I’ve sent the code off to our development team to investigate. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. It’s reports like yours that help us keep on top of an ever changing security landscape.

Hi,
Did you make a backup that you can restore from? Here is how we recommend cleaning a hacked site:

Thanks,

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll pass this on.

Hi,
Take a look here first for some ideas:
If that doesn’t help, let us know.

Hi,
We recommend not having two plugins doing the same job. If you want to test Falcon out, make sure you disable WP Super Cache and only run Falcon.
If you are on a shared host, you may want to try disabling Live Traffic for better performance.

Jozef,
Have you upgraded to the latest version of Wordfence? There may be an issue with your current installation. You can export your settings, remove Wordfence and table data, perform a new install of Wordfence. Test with a clean install. You’ll have your exported settings as a backup.

Hi,
If that comment is the only difference you can find, you could edit the file and remove the line of code manually. More tips available here…

You may want to try removing the Wordfence folder via FTP if you are unable to access the WordPress login via a browser.

-Remove the Wordfence directory (or folder if you prefer). If your site has the standard –WordPress structure, you can do this by simply deleting the wp-content/plugins/wordfence/ directory and everything underneath it.-Brian
You may want to take a look in the users database table for WordPress. I’ve had a user injected into the users table on a site of mine through a hack. If it is in the table and you did not create it, delete it with phpMyAdmin.

Thanks for the input. I’ll pass this on.

Hi,
That means a bot is trying to login to your site as a user called “admin”. Since you don’t have a user called “admin” you are safe.

No problem. Log into wp-admin for your site and find Wordfence in the left side-bar. Click on Wordfence. Options will be available once you expand Wordfence.
Hi,
Those are all database errors. Are you able to run a MySQL repair since you have shared hosting or can an admin run one for you?

Hi,
It means someone is trying to login to your site with no name (blank user) entered at sign-in.

Hi Mike,
Wordfence uses WordPress’s built-in wp-mail to send so if it is sending the test email that function is at least working. Do you have a webmail account that you can try as a test? My only other thought is there could be something that has become damaged with your install. A backup and reinstall of Wordfence might be in order.
