    I’ve received own of those fatal error warning emails from WordPress. It says the error is with the Wordfence plugin. Here are the details…

    Error Details
    =============
    An error of type E_COMPILE_ERROR was caused in line 74 of the file /home/XXXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/wordfence.php. Error message: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘lib/wordfenceConstants.php’
    —————-

    Is this something I should worry about? The website seems fine.

    I don’t know if it’s related, but it’s a LightSpeed server and I did make a change to the wordfence settings a couple of days ago to ‘Bypass the LiteSpeed noabort check’ (on the recommendation of my hosting company).

    Other technical details that might be of use:

    Wordfence: 7.3.5.
    PHP Version: 5.6.40
    WordPress Version: 5.2.2

    Any help or advice much appreciated.

    Hi @danbooth,

    LiteSpeed has been known to kill Wordfence while it’s updating files. When an update is interrupted, some files may be missing from the update.

    What you can do, is reinstall Wordfence – and those files should be updated and put back in place.

    Thanks for the quick response @wfdave.

    I’ll try re-installing as you’ve suggested.
