    Hi,
    WP site http server is Lighttpd, and requires manual optimization config.
    The Wordfence dialog will not work for my case though, because I do not have FTP/S service running – I access the system via ssh.

    Would appreciate info on how to manually optimize the App Firewall.

    Thanks.

    Send an email to wftest @ wordfence . com with subject “WFADAM” and I can provide you a generic wordfence-waf.php file as they are usually the same for all sites. We can try to plug it in, in the root directory alongside your htaccess file and see if it will work if we point to it.

    Let me know once you have sent the email.

    Thanks!

    @beeblebrox-bsd I have sent the wordfence-waf.php file to you via email.

    Make sure to open it and change the paths where I have noted CHANGEPATH in the txt. Then place it in your root directory alongside your htaccess file.

    Then try to optimize as we discussed. Let me know what you get!

    Thanks again!

    Hi @wfadam,

    The solution in this thread stopped working after a WP update. Currently at WordPress 5.7.1 running Zita theme.

    Web page comes up blank, even if logged into wp-admin console. Only way to fix the bug is to disable the WA line in /etc/php/7.x/fpm/php.ini
    ; auto_prepend_file = '/var/www/wp/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/waf/wordfence-waf.php

    Currently WAF is disabled on site due to this issue.

    Regards.
