 * Hey!
    recently i was trying to migrate my one of the website from one hosting
   to another, but in that there eas a fatal error of wordfence-waf.php file . so
   what i did is came back to my older hosting then website is running perefectly
   so there i just went to my wp dashboard and gone to wordfence and uninstalled
   as removing extended protection and all those stuff, now what else do i needed
   to do?? Do i needed to deactivate the plugin or remove certain files or like 
   something??

 * If you remove ‘extended protection’ that should remove the files, or the code
   from the files, that tells the waf to load first. Or, if you prefer, when you
   migrate the site just don’t take over the .user.ini or wordfence-waf.php files.
   That’s where the specific file paths needed for the files to load are stored.
   Then after you migrate just set the firewall up again. Personally, I always like
   installing my plugins from scratch. If you want the settings, etc from the old
   site, use the import/export functionality on the Wordfence Tools > Import/Export
   page.
