 * Since 21st May I am finding thousands of errors in my log similar to this below:
 * > Unable to open /home/username/public_html/wp-content/wflogs/ips.php for reading
   > and writing.
 * I also get occasional bunches of errors like this:
 * > WordPress database error Got error 28 from storage engine for query SHOW FULL
   > COLUMNS FROM `wp_3wfLockedOut` ….(rest of line removed)…
 * followed by similar error 28 messages for:
 * `wp_3wfBlocks`
    `wp_3wfCrawlers` `wp_3wfReverseCache` `wp_3wfHits` `wp_3wfScanners`
 * I am using Wordfence 6.1.8. The site appears to be behaving normally apart from
   the errors in the log.
 * I looked at file permissions for /wflogs/ips.php but found I do not have the 
   ability to alter these – is this where the problem lies or should I be looking
   elsewhere?

 * Hi JohnP,
 * The first error sounds like permissions, but the database error 28 is typically
   related to running out of storage space. So the root of the problem may be your
   disk is getting full. Check into that first and let me know.
