 * Wordfence wants to run through .auto_prepend_file but it’s saying it is already
   in use.
 * “To make your site as secure as possible, the Wordfence Web Application Firewall
   is designed to run via a PHP setting called auto_prepend_file, which ensures 
   it runs before any potentially vulnerable code runs. This PHP setting is currently
   in use, and is including this file:
 * /usr/share/php/prepend.php” – I don’t know this file and Google does not either.
   Anyone know what I should do?

 * Hi [@digitalie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digitalie/),
 * You should be prompted to include this within our “_wordfence-waf.php_” file 
   which should maintain compatibility with your site, or you can opt to override
   the existing PHP setting.
 * However before choosing either option please check with your hosting provider
   if this “_prepend.php_” file is part of their standard install and if it is actually
   used for any purpose within your environment.
