Hi,
Although Wordfence web application firewall (WAF) can protect your subdirectories websites as well, it’s recommended to install Wordfence on these subdirectories websites to get the benefit of other features (like Login Security, Rate Limiting etc…).
P.S. It’s recommended to configure the firewall on websites installed in subdirectories first then configure it on the main website at your server root directory.
Thanks.
Thanks for your reply. It makes perfect sense, ESPECIALLY the
“configure the firewall on websites installed in subdirectories first then configure it on the main website at your server root directory.”
Had I known to do that before, I would have saved much time, head scratching and several choice profanities
You are welcome, I’m glad it helped!
I just want to make sure you know “How to remove the firewall configuration manually“, so you can easily do that on the main website then re-configure it again.
Thanks.
Again, thank you for the excellent tutorage!
I now know the path Wordfence>>Firewall>>Firewall status>>Disabled/Enabled and Protecting.
Your title states “Plugin Author.” Are you one of the creators of Wordfence?
If so, BIG THANKS!! I look forward to the days when site incomes will fund the Wordfence premium accounts.
