I have had issues with WordFench and cant uninstall it without my site being broken

I have to then go back in to the cpanel and rename the theme for wordpress to work with the default theme then reactivate wordfench

It stops some plugs ins working properly which i need

I have to now go back to a saved version I did 3 months ago without this Little F*****er and do all that work again!

Who can i talk too?

I have had this issue with the last 2 versions of wordfence. you have to rename or delete the wordfence folder to get your wp site to work again.

You can always rename the Wordfence folder in the plugins directory.

Hi peterzorph,

Sorry you are having so much trouble. I am not exactly sure what is going on with your site but there are some things you can try. We are working on Migration documentation that may help in your situation. Also, here is some documentation on manually uninstalling the Wordfence Firewall, which could be your problem.

Let me know how it goes.
