 * I had about a dozen custom blocking firewall rules which used a mixture of conditions
   like Hostname, referrer, browser etc
 * All these rules are missing in V7 update.
 * Can’t see any custom rules on [https://websitename/wp-admin/admin.php?page=WordfenceWAF#top#blocking](https://websitename/wp-admin/admin.php?page=WordfenceWAF#top#blocking)
 * Not sure if they exist but are just not being shown (UI issue); don’t know if
   they are still being actioned despite being absent from interface or have been
   lost..
 * Frustrating

 * Hi,
    This isn’t normal when the plugin is updated, are you sure “wflogs” directory
   wasn’t deleted for any reason in the past days? could you please open this file(/
   wp-content/wflogs/config.php) and search for “whitelistedURLParams” then share
   a [screenshot](https://www.wordfence.com/help/advanced/troubleshooting/#how-to-take-a-screenshot)
   showing a couple of lines after this line?
 * Thanks.
