Stops local host from opening site

  • Hi

    I am building a site offline on WAMP. I have setup the wordpress basics and as a first option i wanted to get the security issues sorted out. I installed Wordfence through the dashboard ….. Like normal. First wordfence would not activate and the whole process just stopped.
    Then the local host site would no longer open…
    After spending many hours fiddling with the WAMP setting for Apache etc. I went and deleted wordfence directly from the plugins folder.
    The site opened straight away without incident and just gave me a warning that wordfence was no longer available.

    I am not a coder so i dont mess with the code of a site. Is there something that I may be doing wrong and if so could you help me with that.
    If it is not me then is there some way to get this issue sorted out.

    Many Thanks

  • Hi oupa66,
    To know the reason for this issue, please enable WordPress debug log by editing (wp-config.php) file and replace this line:
    define('WP_DEBUG', false);
    with:

    define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

    So, when you run into this issue again after installing and activating Wordfence, you can check this file (/wp-content/debug.log) for any error messages.

    Let me know how it goes,
    Thanks.
