 * I’m having issues with setting up the Firewall on my server. I am running 3 single
   installations of wordpress on one server setup in the following fashion:
 * **public_html – Installation for website 1 at top level
    public_html/website2–
   Installation for website 2 in a subdirectory public_html/website3 – Installation
   for website 3 in a subdirectory
 * When I started setting up the firewall I noticed the following tip:
 * NOTE: If you have separate WordPress installations with Wordfence installed within
   a subdirectory of this site, it is recommended that you perform the Firewall 
   installation procedure on those sites before this one.
 * However when I try to run the setup in the subdirectory installations I get the
   following error:
 * _**Security check : Invalid Access**_
 * Starting the setup at the top level let’s me proceed, however I haven’t yet completed
   that due to the sub directory issue.
 * Any advice to get around this or should I just setup the firewall on the top 
   level site?

   updated. Deactivate it first then you can update.
