Hi!
It looks like your wp_wfHoover table has crashed or gone missing. I would recommend you use phpMyAdmin to see if you can find the table there, and if you can see if it needs to be repaired.Hi @lojze,
They are database tables. If you aren’t familiar with how databases work, I wouldn’t recommend you delete any files related to database tables.wfLeechers and wfNet404s are not used anymore, so you can truncate those via a tool like phpMyAdmin for example. wfHits contains your Live Traffic data, so if you truncate that you’ll have no history on the site. I recommend you keep it, and if you want to reduce the size of it you should change the Wordfence option “Amount of Live Traffic data to store (number of rows)” to a value lower than 1000.
Hi!
Yes, to get the site back up, delete the “wordfence” folder in wp-content (using FTP or any file manager your web host provides will work). Then you can reinstall Wordfence from the “Plugins” page in WordPress admin.Hi @mvhplank,
The issue was in 7.1.14 and the fix is to upgrade Wordfence to 7.1.15.That’s very helpful thanks for sharing @notanonymous!
Hi @tmuikku,
Thanks for that info! If you are able to activate Wordfence currently, would you mind sending me a diagnostics report from Wordfence please?1. Go to Wordfence > Tools > Diagnostics
2. At the top of the page there is an option to send diagnostics
3. Send to asa@wordfence.com and mention your username tmuikkuLet me know if that works! If that does not work, it would be super helpful if you could instead send me a phpinfo() printout. You would then create a .php file, call it any name and just put this in it
<?php phpinfo(); ?>Then either send a link to that file to asa@wordfence.com or use Chrome to print the page as PDF and email that to asa@wordfence.com.
Let me know!

Hi @subzerostudio!
In the more recent version of Wordfence we’ve split up how some of the data is stored in the wflogs folder which is the Firewalls immediate memory. I think something must have gone wrong in the migration process when upgrading from 7.1.7 to 7.1.15. Specifically, it seems like the files in wflogs aren’t being migrated as they are supposed to.
The CPU usage is probably from the site repeatedly trying to get/set malware signatures because the files in wflogs aren’t working correctly.
It could be a one-time occurrence that won’t happen if you try upgrading again but if not, please zip up a copy of wflogs (located in wp-content), remove wflogs, and let it regenerate itself. At this point your Firewall will be reset, so you should go in and set it to “Enabled and protecting”.
Let me know how it goes!
Hi @artemlatenkov07,
Can you send me a screenshot of what the expanded results look like? They should have several buttons.Hi @acwtfsf87bb,
It makes no sense at all to be honest. I would probably recommend you reach out to whoever is hosting your site to inquire about this. It’s technically not possible for your firewall to affect how your website sees IP addresses if they’re not in the same network. If your internet service provider is the same as your web host, I suppose they theoretically could be in the same network.Hi @danjde,
I understand it’s not easy but to keep your site safe it’s important to only use software that is actively maintained. The only alternative would be to hire a developer who can look in to the EightDegree_sanitize_term_translate function in your theme and see if they can fix it.Wish you the best of luck with your site for now!
Hi again,
As far as I can tell it’s trying to get blocks, so that’s quite strange then why it would be trying to get blocks that don’t exist. Do you have any cache on the site? Opcache maybe? If so, I’d recommend try clearing that.Hi @gvaleria,
It sounds like there is something wrong with your existing blocks. I would recommend you1. Deleting all blocks from the Wordfence > Firewall > Blocking page
2. If that doesn’t work, use phpMyAdmin to truncate the table wfBlocks7 (empty it)Let me know if that works!
Hi @gorem,
Since the files don’t exist, there isn’t really any need to block anything unless the requests are so frequent that you are running out of server resources or something like that./.well-known/security.txt would be a file intended to be used for declaring security standards. It’s not a wildly accepted standard at this time afaik. If you search for the file you can find more information.
/apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png and /apple-touch-icon.png are files that iPhones for example will be looking for automatically. Regular visitors could be requesting these so I would not recommend you block them.
To sum up, before you block anything, do some research on the specific request, else you may end up blocking things you don’t want to block.
Best of luck with your site for now!
Hi @elainewildash,
Can you try excluding .htaccess and .user.ini (if you have one) when you generate the backup? The Wordfence Firewall loads via a PHP value called auto_prepend_file and an absolute path is needed for that. It’s located in one of the aforementioned files. If you need to include .htaccess in the backup, you can undo the Wordfence Firewall optimization before the backup as well via the Wordfence Firewall options page.Hi @danjde,
Since this isn’t something we’re seeing on other sites and it seems to be related to a theme which is no longer being actively maintained by it’s developers I’m afraid there isn’t much we can do. I would recommend you try to find a replacement for your theme.
