wordfence-waf.php

Hi @papireper,

Can you edit the file .htaccess or .user.ini and remove the following line?

auto_prepend_file = ****

The **** will be the file path to /wordfence-waf.php

Once you’ve removed and saved that file, you can safely delete wordfence-waf.php.

Hi Dave,

Thank for your fast reply!

As I wrote before, I’ve already edited .htaccess and deleted user.ini.

.htaccess only contains basic infos now:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Any other suggestion…? ??

Hi again,

I think you may have a master value or another file that is referencing the wordfence-waf.php file.

Can you try this:

1. Create a file called info.php within your document root
2. Put the script:

<?php

phpinfo();

3. Save the script, and open https://yourwebsite.com/info.php
4. Look for auto_prepend_file

For example: https://i.imgur.com/nGbksFv.png

If there is a master value, or the local value is still wordfence-waf.php – you will need to check cPanel or ask your host why this value is still being set.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for suggestion!

There is no value (auto_prepend_file no value). Can you check it, please?

Hi again,

So I took a look at it, and couldn’t find any references to wordfence-waf.php within it.

You should remove info.php now that you no longer need it for testing.

Can you tell me what error shows up (or if it is a blank page – can you look at your PHP error logs) after you delete that file?

Dave

Dear Dave,

Thanks for your efforts!

Somehow my host provider deleted that file, so the problem solved.

I’ve tried the hole process on another domain with other hosting and it worked so the problem should have been on the side of the host provider.

Thank you again!
