Wordfence and UpdraftPlus Compatibility?

    Updraftplus: 2.12.18.22
    Wordfence: 6.1.14
    Wordpress 4.6

    I run a lot of sites and use WordFence on most of them and Updraftplus on all of them. I periodically check them all to make sure everything is up to date and take an independent backup.

    I have just come across a scenario where I requested a backup in Updraftplus, the dialogue and user feedback was normal, the backup was created. When I switched to the backup view and attempted to download them the yellow bar that normally appears to indicate that the backup was being prepared did not appear.

    As I had also just reconfigured the firewall in WordFence which is a quite recent addition, I suspected an interaction between the two. I deactivated WordFence and then went back to the backup screen and tried to regenerate them. They worked this time and I was able to download them.

    I turned WordFence back on and it still works ok. I have not got around to checking any other sites yet, this happened this morning (22 Aug 16) with up to date code for everything.

    I could not detect anything in the .htaccess file that might limit the functionality of Updraftplus while Wordfence was installed and running.

    As I continue going around my sites if I see it again I will report it here. Right now the problem is resolved for me anyway.

    Hi,

    It is possible that there was a temporary glitch that prevented the download from triggering.

    If the issue arises again, could you turn on the UpdraftPlus debug mode? This option can be found in the ‘expert settings’ section of the Settings tab.
    Then, attempt to download the file again.

    This will create a log file in the ‘wp-content/updraft’ directory of your site. Could you then send us a copy of that log?
