Deleted Ninja Firewall/ not able to access Dashboard anymore

Hi,

You just need to wait a few minutes until PHP reloads the new php.ini file. Then, the error will go away. PHP caches INI files for up to 5 minutes.

The problem is that you deleted the “/wp-content/nfwlog/” folder and its “ninjafirewall.php” loader, hence the error. When uninstalling NinjaFirewall, it will not delete this folder for that reason.

Well, I also deleted the php.ini, cause I only created it for NinjaFirewall to work. And it has been already 2 hours since I did so and still the error persists.

Is there anything else that could cause that behaviour?

That’s odd for sure.
Create a “/home/lolfinit/public_html/wp-content/nfwlog/ninjafirewall.php” file, with this line only:

<?php

That should stop the error while your PHP interpreter refreshes its cache.

Thanks a lot for your help, I used the backup from yesterday and could fix it this way.

Actually, when I rename the nfwlog folder again the same error occurs again, although there is no trace of nfw in the php.ini nor the htaccess. What causes this behavior?

… If it might help try to disable any cache on your control panel for 5 mins and don’t forget to disable the php component extension opcache. After 5 min try again, if ok enable your settings again back as usual. If not might try to support with your hosting provider.

Make sure you don’t have another PHP INI file with the firewall directive:

• A .user.ini file in the current folder.
• Any *.ini files in the parent folder either.

If there’s none, that means your PHP interpreter is still caching the content of the old PHP INI file. In that case, I would contact the admin or host about this issue as only them can deal with that.
