 * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/waf/)
 * I have Wordfence installed on all of my sites and they I have run “Optimized 
   Wordfense Firewall” on the root site (www.URTech.ca). All other sites are in 
   subfolders on that site.
 * One of the subsites (www.VoteLeela.com) had some malicious files installed and
   today WF removed them. I was about to “Optimized Wordfense Firewall” of this 
   sub site (www.VoteLeela.com) but found it said to contact support through this
   forum it I do not recognize a file (/home/content/22/7568022/html/wordfence-waf.
   php ). I do not recognize that file; in fact looking through FileZilla, I don’t
   even recognize the path.
 * To be clear the folder stucture is:
    [http://www.URTech.ca](http://www.URTech.ca)
   is the WordPress primary site (hosted by GoDaddy) and I have a dozen other WordPress
   sites (including [http://www.VoteLeela.com](http://www.VoteLeela.com)) in folders
   in the root [http://www.URTech.ca](http://www.URTech.ca) directory.
 * What should I do to “Optimized Wordfense Firewall” on these subsites?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi [@calgarytech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calgarytech/),
 * If I’m understanding correctly, you’re saying that your site is hosted like this?
 * > /folder
   >  /urtech.ca /wp-admin/ /voteleela.com/ /wp-admin/ /another-site.com//
   > wp-admin/
 * In this case, you may only need to install Wordfence once on the root site (urtech.
   ca) and Wordfence’s WAF will also run on the subdomain sites as well.
 * Can you check if this is the case?
    To check, only have Wordfence installed on
   urtech.ca, then on another site, such as voteleela.com, visit the site and see
   if it shows up in live traffic (on urtech.ca).

 * Yes, that is how I have it setup.
 * Thanks I will leave only the root site with a WAF.
 * … any idea what /home/content/22/7568022/html/wordfence-waf.php is ?
 * Thanks.
