Wordfence Setup Tutorial & Firewall Settings (Free version)

Thank you for this helpful video!! I have a question concerning the 2FA QR Code. I would like to set up the 2FA for me, but also for all the other users of the website. How can I do that? Simple enable the 2FA for all user roles and send the same QR code to them? Or will everyone need another QR Code? The wordfence backend isn't clear enough at this point, or I don't understand it right :-D. Many Greetings, Jennifer

Excellent video, thank you. I was told I needed to download user.ini but that button didn't show up. The download HTACCESS button worked.

thanks so much for your tutorial video. It really helps me a lot

Hello I added the firewall automatically instead of manual for siteground, what do i do?

Another fantastic tutorial, thanks!

Hi there do you know what i can do if i have set the 2FA and at one point the code it's no longer functional? and I'm stuck of the site and I'm not wrong to write the code...suggestions? thanks silvia

Can I use word fence with Shopify? Please let me know asap. I’ve tried to google but can’t find any helpful answers 🥺🙏

Is free version of jetpack enough for blog? I tried to set up wordfence but it is quite overwhelming..blog takes no input data from user.. so it must be quite secure by itself don't you think?

Thank you for your very calming approach to a potentially stressful topic. Much appreciated!

Thanks!

very useful advice :) thank you :D

Your channel is seriously under rated! keep on the great work :)

How to delete site catch with wordfence? Or can you please recommend any other free plugin

Great video. I'm using siteground and already installed WordFence without using the manual setting for the firewall. It says 'extended protection', does that mean it has worked or will I need to uninstall the application and redo it manually through siteground? Thank you!

Hi great advice but after install I cannot seem to see my wordfence dashboard...any tips welcome.

I have the Wordfence Security (FREE Version) and I now have "The last rules update for the Wordfence Web Application Firewall was unsuccessful. The last successful update check was July 8, 2020 11:59 AM, so this site may be missing new rules added since then. You may wait for the next automatic attempt or try to Manually Update by clicking the "Manually Refresh Rules" button below the Rules list." error and I wonder what the fix could be. Thanks.

Thanks. Question...I went through the basic set up (just like your video) and although I see the "Installation Successful" box I don't see the "Nice work!" message. Instead, it says "The changes have not yet taken effect. If you are using LiteSpeed or IIS as your web server or CGI/FastCGI interface, you may need to wait a few minutes for the changes to take effect since the configuration files are sometimes cached. You also may need to select a different server configuration in order to complete this step, but wait for a few minutes before trying. You can try refreshing this page." What does that mean? Did something not work correctly?

Thank you

Really good tutorial. Thank you.

Hi. Thanks for the video. I am shopping around for a security plugin for my sites. I currently have WordFence set up but have not configured it. It sounds like Wordfence is the best option. This was also recommended by my host. Security is not my forte. Are you by chance available to configure my Wordfence plugin?

thanks alot.. but can we extend the plugin to the custom mvc framework ??

Very thorough and helpful. Thank you so much.

Very helpful and trustworthy vid. Thank you!

Hello Alex, I followed your instructions and I'm getting a "server state alert". And in results
1 path was skipped for the malware scan due to scan settings
Type: Skipped Paths
. I have no idea what to do with that as I am quite a neophyte ! Can you help?

Life saver..thanks.

Hi, could you explain why wordfence creating issues like The current scan looks like it has failed. Its last status update was more than 2 hours 59 mins ago. You may continue to wait in case it resumes or stop and restart the scan. Some sites may need adjustments to run scans reliably. Click here for steps you can try.

Thank you very much for explaining clearly.
