 * I received the following message for my blog, inspireacreation.com. Please advise.
 * Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or
   theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated
   email.
 * In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Wordfence Security.
 * The message contained the error details, but for security reasons, I have not
   included that here unless you request it.

 * Hey [@reneass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reneass/),
 * Can you please share the error details? Feel free to mask any sensitive information.
 * Also, can you please share any relevant errors from the PHP error logs? If you’re
   not sure where these are your host can provide them to you.
 * Please let me know.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald

 * Same Here. I was able to recover the website via C-Panel File Manager, but after
   re-activating all of the plug ins, Wordfence was the driving plug in of the fatal
   error. When I attempted to activate the plug in, WP issues the following warning:
   Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. All other plugins
   were successfully re-activated and the website is back up and running as normal.
 * After deleting and re-installing the plugin, the problem persists. I don’t have
   errors logged, so can’t provide them yet.

 * Hey [@wstava1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wstava1/),
 * Can you please start a new thread per the Forum Guidelines? I’m not sure your
   issue is going to be the same as the OP.
 * Also, try manually resetting Wordfence.

 * The original poster has started a new thread and we’ll continue to troubleshoot
   there.
