It would be great if there was some sort of indicator that shows the plugin was only functioning on my php-cli, but not on the server instance. ESPECIALLY being that pci compliance requires having a WAF active. * The only reason I even knew something was wrong was because I was using wpcli, which most users will never do, so to me this is concerning. * I understand it can be some sort of configuration issue related to my hosting, so I’m not blaming Wordfence in any way. Its a free plugin and works in most scenarios. I appreciate the work put in to make this the top WAF for WordPress. * I was going to purchase a premium version as well, but have to hold off as the plugin is not functioning on my site, and cant justify paying for something that doesn’t currently work for us. I hope we can resolve this, so I can proceed with a premium plan. * Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] PHP Error on wpCLI – WP Engine Hosted](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-on-wpcli-wp-engine-hosted/) * Thread Starter [dabricksz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dabricksz/) * (@dabricksz) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-on-wpcli-wp-engine-hosted/#post-13788948) * [@wfadam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfadam/) contents of those files were sent as requested.

If you are only worried about the URL and not the data on old site, then yes that SHOULD work, but yes you may also want to run a search and replace on the database (with a plugin, wpcli, or directly on database) for good measure to make sure all of the references to the old URL are removed and replaced with new one. * If you need any user accounts, logins, or other data you will also need to import the database from the old site. - This reply was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by [dabricksz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dabricksz/).
