• Wordfence generated an error on activation. The output we received during activation was: <div id=’error’> <p class=’wpdberror’>WordPress database error: [Table 'DBNAME.wp_wfConfig' doesn't exist]
    select val from wp_wfConfig where name='disableConfigCaching'</p> </div><div id=’error’> <p class=’wpdberror’>WordPress database error: [Table 'DBNAME.wp_wfConfig' doesn't …[output truncated]

    What’s the cause of this?

  • This looks like the tables weren’t created in installation. Can you verify your mysql user has permissions to create tables in the database and verify that you have not run out of disk space?

    Thanks!

    1) User is myadmin and has full permissions. No issues with other plugins installed.
    2) Yes, lot’s of space.

    I’ve ignored it but wanted to let you know it occurred.
    How much RAM does this plugin consume? Is there any setting that really uses up RAM if activated?

    Live traffic consumes memory but the error you are showing says that tables didn’t actually get created. That tells me its either a permissions issue (just to be clear, I’m talking about the mysql user, not your wordpress admin user) The other possibility is that the install was corrupted at some point for some reason. You might try deleting the plugin and reinstalling to see if that helps. I would check the option to delete all wordfence tables and let them be recreated. This will, of course, delete any setting you have for wordfence so you might want to write down what you have.

    The plugin shouldn’t consume much ram but php has a set amount it can use overall. So if plugin a uses 5mb and plugin b uses 15mb, etc it all adds up. You can increase it in php.ini and change the value on the options page.
