Apparently they were requested to do… something… by the plugin (they didn’t enlarge upon what exactly that was) but that error then stopped. Deactivating and reactivating also appears to have created the originally missing table, wpsf_ip_rules, and no more errors are being logged, so this appears fine now!

It was necessary to remove the error log unfortunately because the log was causing the account to max out their available disk space so we’re unable to look for any historic CREATE errors. * Disk space is presently normal – including for MySQL and there’s no reason why a new table wouldn’t have been able to be created. * It is conceivable that this table might have been created (or tried to have been created) at a time when the account had previously exhausted their available disk space, thus resulting in this error. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] Logos missing URL – 2 websites](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logos-missing-url-2-websites-2/) * [cagsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cagsmith/) * (@cagsmith) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logos-missing-url-2-websites-2/#post-16569248) * Can confirm – have tested on a number of our customers and updating WP Recipe Maker appears to resolve the issue!

Thank you for your reply. One way you could check if APO is active or not is to curl the homepage URL and check the headers. The following will be present if the page is cached via APO * ```wp-block-code CF-Cache-Status: HIT cf-apo-via: tcache ``` * I completely agree – if someone is *not* using APO then they can equally use the CloudFlare integration in LSCWP – no argument from me there. * I understand as well the desire to not have it break certain features in LSCWP– perhaps it would be possible to change the wording of the message which appears in the dashboard? * Something like: * > It appears that you are using the official CloudFlare plugin. Unless you are > using CloudFlare’s Automatic Platform Optimization feature you may wish to > consider using LiteSpeed Cache’s built-in CloudFlare integration module. > You can check if you are using CloudFlare’s APO feature here [LINK TO CLOUDFLARE > SETTINGS PAGE] – check if the switch is toggled to “On”. Click here to disable > the CloudFlare plugin and then go here [LINK TO LSCWP CLOUDFLARE SETTINGS PAGE] > to connect LiteSpeed Cache with CloudFlare * It’s certainly more verbose, but a more helpful message in my opinion. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[LiteSpeed Cache] CloudFlare conflict message/nag](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudflare-conflict-message-nag/) * Thread Starter [cagsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cagsmith/) * (@cagsmith) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloudflare-conflict-message-nag/#post-16512090) * > if I recall correctly , last time I check the APO is needed/used for WP page > caching, so by APO activation present , that would determine the site is running > on CF APO , therefore give a reminder the possible conflict and suggest to > disable * Sorry, I don’t quite understand what you mean here. * However, you don’t need to do any checks about whether or not APO is active in CloudFlare. The only thing you need to check is whether CloudFlare API details are filled out in LiteSpeed Cache. If they are *not* then such a message should not be shown. It’s not useful and is misleading and confusing to end-users. More than one of our users has already disabled the official CloudFlare plugin and killed the ability for CloudFlare to purge it’s cache because they followed the advice in this notification. * These are users who are not using CloudFlare functionality in LiteSpeed Cache. * If what you are saying is that you’re already checking if APO is active and telling users that this may interfere with page caching from LiteSpeed Cache then from a user experience perspective it makes *more* sense to let them know exactly what/where this conflict may be, and to actually recommend them to disable page caching in LiteSpeed Cache. Since CloudFlare APO is a paid feature which is proven to offer incredibly fast response times on cached pages (usually around 40ms- 50ms) that seems like the better solution. * Further – I’m aware that the notice can be dismissed, but I’ve seen several times when it’s dismissed and shows right back up again later. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Videopack] Latest update breaks pagination between media library items](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-update-breaks-pagination-between-media-library-items/) * Thread Starter [cagsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cagsmith/) * (@cagsmith) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-update-breaks-pagination-between-media-library-items/#post-16442518) * Thanks Kyle – I can confirm the update appears to have corrected this issue now! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] 2FA validation returns blank screen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2fa-validation-returns-blank-screen/) * Thread Starter [cagsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cagsmith/) * (@cagsmith) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2fa-validation-returns-blank-screen/#post-16035234) * Hi Peter, * I think we tracked this down now – the new way that Wordfence 2FA now works appears to conflict with a firewall rule we have in place and was returning a 402 response on wp-login.php for affected users. * I’ve disabled this rule presently – we’ll see how it plays out but this should hopefully now be resolved. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] 2FA validation returns blank screen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2fa-validation-returns-blank-screen/) * Thread Starter [cagsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cagsmith/) * (@cagsmith) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2fa-validation-returns-blank-screen/#post-16030585) * Hi there, * There is a caching plugin, but this gets cleared whenever a plugin is updated. * The issue persists when using a new browser/incognito mode. * Additionally, the issue goes away immediately when reverting to a previous version of wordfence. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] 2FA validation returns blank screen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2fa-validation-returns-blank-screen/) * Thread Starter [cagsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cagsmith/) * (@cagsmith) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2fa-validation-returns-blank-screen/#post-16028475) * Incidentally, in case anyone else has this issue, the secondary 2FA screen can be bypassed by entering the OTP after the password on the main login screen ( for example, if your password is Secret123, and your OTP is 123456, you’ll enter your password as: Secret123123456) – this will permit login until Wordfence can review/address this. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Wordfence brakes complete site design](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-brakes-complete-site-design/) * [cagsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cagsmith/) * (@cagsmith) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-brakes-complete-site-design/#post-16027628) * Have you verified that the firewall is in “learning mode”? If you immediately set it to active it doesn’t “know” your site yet and may well block needed features. * Also – it sounds like you may be using something like Autoptimize, or a caching plugin which manipulates CSS/JS… be sure to purge any caching and so forth. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Super Page Cache – Cloudflare Cache, Page Speed & Core Web Vitals] Incompatibility with certain plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incompatibility-with-certain-plugins/) * Thread Starter [cagsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cagsmith/) * (@cagsmith) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incompatibility-with-certain-plugins/#post-15175106) * I understand this, but the issue is not with Imagify.
