Website migration

    Hi,

    I migrated a website from a server to another one. In the htaccess file I had this code coming from Wordfence plugin:

    # Wordfence WAF
<Files ".user.ini">
	<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
		Require all denied
	</IfModule>
	<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
		Order deny,allow
		Deny from all
	</IfModule>
</Files>

# END Wordfence WAF

    Do I have to copy paste this code in the new server file? Or will this be automatically reinserted by the plugin if needed?

    Thank you.

    Hi @omahoung, thanks for reaching out.

    This code can sometimes be added if a scan result flags that your .user.ini file is publicly visible, so there’s no harm in manually returning it to the live version of your .htaccess.

    When migrating, it’s also a good idea to return to basic protection and re-optimizing the firewall on the live site to prevent loading issues with an incorrect auto_prepend_file path: https://www.wordfence.com/help/advanced/remove-or-reset/#migrate-with-wordfence

    Thanks,
    Peter.

    Inserting again the extended protection has re-created the code.

    Thanks for the migration information.
