 * Hi [@sessionstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sessionstudio/),
 * Wordfence was recently updated, and it seems like the auto-update may have deleted
   some files.
 * Can you try deactivating, uninstalling, and installing Wordfence again? This 
   should restore the `/wordfence.php` file.
 * Dave

 * My host had deactivated my wordfence due to error, so I uploaded and overwrote
   with a backup. Then deactivated and deleted, reinstalled, entered premium key,
   tried to update rules, no luck. I got error about not being able to connect with
   wordfence servers.
    My host is dreamhost. these update errors have been going
   on about a week to two.
 * 1. I’ve completely deleted and reinstalled wordfence via wordpress “add new plugin”,
   reactivated premium key.
    2. I’ve deleted the rules file in my wp-content/wflogs/
   rule.php, I let wordfence repropagate file, tried to manually update rules, got
   error about not connecting to servers. 3 I’m updated to latest Version 7.2.4
