Your posts are stored in the database, specifically in the wp_posts table. There are plenty of articles out there that will help you get you through of restoring your site, best is probably if you do that without any plugins or themes activated. I found one article that, running quickly through it, appears to help you in achieving just that: https://pagely.com/blog/reset-wordpress-website-without-plugin/

Note, I am not the author of the article, nor did I ever try doing what is being described there, so feel free to either use it or find another one that works better for your needs. Ultimately you will have to follow the one that works best for your needs and specific skill set.

I hope this helps.

This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with curl (7.19.7) or openssl (1.0.1e-fips) version as I have the issue on one of my wf installs, and not on the other one, and both are on shared hosting by the same host. In my case I’m dealing with a friend’s install that didn’t have wordfence installed before, and got hacked. I’m getting the curl error at plugin activation, basically cannot use wordfence because of this error.

@wfalaa can I email you my report too?

Thanks.

I don’t know if they impose limitations, but if I knew which ones, I could ask their support. Can you help me with that?

Yes, I tried that setting, like I said above, I tried following the linked doc to no avail.

Interestingly I have 2 more wp sites under the same account, yet only this one shows the error. I guess I should try turning off plugins, and gradually turning them back on…?

ok, will check next time I get one delivered into my SPAM folder.

@mountainguy2 I’m quite familiar with filters and settings, but thanks for the pointer anyway. However, what you’re saying would really only be true if WF emails were ALWAYS going into my SPAM folder, but that’s not the case – it is only happening periodically, so I was assuming WF could also take necessary steps, if any, especially if it’s not only me reporting this. It’s good that your life is perfect, and that you cracked this one, but not everyone would do, necessarily, so I’d really be curious about the input from one of the authors…

@mountainguy2 I never whitelisted any emails before, not even sure where to do it. I thought the “mark as spam” or “not spam” options would actually take care of it, at some level at least. I have already marked Worfence emails as “not spam” several times before, yet they still end up in my SPAM folder time to time.

Thank you, @wfasa.

Indeed, that’s true, and we’re learning every day, but we’re not all learning the same thing… ??

I was sure a security expert will jump on the word “assumption” ??

yes, it could be a learning experience, but to be completely honest with you, I’m not overly motivated digging through docs and trying to find vulnerabilities. But hey, maybe you are, at the end it’s not a big file, it would take you… what… 5 mins…? ??

so why are you giving it 5 stars then? ??

by the way, your plugin hasn’t been updated in more than 2 years, also your website seems to be down, anything happened?

Well, it isn’t worth going through a large database for such a small thing, so I’ll have no choice but to assume it’s ok.

I get that, but the point I was trying to make is that I would not be able to identify if it has vulnerabilities detected since the last 2 years since this plugin has been written. So is there a way I can somehow automatically check it against some tool? Any other recommendations you may have?

Thank you.

I do like the email updates, but what about manual scans or any other data that I only have access to if I specifically log in to an individual site like most recent successful / unsuccessful logins, blocked IPs… etc. Having several sites (and I can imagine some folks may have several dozens, if not more) one can easily understand what a tedious work it is to keep them all clean of issues and run regular scans on them.

Yes, it does make sense, thank you. Might be an idea to try and push changes along with the update, just to save confusion, others might panic more than I do ?? The reason I contacted you was really to get an official confirmation for something I had a pretty good idea of. Thank you.
