    Some auto created whitelisted urls, since Wordfence firewall was in learning mode cannot be deleted.
    When i’m trying to delete these. Wordfence says configuration has been saved, but they’re not deleted.
    Can i manually find these entries somewhere in a file or the database and get rid of them?

    Same here, I only noticed it after 6.1.4 today, so not sure if it’s been the case all along.

    OK i got it.
    Select Edit, edit the URL to something short like /wp-content, save it and than you delete it successfully !

    Hi,

    This will be fixed in an upcoming release — we’ve confirmed the issue when certain special characters appear in the URL. Thanks!

    Hi nikfuente,

    Figured it out as well. Thanks anyway.
    Matt, do you have any estimate for when will the bug be fixed?

    @krko: I don’t have an estimate yet, but it will be soon. In the meantime, if you need to remove a whitelist rule that contains special characters, you can edit the rule and replace it’s path with a “/” then save the changes — then you should be able to delete it.
