    My save buttons are not not saving and I have database tables missing ( Tables missing (prefix wp_): wfVulnScanners, wfNet404s
    ) and I am getting File “config.php” is unreadable and File “config.php” is unwritable in the diagnostic panel. I read the help documentation, but I’m not sure what to do to fix this issue. I am using wordpress 4.9.6 and wordfence 7.1.6 hosted on a lightspeed server.
    Thanks

  • Hi Robert,

    In this case, I recommend going through a full uninstall of the plugin then reinstalling it again. You can do that following these steps:

    – Delete “wordfence” directory from (/wp-content/plugins/)
    – Delete “wflogs” directory from (/wp-content/)
    – Check either “.htaccess” file or “.user.ini” -depending on your server configuration- and remove any code snippets wrapped by # Wordfence WAF and # END Wordfence WAF.
    – Remove “wordfence-waf.php” file from your website root directory.
    – Drop Wordfence database tables using any database management tool like phpMyAdmin for example. (these tables starts with wf for example wp_wfHoover, wp_wfIssues, wp_wfKnownFileList, etc…).

    After that you can reinstall the plugin again with two things taken in consideration:
    – Your database user has full privileges on the database.
    – There is write/read permissions set to the owner of (/wp-content/wflogs/) directory and this owner is the same user that was set in your web server configuration.

    You can double check both options with your hosting provider.

    Thanks.

    Quite similar issue here and it solved the issue. THX
