 * Good morning!
    I got a mail to update the plug-in. But after the update, I don’t
   have access to my website or dashboard. I only see this error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /home/.sites/788/site3235843/web/
   wp-includes/mo-waf-config.php on line 2
 * What can I do?
    Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * I have exactly the same problem. My site also displays the error described above.
 * The file mo-waf-config.php looks like this to me:
 * <?php
    $SQL=; $XSS=; $RFI=; $LFI=; $RCE=; $RateLimiting=; $RequestsPMin=; $actionRateL
   =”ThrottleIP”; ?>
 * If I delete almost everything, so that the file mo-waf-config.php only contains
   the following, the page works again:
 * <?php
    ?>
 * But now I don’t know if that’s ok for the security of the site etc. if I do it
   that way.
 * So I would need some good advice on how to proceed.
 * Many greetings
    Christoph
