### 󠀁[garbage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/garbage-160/)󠁿

If you have to write a plugin to undo the damage of your actual plugin, you’ve failed.
Then the patch plugin doesn’t even work. Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required‘/
nas/content/live/energysavings/wordfence-waf.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php74/
pear’) in Unknown on line 0 Fatal errors after uninstalling and even reinstalling
and running that pathetic patch you made. I always thought your product was suspect.
I can’t get rid of this effing error.

### 󠀁[Useful when managed hosts disallow and remove the WordFence plugin.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/useful-when-managed-hosts-disallow-and-remove-the-wordfence-plugin/)󠁿

Some managed hosts seem to disagree with the amount of resources that WordFences
use and will take it upon themselves to remove it for you. If you find yourself 
in this position and don’t want to dig through the tables manually to clean up your
database then this plugin comes in very handy!
