That seems to be an issue with respect to the beta version. I’ll run it by the development team and see if they have any insight.

@emily – is this happening with every IP address that you permanently block, or just the one?

@sy278, you may have already checked this, but there is an option to permanently block IP addresses on the Block IPs page. The default behavior is to block temporarily.

Try rebuilding your wordfence-waf.php file using the following:
```
<?php
// Before removing this file, please verify the PHP ini setting 'auto_prepend_file' does not point to this.

if (file_exists('/home/institutsh/www/wp2014/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/waf/bootstrap.php')) {
    define("WFWAF_LOG_PATH", '/home/institutsh/www/wp2014/wp-content/wflogs/');
    include_once '/home/institutsh/www/wp2014/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/waf/bootstrap.php';
}
?>
```

Hi,

Yes, Wordfence should run fine with W3 Total Cache.

Hi,

Is the IP access showing up in Wordfence or in Google Analytics? If it’s the latter, then it’s referrer spam, and you can find more details on that here:

Hi atdavie,

I don’t think Wordfence would cause that, but you can try renaming your wordfence folder in wp-content/plugins to something else, and then attempt retrieving your password.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Bican,

I can’t be more precise without more information, but as the error message suggests, Wordfence is attempting to connect to a server (to resolve IP addresses), but the URL it’s trying to connect to is malformed in some way or another.

Trying to discern what’s changed on your site/host within the last month or so may be helpful.

If you haven’t done so already, I’d suggest updating to the latest Wordfence version.

Regards

Hi Bican,

Where are you seeing this error? What, if anything, are you attempting to do when it’s occurring?

You can, alternatively, re-create the file if you know the full path of your hosting account directory. The file belongs in your website’s root folder (where wp-config.php, index.php, etc. reside), and consists of the following:
```
<?php
// Before removing this file, please verify the PHP ini setting 'auto_prepend_file' does not point to this.

if (file_exists('<full/path/to/directory>/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/waf/bootstrap.php')) {
    define("WFWAF_LOG_PATH", '<full/path/to/directory>/wp-content/wflogs/');
    include_once '<full/path/to/directory>/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/waf/bootstrap.php';
}
?>
```
