Wordfence Firewall

    Hello,
    When I access my WordPress admin via http the Wordfence Web Application Firewall shows the “Protection Level” as “Extended Protection”.

    However, when I access via https, Wordfence is asking me to Optimize the Wordfence Firewall and shows the “Protection Level” as “Basic WordPress Protection”. I am unable to optimize/configure the Firewallas it states:

    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’m pretty sure https worked fine about a month ago, and as I already mentioned above it works fine for http. Not sure what changed.

    Thanks,
    Clint

    Hi Clint,

    Are you still seeing this? Hopefully it has been resolved in one of the updates, but please let me know if this is still an issue for you.

    Yes I am still seeing it. There are no issues via HTTP. However, HTTPS is still an issue. It used to work fine must be something with one of the latest versions/updates.

    I am only utilizing HTTPS to access the admin side of WordPress. My site is only available over the web as HTTP.

    I access my site admin via a WordPress plugin “WordPress HTTPS (SSL)” by Mike Ems, and a shared Hostgator certificate on a shared server.

    Thanks again,
    Clint
