Wordfence causing 503 errors … again

    Hello,

    WordFence 7.4.8 is giving me 503 errors when I have the plugin enabled. This same problem came up in the forums a couple of years ago, but I didn’t see any solid resolution to it. Also, it doesn’t matter what browser I use to access the dashboard or the website when it’s broken. Nor can I run a scan, since the plugin is disabled.

    I’ve temporarily disabled WF by renaming the plugin directory, and I can then access the dashboard and view the website. But as soon as I rename it back to the original, I cannot access either.

    The plugin readme.txt file says I’m running WF plugin 7.4.8 and that it requires PHP 5.3 and is tested up to PHP 5.4. For some reason, my GoDaddy hosting indicates that I’m using PHP 7.2. Could that cause a problem?

    How else can I troubleshoot this problem?
