    Do you have to install Wordfence in a subdirectory WP installation, even though the parent directory’s WP installation already has the plugin?
    Does it protect the subdirectory installation?

    Hi @pao2 thanks for your query.

    It is recommended to have a Wordfence installation for each WordPress site, rather than relying on one for the whole contents of a parent directory.

    For efficiency, you can exclude the subdirectories from being checked by the parent site in Wordfence > All Options > Advanced Scan Options > Exclude files from scan that match these wildcard patterns and Wordfence > All Options > Activity Report > List of directories to exclude from recently modified file list.

    Thanks,

    Peter.
