Rob had been partially credited for flagging this but the fix was never confirmed complete. Audited and fully resolved this session. + +**Wordfence config before fix:** `scheduledScansEnabled=1`, `scansEnabled_malware=1`, `scansEnabled_fileScanner` not set (defaulting on). Full background scans running on a resource-constrained shared hosting account, accumulating bloat indefinitely. + +**Actions taken:** +1. Disabled all Wordfence scanning in `arizonahatters_maindb.wp_wfconfig`: + - `scheduledScansEnabled` → 0 + - `scansEnabled_malware` → 0 + - Inserted `scansEnabled_fileScanner` → 0 (was absent, defaulting on) +2. Truncated large scan-data tables: + - `wp_wffilemods`: 11.52MB → 0.02MB + - `wp_wfknownfilelist`: 5.52MB → 0.02MB +3. Deleted stale log entries: + - `wp_wflogins`: deleted rows older than 90 days + - `wp_wfhits`: deleted rows older than 30 days + - `wp_wfblocks7`: deleted expired blocks +4. Ran `OPTIMIZE TABLE` on all five Wordfence tables +5. Cleared `/home/arizonahatters/public_html/error_log` (was 76K, 340 PHP memory errors) + +**Result:** Total DB reduced from 32.24MB → 13.45MB. Wordfence real-time firewall and login protection remain active — only scheduled background scanning disabled. + +**peacefulspirit confirmed fixed:** Rob's cleanup_wordfence.sh (Jan 13) had truncated WPML mails and Gravity Forms tables. Verified: wp_wpml_mails 156MB → 1.6MB, total DB ~310MB → ~100MB.
