Rules not updating

Hey @endingwhy,

How do you have the server-side cron setup? This can occur if there is a server-side cron job on the server that is set up to trigger wp-cron.php (WordPress scheduled tasks) via PHP. If this is the case, that server-side cron job can be changed to run via cURL or WGET instead of directly via PHP. This will make WordPress cron run more like it was intended by WordPress developers. If you’re not sure how to do this your host can help with it.

Please let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Gerroald

Hi,

My WordFence version is 7.4.0. The last rules update for the Wordfence Firewall was unsuccessful, and when I tried to manually update them, I couldn’t. Then I checked some of the previous topics and in one of them was written:
– that I should delete the rules.php file in wp-content/wflogs – I did it and it didn’t work.
– then, I also asked Bluehost to check if they’re not blocking something on their end (some ports that were mentioned in one of the comments in the other topic) and they told me that everything looks fine on their side.

Now, I cannot even download the rules. When I try to do it, it tells me to check the connection of the website with WordFence, which I know I have because I can see my website domain in my WordFence account.

Please help!

Hey @katrintroeva,

Thanks for sharing the steps you’ve taken.

Can you please start a new thread per the Forum Guidelines? The issue you’re experiencing is going to be different than that of the original poster.
