 * Firstly please delete the /wp-content/plugins/wordfence directory on your website
   to repair it.
 * Then sign into your website. Reinstall Wordfence. Then go to your Wordfence options
   page.
 * Please check the following:
 * Scroll down to where it says:
 * “Update Wordfence automatically when a new version is released?”
 * Do you see a red message talking about LiteSpeed web server?
 * Thanks,
 * Mark.

 * Mark, thank you for your prompt answer. No, I didn’t see any such message. As
   a matter of fact, I got my website back after emptying all page caches. I’m not
   a programmer so I have no idea why it worked, but since the error was issuing
   from two php files somehow related with it, I decided to give it a go. I was 
   fortunate enough to be able to go to my dashboard, for otherwise I wouldn’t have
   known how to do it. But that somehow fixed it. I have Update WF automatically
   unchecked because my server doesn’t allow such a thing and I don’t see any messages
   about LiteSpeed web server.
 * Please take this into account to better deal with this issue if it ever presents
   again.
 * Thank you,
 * Xondra.

 * I had to go and deactivate it permanently due to a want of an answer. Please 
   help or I’ll have to uninstall it and find a replacement.

 * The last report you gave 3 weeks ago was that this was fixed.

 * What has changed since last time? Anything? Did you install any new plugins?
 * I’m assuming you have the falcon engine caching the site?
 * Also, if you have server access can you ssh and type **which php** and tell me
   what it says.
 * Thanks!

 * I’m sorry, but I clearly stated that I somehow fixed it. It still don’t know 
   what made it work then, but it clearly wasn’t a definite fix since it just keeps
   happening. Like I said, I’m not very savvy on this subject but I did check all
   the catching options of the plugin and they are all disabled. I don’t understand
   why this happens or continues to happen.
 * I don’t remember installing anything unusual. It’s not a site I update frequently.
 * I have an objects plugin installed and this is what it says about the php version:
 * PHP version: 5.2.17
 * I hope that helps!
    Thanks in advance.
