My problem is slightly different but seems to stem from the new Wordfence firewall. In my case, installing (or attempting to install) the firewall seems to have broken Bulletproof Security. Five minutes after trying to install the firewall, I refreshed the page as suggested, but received a 500: Internal Server error. After first backing them up, I deleted the .htaccess files in the root folder and subfolder using ftp and upon refreshing the page was able to access wp-admin. But from then on nothing would make Bulletproof work again: I deleted Wordfence and re-uploaded the .htaccess files – another 500 error. I uploaded standard WordPress .htaccess files un-modified by Bulletproof – another 500 error. I deleted Bulletproof, reinstalled Wordfence and managed to install the firewall with standard .htaccess files, but when I tried to reinstall Bulletproof I got another 500 error. I wondered was it an error in Bulletproof, but I updated it on another WordPress installation with no problem. I’m too scared to install the firewall on any of my other sites now, for fear it’ll break Bulletproof. Any suggestions?
