Personally, after WF upgraded itself to 7.0.2 yesterday, I had a text appearing at the top of the dashboard page saying:
“The Wordfence Web Application Firewall cannot run. The configuration files are corrupt or inaccessible by the web server, which is preventing the WAF from functioning. Please verify the web server has permission to access the configuration files. You may also try to rebuild the configuration file by clicking here. It will automatically resume normal operation when it is fixed.”
I backed everything up, clicked the link and it seems to have fixed the problem. Firewall and scanning are now enabled.
Happy camper.
BTW guys, it would be nice if we could see the version # at the top of the dashboard page like before. It would prevent useless clicks to find it in the Extensions page. Just a thought.
I am also having this problem, although I have no errors showing anywhere. I click the “Enable firewall” button, it opens the same page in another browser tab and… nothing 🙁
