Hi, I am receiving an error message whenever I try to upload an image of a fancy product designer. I’ve tried to check my settings but I’m not seeing anything that allows me to enable loading images from a file. I think wordfence block the upload the image option.

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with Wordfence on both of my websites. When I try to run a scan, I receive the following error:
“Scan Engine Error: Key does not match the saved key.”
Both websites are hosted on the same server but have separate domains. I initially thought this was a hosting issue, but my hosting provider has confirmed that everything on their end is working fine and suggested that this might be a plugin-related issue.
I have tried basic troubleshooting steps such as clearing the cache and reinstalling the plugin, but the error persists.
Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I’ve been using Wordfence for several years and I was recently infected with malware. Norton and Securi caught it, but a Wordfence scan did not. It cost me $550 to have Securi remove it.

Hello,
I have been using Wordfence on a site for quite some time. But it seems to be blocking ajax requests now. I disabled Wordfence, clear the WT3 cache and then Load More function is working. I had a similar problem a while ago, but it was resolved, hence why it is strange the same issue is happening now.
I cannot move the plugin to learning mode or disabled to be able to do diagnotics either. The screen reloads and always remains at Protecting firewall status.
Thanks

I received a notification that the recent Wordfence scan on a clients site has 667 issues (most if not all lableled critical) and from what I can see they all have index-https.df at the end of the URL.
A quick Google search tells me index-https.df is part of Pandas for Python. I’m out of my wheelhouse here.
There’s also this:
“Details: This file appears to be installed or modified by a hacker to perform malicious activity. If you know about this file you can choose to ignore it to exclude it from future scans. The matched text in this file is: x\x9c\xd5}“
Where did this suddenly come from? Has it always been there and just now is an issue? Or is the x\x9c\xd5 the issue and indicitave of a hack?
I have Simple History installed, and it shows no access other than myself and the client. Just a few plugin upgrades.
Thanks in advance for any help or insight you can offer.

I run a chat in another folder that is getting falsely flagged for simple things and I want to whitelist some of the .php scripts but the only options are “Allowlisted 404 URLs” which is only good for excluding 404 error pages and the “Allowlisted URLs” is only good for excluding by user and IP and not for all. It’s starting to get really annoying now. I should not need to add a param to the firewall for everyone that uses that function because your firewall is falsely flagging it. Please will you update this.

Scan Stage Failed
A scan stage has failed to start. This is often because the site either cannot make outbound requests or is blocked from connecting to itself. Wordfence will make up to 2 attempts to resume each failed scan stage. This scan may recover if one of these attempts is successful.

I have 2 static IPs that are currently whitelisted but are currently still being blocked. When I checked the live traffic security only related I find the 2 IPs blocked because of the following rule “IP was blocked for Exceeded the maximum number of requests per minute for crawlers.”. I do have Rate Limiting enabled with that type of restrictions but shouln’t the whitelisted IPs bypass these rules? I also believe the 2 IPs were being blocked before I whitelisted them.

Hi,
After a long testing period we finaly pin pointed the culprit of random 521/5XX errors on the website.
It kept appearing when we tried to add new post, tried to publish a post, tried to open an article and even tried to access the dashboard. We use cloudflare so could not get exactly what is happening. Also, nothing shows up in log files.
We fianlly disabled Wordfence and the error goes away.
As it started happening as soon as we wento Wordfence 8.4. Till 8.3 everything was fine.
some code of yours is not working properly.

The fact is in this extension Instant Index Version 1.1.21 in the tab IndexNowAPI this is not the key i send at root with FTP and everytime i ask for check this is not the good or if i choose change key, not such file is regenerate at root.
You write : generated key will work ? ! How this generated api key can be allowed on my website, should only be allowed and generated by Bing Webmaster console.
I don’t understand ths point.
Since any submission to Index now (manually) for example is 429 !!! No true Not over quota even
When i set a api call via url
https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow?url=https://www.publieremploi.fr/home-4&key=XXXXXXXX
This works.
For testing i disabled any cache. I am using Wordfence. Look to Live traffic no error no request blocked….
I don’t understand what is going on.
Relevant to Wordfence. Set firewall to learning mode
Do I need a allow url ?

At least 3 weeks have passed, since others made you aware about the problem that it is not possible to login to WordPress, if Wordfence is activated, because of the following error. Even if CAPTCHA has been deactivated in the Wordfence settings, and the ‘W3 Total Cache’ plugin has been emptied and deactivated:
“CAPTCHA EXPIRED: The CAPTCHA verification for this login attempt has expired. Please try again.”
I am getting near to the point when I have to conclude that Wordfence is not longer a functioning plugin and that I have to replace it with something else.

I would like to start doing some things when an IP gets blocked… I could have a script watch a mailbox for the Wordfence emails and scan them when they arrive, but it would probably be easier if I could add a function that runs when an IP is blocked.
Are there any hooks that I can tap into for this functionality?
