Thanks for the report. We'll be addressing the "._" files in the next update, soon.

Yes.

There are a few things you can try that may help or point you in the direction of what the actual problem is.

Check the database tables by looking on the diagnostics page. Look for any marked needing repair (there will be a note in the comments section) and do so (you may have to ask your hosting provider to do this)
Open the javaScript Console and look for any errors in red while trying to save your options
Check the box to disable config caching near the bottom of the diagnostics page.
If your site using disk and/or object caching, try disabling this or flushing the cache.

Let us know if any of this helps.

The recent upgrade broke my site. I have a single site installation. I had to remove the folder to get back the site.

I think the automatic configuration of the firewall had happened but I am on siteground there was additional settings with php.ini which I have not done.
There is no entry related to wordfence in my .htaccess

Here is the content of wordfence-waf.php
<?php
// Before removing this file, please verify the PHP ini setting auto_prepend_file does not point to this.

if (file_exists('/home/domain/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/waf/bootstrap.php')) {
define("WFWAF_LOG_PATH", '/home/domain/public_html/wp-content/wflogs/');
include_once '/home/domain/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/waf/bootstrap.php';
}
?>

I have no setting for auto_prepend_files in my php.ini - is there anywhere else I should do. Any other folder.

Not sure if this is related, but today I received a Wordfence alert to tons of .listing files in my Wordpress core.

Siteground told me it was a known issue and nothing to worry about.

WFMattR, just to let you know that this sorted the problem for me.

It was set by the installation. I didn't have to modify PHP.INI.

Here is the wordfence-waf.php

<?php
// Before removing this file, please verify the PHP ini setting <code>auto_prepend_file</code> does not point to this.

if (file_exists('C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\adulteducation\\wp-content\\plugins\\wordfence/waf/bootstrap.php')) {
	define("WFWAF_LOG_PATH", 'C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\adulteducation/wp-content/wflogs/');
	include_once 'C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\adulteducation\\wp-content\\plugins\\wordfence/waf/bootstrap.php';
}
?>

mountainguy2 on "[Plugin: Wordfence Security] Upgrade success, but can I get clarity on how to fallback if necessary?"

I upgraded to 6.1.11 on three sites of moderate complexity, Apache server. Success!

While doing so, it occurred to me I do not know the best way to fallback on previous ver if an update fails. With rather regular (to put it kindly) Wordfence updates, can you guys in support here steer me to instructions on best way to downgrade? Or leave a few tips here?

If I save all the old version files that are in the plugin directory, and just restore those, does that accomplish a downgrade? Or would that break due to not downgrading the database tables?

This whole thing is scary, as I'm depending greatly now on Wordfence, and each upgrade clearly has a chance of not working.

Thanks for any help. MTN

I got a single site installation at the root directory of my domain and after trying to upgrade from 6.1.10 to 6.1.11 I got the following error:

Hi,

Thanks for the additional file -- this looks ok too, which seems different from the other cases where we've seen the details. Can you check two more things?

* In the wp-content/plugins/ directory, are there multiple "wordfence" folders?
* In the root of the site, is there a .user.ini file that also has an "auto_prepend_file" line? And if so, can you post that here too?

Permanently blocked IPs do not get updated with additional IP hits on the 'Blocked IPs' page.

To see additional hits the IP has to be selected.

Is this as designed?

If so, can it be re-coded to update on the 'Blocked IPs' page?
I like to watch these and unblock if enough time passes without any hits.
Thanks
Tim

I do not see any think with # Wordfence WAF in my .htaccess at all.

Hi,
There are many reasons that may cause this issue, so please check the followings:
1- Try clearing your browser cache, re-check this issue with incognito browser window and try different browsers as it maybe a browser issue.

2- Connect to your server via FTP/SSH and change the name of .htaccess file -temporarily- and re-check, it maybe some codes in this file causing this issue, changing this file name will disable it.

3- I can see some users reported the same issue on WordPress Forums mentioning that it was something related to their hosting providers (GoDaddy in particular), so it will be helpful if you can get in contact with your hosting company about this issue, they should be able to help you in checking the server error log that should have more details about this issue.

Let me know how it goes,
Thanks.

Hi,

I want to rollback to the previous version, but as soon as I install previous version via ftp and go to options to disable auto - update, by that time (no matter how fast I am), it updates the plugin and brings the website down.

How to prevent it to do auto-update. Is there anything I can change in the config file in the folder so when I upload it via FTP, it does not do that and I can have a previous version of Wordfence, till solution comes up.

Egad, I just finished pulling off all my hair and then I found this post!
I'll be waiting with baited breath for a resolution because right now I have over 4000 messages about what has been changed .... enough to give one apoplexy. :)

Hi philingle,
I recommend asking your hosting provider about this file /tmp/pre.php before choosing to include our file or overriding it. Maybe they included it for an important reason?

Please check that with them and update us back about this issue.

Thanks.
