I was only prompted to download a copy of the .htaccess file.
I’ve reinstated the original .htaccess (stripped out reference to wordfence stuff, now it only has the original wordpress code in there).
I removed the .user.ini file, as well as the wordfence-waf.php file from that root directory. I have also disabled the wordfence plugin.
The site was working perfectly after WordPress 4.5 update, prior to wordfence update. in fact, it was working after wordfence update too — it was only after attempting to setup the firewall that it stopped working…
It still refuses to load.
Adding /index.php to the end of the tld makes it load; other pages will load too (from navigation / direct url) however, images aren’t loading.
Thoughts?
Would WF have touched php.ini at all?
