After today’s Wordfence update, my WordPress installs lost css styles

    Since this update 6.3.3 today, March 9, automatic on four WordPress blogs on one of my sites, all theme css (styles) files stopped working. I.e. all content and links are intact but none of the styling. This is evident in browsers which do not have cached copies of my site.

    By contrast, 2 blogs on another of my sites (same host, different shared server), running old Wordfence, 6.3.2, appear to be OK including when checked in browser with cleared cache.

    I’ve tried reinstalling WordPress, switching off all plugins, reinstalling plugins, switching to “safe” WP themes including the latest. Also tried reinstalling Wordfence. No effect. Then It hit me, Wordfence installed itself automatically at about the time (I believe) this crash occurred.

    I suspect the problem might be js script related because in one of my browsers (Firefox) which has a big cache, and perhaps retains the scripts from the past couple of days, the pages do look normal.

    Scanning with Wordfence shows no hacks.

    Can you suggest anything?
