The site is experiencing technical difficulties.

Hey @seamhuis,

This is a pretty generic error and could be related to many different things. Can you please share your PHP error logs from around the time the error happens? If you’re not sure where these are your host can provide them to you.

Thanks,

Gerroald

Hi WFGerroald,

Sorry I should have been a little more specific as well, it seems to be only happen when I try to customise and have wordfence activated.

Hey @seamhuis,

Thanks for the extra information.

Can you try switching the Firewall into Learning Mode and let me know if it helps?

I’d still like to see the PHP errors logs. This might help us narrow down the issue.

Please let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Gerroald

Hi WFGerroald ,

Thanks for getting back to me,
There’s been no error logs since I did a fresh install of the site again this evening and firewall is in learning mode…

Regards,

I’m getting this when I ran a scan of the wordfence plugin, I do not have access to wp admin but when I go to the site I’m getting “The site is experiencing technical difficulties.” It happen afte I ran the scan I’ve never used wordfence on my site I have never had any issues in 12 yeares of running 2 site never had a problemuntil I installed this plugin 1 week ago….Any ideas would be much appreciated, I’m lockdout of my own site.
