    I believe this is an issue pertaining to the shared hosting environment. You really need to make the plugin fully compatible because a great number of websites use shared web hosting.

  • Hi,
    Thanks for reporting this issue, it happens if your web server was running as a user who doesn’t have permissions to create or modify wp-content/wflogs/ or the config.php file that it contains.

    Please update to Wordfence latest version 6.1.10 as this issue should be fixed in this release.

    Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience.
