Can I postpone configuring firewall

Yes. Update to version 6.1.3. You can dismiss the notice now and enabler the firewall at anytime by visiting the firewall page under the wordfence menu.

Thanks, Tim. I currently have the firewall enabled. Should I disable it before updating and dismissing the configuration of the firewall? Or can I leave it enabled and still dismiss the configuration?

We are in the process of setting up a security certification for our website. I’d like to finish this process before trying to configure the Wordfence firewall.

Since the update to 6.1.2 an now 6.1.3, I have Dismissed the message to configure the Firewall. However, I see that the Firewall Status will automatically switch to ENABLE mode within a week. My question is this:

If I haven’t configured the Firewall, what will happen if/when it automatically is enabled? Is it necessary to UNCHECK this automatically enable choice until I configure the Firewall?

thanks, HMA

You can disable the firewall entirely through the firewall page. If it currently says learning mode in yellow, click it to open the drop down menu and select disable.

If you have any more issues, please open a new post.

Thanks
