Okay. Now I feel a lot better. Glad to see you both have replied. We appreciate the help.

AS many of us as have this problem, I am somewhat disappointed that WordFence has not come to this thread to offer their opinion. I look at the left column of this page. It would seem to at least indicate that they have an interest here. Apparently not.

JMHO

Checked my host’s php. It is 5.5.22.

As previously stated, my site’s WordFence is back to scanning without a fatal error.
My host’s service people had set up my site’s memory to their max as well as setting my WordPress memory up to its max. It didn’t help at the time, but after doing nothing else, my WordFence was back to scanning without fatal errors. I wonder if, after changing my memory limits, my site needed to be rebooted to make those settings take effect.

Whatever. Now I am watching this like a hawk.

How do I find out my host’s php version?

Okay. I am a crazy man. I went back to my website just now and found that it scheduled and ran a scan just fine!!!!! I do have it set to do low resource scans, but come on. I tried this before and it didn’t work. What happened? I haven’t really done anything.

I am really not at all that website savvy, but now I am even more perplexed. I am going to leave this topic open, and hopefully someone can explain what happened before this comes back around to bite me in the butt.

Oh. PS. Then don’t I get notified that there is a update to WordFence that I need to approve. I went to my site and updated the WordFence Plugin. Does this have to do with the Firefox zero-day maleware they found yesterday? OR EVEN SCARIER maybe it cures fatal memory errors?

Thank you all for your continued support. I really do appreciate all the kind advice that is offered here.

I set the memory 1st down to 200MB, then down 128 MB. Then tried to scan. Neither adjustment changed anything.

I set wordfence to use a low resource scan and that did not change anything.

I am perplexed. Why has this worked perfectly until today? Why is today different?

Thank you leejosepho.

Tried your suggestion. No over-thinking required. You were right. Just let BPS do its thing.

I am trying the free version 1st. Looking to see if Pro version is worth the extra $$. It may be. I am not cheap, so if it looks good, I will buy it. Always support the authors where I can.

I write Science Fiction novels. Not making any $$ yet but time will tell.
my site is https://www.fivemoons.org .

Thanks again.

How do you keep them from clashing?
I already have WordFence, so do what? Turn off the firewall?

Install BPS and let it handle the security?

Anything to watch out for so I don’t shoot my site in the head?

Do you use them together? Do they work well together?

No wonder! Thank you so much for your help. This was a lot more complicated than I thought. I will have to look into that.

Bazinga!

Thank you Ciprian Ionia

You nailed it. Very much appreciated.

I appear to be out here pretty much slugging it out on my own.
I will keep posting in the hopes of someone who actually knows what they are doing commenting on what I am doing wrong.
Nothing seemed to work. Then I found an old thread with some useful information. I tried modifying the child theme css but that seemed to have no effect. In total frustration, I modified the Custom CSS as follows:

/*
Welcome to Custom CSS!

To learn how this works, see https://wp.me/PEmnE-Bt
*/
.site {
	background-color: #fff;
	max-width: 100%;
	position: relative;
}

.site-header {
	background-color: #000;
	max-width: 100%;
	position: relative;
	width: 100%;
	z-index: 4;
}

.main-content {
	width: 100%;
}

.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta,
.page-content {
	margin: 0 auto;
	max-width: 900px;
}

.full-width .site-content .page .entry-header,
.full-width .site-content .page .entry-content,
.full-width .site-content .page .entry-summary,
.full-width .site-content .page .entry-meta {
	max-width: 100%;
}

I got the content wider, but still not what I expected. Also, the page captions are still narrow??

I guess I will keep slugging along here on my own. It is sure a hard learning experience. I am a science fiction author, not a website developer. I take that back. I have to do everything else myself. I write the books, submit the books, deal with Publishers and Editors, try like hell to sell my books, and now – last, but not least – I am my own website developer too. Oh, yeah. I am learning a whole hell of a lot about website security too. I got my butt kicked all over town by hackers, but I got that figured out now too.

Anyway, if you want, I would appreciate any good advice I can get.

More info…
I found the parent CSS for just this modification in Section 6.0 Page Content. I copied just the part I wanted to modify to my Child CSS —

/*
Theme Name: Five Moons Theme
Theme URI: https://www.fivemoons.org
Template: twentyfourteen
Author: Bill Parker
Author URI: https://www.fivemoons.org
Description: Customization of 2014 theme
Version: 1.0.1432213582
Updated: 2015-05-21 13:06:22
*/

.page-content { max-width: 95%; }

@charset “UTF-8”;

When I saved the change nothing happened ???

The Child Theme is active.

Please help.
