Unfortunely no it says 48%

When I try optimizing it I have this message:
Installation Successful
The changes have not yet taken effect. If you are using LiteSpeed or IIS as your web server or CGI/FastCGI interface, you may need to wait a few minutes for the changes to take effect since the configuration files are sometimes cached. You also may need to select a different server configuration in order to complete this step, but wait for a few minutes before trying. You can try refreshing this page.

But then it doesn’t work. I still only have the basic protection level…

Many thanks

Hi again Adam,

Thanks for all your help with that! Unfortunately it’s all very confusing for me….

My host showed me a link to access some detail information via phpinfolws.php
I have seen this:
Directive Local value Master value
auto_prepend_file /htdocs/wordfence-waf.php no value

Then they told me to send them screenshot of the problem but I’m not sure what the problem is. Isit the fact that there is no “master value” ?

Is the above information of any help?

Many thanks

Hi,
They have explained how to edit the files.
The .htaccess was fine but the user.ini file had the following:

; Wordfence WAF
auto_prepend_file = ‘/htdocs/wordfence-waf.php’
; END Wordfence WAF

I have changed to what you recommended:
; Wordfence WAF
auto_prepend_file = ‘/path/to/waf/wordfence-waf.php’
; END Wordfence WAF

The change is saved and “stays”. But one I try again to optimize the wordfence firewall with the recommended “Apache + CGI/Fast CGI” I always get this message:

“The changes have not yet taken effect. If you are using LiteSpeed or IIS as your web server or CGI/FastCGI interface, you may need to wait a few minutes for the changes to take effect since the configuration files are sometimes cached. You also may need to select a different server configuration in order to complete this step, but wait for a few minutes before trying. You can try refreshing this page.”
and user.ini goes back to being:
; Wordfence WAF
auto_prepend_file = ‘/htdocs/wordfence-waf.php’
; END Wordfence WAF

I have adjusted the path again several time but keep having this problem…

Many thanks for your help

Hi,

Thanks for these details.

I’m not sure what you mean by root directory and how to access it… ?

Thank you

Thanks a lot !

I have changed the IP detection but I can’t manage to optimize the fire wall.

When I follow your guide lines and the recommended “Apache + CGI/FastCGI” option I have this message :
“The changes have not yet taken effect. If you are using LiteSpeed or IIS as your web server or CGI/FastCGI interface, you may need to wait a few minutes for the changes to take effect since the configuration files are sometimes cached. You also may need to select a different server configuration in order to complete this step, but wait for a few minutes before trying. You can try refreshing this page.”

I have waited a while a tried several times but changes don’t apply and I can’t manage to have the “extend protection”. Shall I change and choose something else or manual configuration ? I don’t know anything about this so could you please advise ?

Thanks a lot & have a great day !
