# Wordfence Config error

 * When running the WF Diagnostic tool a Wordfence Config error displays. The specific
   message is:
 *  Wordfence Config Ability to save Wordfence settings to the database.
 * One solution indicates to repair the table, however this solution does not work
   here. The database is using InnoDB, which does not allow tables to be repaired.
   Changing the wp_wfConfig table to MyISAM allows repair table to run successfully,
   but the error message remains in Diagnostics.
 * Any thoughts?

 * Hi David
 * We would like to have a look at your Wordfence diagnostics report. Please go 
   to the top of the “**_Diagnostics_**” tab on the Wordfence “**_Tools_**” page.
   There will be a “**_SEND REPORT BY EMAIL_**” button to send the diagnostics report.
   Enter **_wftest [at] wordfence [dot] com_** as the email and **_[@da](https://wordpress.org/support/users/da/)_**
   as the forum username please.
 * Once you have emailed me the diagnostics report can you reply here to let me 
   know that it has been sent. This is important in the unlikely event that your
   installation of WordPress is having an issue with sending mail.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi [@pao2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pao2/)
 * As per forum guidelines below can you open your own topic please:
 * _**“Unless users have the exact same version of WordPress on the same physical
   server hosted by the same hosts with the same plugins, theme, and configurations,
   then the odds are the solution for one user will not be the same for another.
   For this reason, we recommend people start their own topics.”**_
