    I recently rebuilt my site from backup and now I can’t get wordfence to obtain a free API.

    I followed the support articles:

    disabled cache
    deleted setting upon deactivation
    deleted the wordfence folder via FTP
    reinstalled the plug in
    activated but still get the same error:

    Your options have been saved, but we encountered a problem. You left your API key blank, so we tried to get you a free API key from the Wordfence servers. However we encountered a problem fetching the free key: We received an error response when trying to contact the Wordfence scanning servers using PHP’s file_get_contents function. The error was: array ( ‘type’ => 2, ‘message’ => ‘file_get_contents(https://noc1.wordfence.com//v2.14/?v=4.1.1&s=http%3A%2F%2Feickertrealty.com&k=&action=get_anon_api_key): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found’, ‘file’ => ‘/htdocs/www/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wfAPI.php’, ‘line’ => 117, )

    LINE 117 says: return @file_get_contents($url, false, $context, -1);

    PS My wordfence connectivity tester shows this:

    DNS lookup for noc1.wordfence.com returns: 69.46.36.8

    CURL is not installed. Asking your hosting provider to install and enable CURL may improve any connection problems.

    this is the entire function:

    }
    private function fileGet($url, $postParams){
    if(is_array($postParams)){
    $bodyArr = array();
    foreach($postParams as $key => $val){
    $bodyArr[] = urlencode($key) . ‘=’ . urlencode($val);
    }
    $body = implode(‘&’, $bodyArr);
    } else {
    $body = $postParams;
    }
    $opts = array(‘http’ =>
    array(
    ‘method’ => ‘POST’,
    ‘content’ => $body,
    ‘header’ => “Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n”,
    ‘timeout’ => 60
    )
    );
    $context = stream_context_create($opts);
    return @file_get_contents($url, false, $context, -1);
    }

    You need to have your web host install cUrl for php. That should fix your issue.
