 * Hi KTS915,
    ok thanks for the quick advice – I’ll install the free version of
   s2member and do some testing before we go all the way with a2member pro. Have
   a good day. Dave

 * Hi there,
    any update on this – as since enabling wordfence my database grows
   and grows. I remove transients and revisions but the database continues to grow.
   I am considering WP-Optimize for this. Any advice is appreciated. Regards, Davef

 * Hi Brian,
    thanks for this suggestion – I have disabled a few more things, jsut
   ran a scan and will check on the db size. As shown on a few other posts. I tried
   the truncate table wp_wfHoover – Our host showed me this output and the wp_options.
   MYD and .MYI seems to large as does the … mysql mysql 171M Feb 24 22:26 wp_options.
   MYD … mysql 20M Feb 24 22:26 wp_options.MYI … mysql 14M Feb 24 22:26 wp_wfHits.
   ibd … mysql mysql 10M Feb 24 12:57 wp_wfFileMods.ibd … mysql mysql 9.0M Feb 24
   12:57 wp_wfConfig.ibd … mysql 9.0M Feb 24 22:26 wp_wfLeechers.ibd
 * Is it ok to empty the wp_wfHits, wp_wfFileMods and wp_wfLeechers tables? (oops
   already done this and wordfence still seems ok – scan works).
    I have Live Traffic
   disabled since the db growth was noticed (from less than 80MB pre-wordfence to
   211MB) – I have increased our quota to 300 but this is a little unusual for a
   standard wp using minimal avada + woocommerce.
 * Any advice is appreciated – I do intend to go to the pro version btw 🙂
    Regards,
   Dave

 * Hi Paul,
    the setting needs to be a zero for false with regard to restricting
   access – so I advised the wrong way around above 🙂 sorry bout that. For yours
   I would set them back to a zero and enable one at a time while testing your access
   and keep your database open to note the changes and to modify if your admin account
   access breaks. Not doing all at once within wp may be a safer bet. Doing in Steps
   maybe. This works as an example. a:5:{s:13:”administrator”;a:2:{s:13:”theme_profile”;
   b:1;s:14:”restrict_admin”;b:0;}s:6:”editor”;a:2:{s:13:”theme_profile”;b:1;s:14:”
   restrict_admin”;b:1;}s:6:”author”;a:2:{s:13:”theme_profile”;b:1;s:14:”restrict_admin”;
   b:0;}s:11:”contributor”;a:2:{s:13:”theme_profile”;b:1;s:14:”restrict_admin”;b:
   1;}s:10:”subscriber”;a:2:{s:13:”theme_profile”;b:1;s:14:”restrict_admin”;b:1;}}

 * Apologies for not letting you know this solution sooner.
    Database wp_options
   table has the access levels as set by TML. Searching for restrict_admin will 
   bring the settings – where it has “restrict_admin”;b:0;}” change the 0 to a 1
   for administrator (may depend on how many administrators) but 0 means no access.
   I realise your installation may have been new enough to just re do it – but not
   ideal for me. Searching the database and fixing there is better and recommended.
   Cheers and thanks for your input.

 * Hi there – I have done the same thing – I noted when choosing to disable access
   that administrator was greyed out and therefore assumed it would not be one of
   the disabled for access to the backend.
    I do have my database access but am 
   not sure which setting to modify in users users meta? Any advice on this would
   be appreciated? Thank you.
