    Most likely the permission settings for your system is blocking it.

    Go to the WordFence -> Tools -> Diagnostics tab and look at the top items there to confirm that they are all marked as OK regarding writing to filesystem and configurations.
    If they are not all marked with OK or check marks, your file-system need a permission adjustment.

    Hi @anwarabir,

    It does indeed indicate a file system error when writing to the wflogs folder.

    Along with the checks suggested by @crudhunter, could you also please get in touch with your hosting provider to check if they have implemented a rule that prevents writing to the wflogs folder regardless of permissions.
