so I am a bit baffled by the correct settings.

    I was finally able to fix this problem by deleting the wflogs folder and restarting the update procedure. The error message was not accurately reflecting the issue because the update did not work with even the most liberal security settings: 777

    I had this same problem. I was getting a message to check permissions, but even on 777, I still got the error. Deleting the wflogs folder and letting Wordfence create it again solved the issue.
