    Hi @wpmudev-support6,

    Were you using any settings that were overlapping each other? Cause that’s the only way to come up with a conflict.

    Not that I would know of. I will continue to try to find out what exactly is causing the conflict. If I do, I’ll happily share my findings here.

    As far as this support request is concerned, I guess this can be marked as resolved.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi @wpmudev-support8 again.

    Turns out my problem is an incompatibility of Defender and WordFence. I know, “why install 2 solutions for the same problem?”. I kind of like parts of both for various reasons. I tried to completely uninstall Wordfence and Defender and just setup Defender – works like a charm so far. I am kind of bummed that I am forced to decide between two good systems though. Anyways, thanks for your help!

    Hi @wpmudev-support8,

    Thanks for your reply and apologies for the long silence here. I was trying to figure out which setting exactly is causing the problems.

    When I reset Defender from the settings, some options remain listed as resolved:

    Some make sense:
    – Update PHP to latest version
    – Update WordPress to latest version

    But some I expected to be unresolved:
    – Hide error reporting
    – Prevent PHP execution
    – Update old security keys

    I’m guessing it’s “Prevent PHP execution”. Since this is not reverted by default, I dug around. My guess: is it the .htaccess in wp-content?

    
    ## WP Defender - Protect PHP Executed ##
    <Files *.php>
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    </Files>
    ## WP Defender - End ##
    

    If I simply delete the lines, the problem remains. So my question is: does “Prevent PHP execution” do more than setting .htaccess in wp-content?

    I’d be interested in that one as well. Or is it rather an extension of the question?

    I want to display several menu items depending on the logged in user.
    Eg. user1 gets an additional menu item user1, user2 gets an additional menu item user2, not logged in user gets none of the above.

    Possible?
