Incorrect PHP setting when optimizing firewall

    Suddenly my site at bookitect.com is asking me to optimize the Wordfence firewall. The message reads:

    To make your site as secure as possible, the Wordfence Web Application Firewall is designed to run via a PHP setting called auto_prepend_file, which ensures it runs before any potentially vulnerable code runs. This PHP setting is currently in use, and is including this file: /home/samant15/public_html/davidmoldawer.com/wordfence-waf.php

    But this file is on a different WordPress/Wordfence install. I’m seeing this message at Bookitect.com but it’s looking at davidmoldawer.com. I don’t know why Wordfence would be referring to that. They’re not in the same folder at Siteground.

    It says to post here if I have issues, so here I am.

  • Hello @drmoldawer

    Ivan Atanasov from SiteGround here.

    I took the liberty of briefly checking the setup for bookitect.com and davidmoldawer.com. At first glance I am not seeing what might be causing this, however, please note that I am doing this review without access to your dashboard.

    The auto_prepend_file variable path is correct for bookitect.com (davidmoldawer.com does not appear to have one set up)

    However, it looks like the php.ini file is not recursive – is not valid for subdirectories inside bookitect.com.

    If you are still facing the issue, I would recommend posting a Support Ticket so that our Technical Support team can review the problem in more details.

    Thanks @ivanatanasov for helping out, hope you got this issue resolved by now @drmoldawer.
