PHP Fatal error:  Failed opening required … wordfence-waf.php

[ad_1]

This is on a staging site on Bluehost. (The previous post on this topic is not relevant to this.)

I’m trying to migrate my site to another host and getting this fatal error:

PHP Fatal error:  Failed opening required ‘/home/j6vpqk8n10fz/public_html/wordfence-waf.php’ (include_path=’.:/opt/cpanel/ea-php82/root/usr/share/pear’) in Unknown on line 0

I have FTP access but no WordPress access yet. To facilitate the migration, I have 1) deleted the Wordfence plugin, 2) renamed “wordfence-waf.php” (to wordfence-waf-OLD.php, 3) renamed the wflogs folder to wflogs-DISABLED. 4) renamed the plugins folder to plugins-OLD (attempt to get rid of a 500 err.) — but still getting this “fatal error” in my error.log.

Where else could this “required” is coming from? How do I delete or comment it out?

Thanx much – Glenn
