    Hi, I have been using Wordfence on standard WP sites before, now I want to secure a WP MultiSite network with more than 100 sites on subdomains.

    Can Wordfence handle Multisites, and do I have to activate and configure it on each network site individually or can I protect the whole network by Network Activation and global configuration on the main network site?

    Hi @w-sky,

    In the case of multisites, Wordfence needs to be installed on Network Admin > Plugins and not on each indivudual site:

    Wordfence is compatible with WordPress Multisite installations. Please note that Wordfence needs to be installed on your “Network Admin” > “Plugins” page. Please do not attempt to install Wordfence for each site instance on a Multisite installation.

    We have seen several multisites with performance issues due to an outdated “object-cache.php” file. If you have performance problems on a multisite with Wordfence and are using an object cache, note that drop-in plugins do not show updates when WordPress checks for plugin updates, so you may need to check manually that it is up to date.

    Many thanks,
    Peter.
