Cannot find WordPress configuration file

Resolved

My NinjaFirewall is not working after activating Full WAF Mode. Ini File is created with correct path. Here is the output from the troubleshooter tool:

NinjaFirewall (WP edition) troubleshooter v1.9.4

Is it because the wp-content is not in the DOCUMENT_ROOT?

It cannot find your wp-config.php.
You need to use the .htninja file to declare its full path:
```
<?php
/*
 +===========================================================================================+
 | NinjaFirewall optional configuration file                                                 |
 |                                                                                           |
 | See: https://blog.nintechnet.com/ninjafirewall-wp-edition-the-htninja-configuration-file/ |
 +===========================================================================================+
*/
$wp_config = '/var/www/site/wp-config.php'; 
```
Replace “/var/www/site/wp-config.php” with the full path to the file.

That fixed it! Thank you. 🙂

But maybe this should be displayed in the troubleshooter script.
I thought everything was correct because of the line:

wp-config.php : found in /var/www/site/wp-config.php

The troubleshooter script found it because it was executed in the WordPress root folder, while the firewall is executed in the wp-content/plugins/ninjafirewall/lib folder. I’ll check how that could be improved.

Maybe just a hint in the troubleshooter script would help. 🙂
