Logged in as admin breaks the entire site when Wordfence is enabled

Hi @yogogs, thanks for getting in touch.

This looks potentially like some Javascript or style (CSS) data that’s obtained from an external server is being blocked as a false-positive. The reason why this may only happen with admins could be down to different scripts being called to check versions, or something a regular visitor wouldn’t have permission to do. I’d try a period in Learning Mode.

From the Wordfence Dashboard click on Manage WAF. Then you will see Basic Firewall Options > Web Application Firewall Status. Change the option to Learning Mode. Now visit the pages that were causing issues as an admin. This will help Wordfence learn that these actions are normal and it will allow them in the future. After you have finished performing the actions, switch the WAF from Learning Mode back to Enabled and Protecting. Now test to see if these pages work correctly.

Thanks,

Peter.
