    Hi all,

    I recently move my wordpress site into a sub directory. Before doing so i deleted the Wordfence plugin that was installed, however im not getting error:

    Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/var/sites/c/crosstowndoughnuts.com/public_html/wordfence-waf.php' (include_path='.:/usr/newage/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

    I’ve removed any reference to Wordfence in the htaccess and php.ini files. I’ve tried moving the wordfence-waf.php file from the new sub directory back to the root. I’ve tried deleteing the Wordfence folder in the Plugins folder. No luck.

    Can anyone help with how i can get this sorted? Very frustrating that this is happening even after the plugin was uninstalled.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @mazmc,
    If you are getting that message it means there must be an auto_prepend_file value left somewhere which is attempting to load the wordfence-waf.php. On some server setups the auto_prepend_file value can be set in .user.ini.

    If you’re sure you’ve removed it all, it’s possible that your .htaccess could be cached. That would normally clear in 5-10 minutes but you could possibly check with your host to see if they have a longer cache.

    Either way, just putting even an empty file called wordfence-waf.php in both roots should stop the error from happening.

    Hi @mazmc,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’ve gone ahead and marked this thread as resolved.

    Please feel free to open another thread if you’re still having issues with Wordfence.

    Thanks!

    Hi, sorry solving this got put on hold for a bit.
    I’ve tried the solution above but still get the error:

    Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

    Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required ‘/var/sites/c/ju0ly.hosts.cx/public_html/wordfence-waf.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php-5.6.37-flock/lib/php’) in Unknown on line 0

    We have moved to a new host and have a new site there, but i still need a working version of this old site as a backup. https://ju0ly.hosts.cx/v1 (host server is 185.119.173.224)

    How can i get rid of any wordfence reference and get the site working?
