 * Hi [@kimggoldston](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimggoldston/)
    Sorry 
   for having such a trouble, to regain access to your website immediately, you 
   can connect to your server via FTP/SFTP and rename Wordfence plugin directory
   to any other name -for example- (/wp-content/plugins/wordfence_disabled), this
   will disable the plugin and you should be able to access your website again.
 * After that, check if this file exists or not (/wordfence/waf/bootstrap.php), 
   if not, then re-installing the plugin should work as a treat, if there was a 
   plugin update in place then something wrong must have happened during the update
   process.
 * Keep me updated,
    Thanks.
