 * My website recently went white screen for the admin panel. I researched, troubleshot,
   deactivated the plugins and adjusted the themes. I had the site restored and 
   the plugins all remained de-active. As I went about re-activating them. I was
   unable to reactivate this one with a fatal error.
 *  Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * I have version 6.0.24 – I am wondering if this plugin is what caused my site 
   to crash. Or if the site has some malicious code on it that won’t allow me to
   activate the plugin. Any insight would be great!

 * Hi,
 * Have you tried totally removing Wordfence and table data and then doing a reinstall
   of Wordfence?
