    Hi

    I’m trying to do a manual setup of the firewall, but I am expecting to be able to download the .htaccess file, so I can put it on my server myself, but instead of a download I am asked to enter FTP credentials instead – exactly like when having an automated install.

    Due to security reasons we do NOT use FTP layer at all.

    Suggestions?
    Thanks a log!

  • Hi @dudekltd,

    Wordfence provides a backup for you to download before it makes changes to your ‘.htaccess’.

    If you want to do a manual setup, try this:

    1. Locate your .htaccess file
    2. Add auto_prepend_file = ***
    3. Replace *** with the absolute path of wordfence-waf.php

    For example it might be: auto_prepend_file = /var/www/wordfence-waf.php

    Hi @dudekltd,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’ve gone ahead and marked this thread as resolved.

    Please feel free to open another thread if you’re still having issues with Wordfence.

    Thanks,

    Gerroald
