    Just installed new WF version 6.1.2, when I tried to run the Config I get this message;
    “The Wordfence Web Application Firewall is designed to run via a PHP ini setting called auto_prepend_file in order to ensure it runs before any potentially vulnerable code runs. This PHP setting is currently in use, and is including this file:
    /xxx/xxxxxx/home/xxxxxx/protect.php”
    I have altered the path names for security.

    This site is hosted on GoDaddy, I checked the Hosting File Manager and could not find the file path mentioned, seems I do not have access that high. Could not reach it thru FTP either. Is it safe to proceed with the WF config anyways?

    Hi RayBoyd1455,

    It should be safe to proceed, the Firewall installation procedure can include that file to maintain your site’s current functionality.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Ran into some issues, but after a fresh install of WF the config completed.
    Thanks
