 * I´m having a very strange problem.
    Trying to save changes I´ve made in my cache
   plugin, and I get an error, 403,Wordfence have blocked the action, when trying
   to save the changes. The strange is, on this site I don´t have Wordfence installed:-)
   I have it on several other domains hosted at the same server. How is that possible
   to happen, and how to solve it?

 * Hi [@reswpme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reswpme/),
 * What is most likely happening here is that the site with the cache plugin is 
   installed in a sub-folder of another WordPress site where Wordfence is installed–
   and the Firewall has been optimized ([Extended Protection](https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/optimizing-the-firewall/#basic-wordpress-protection-vs-extended-protection)).
 * You can force Wordfence to completely ignore what happens in the sub-folder in
   question by placing a “_.user.ini_” file with “_auto\_prepend\_file = none_” 
   in the said sub-folder. –as discussed in [this topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-in-root-domain-prevents-certain-actions-in-subdomain/).

 * Thanks for the help.
    Yes I figured that out, it´s an addon domain in cPanel,
   so I fixed it earlier.
