Hello. I’m trying to install Wordfence security, after activating the plugin it immediately blocks admin-ajax.php, because of this I can not complete the installation.
I enter my email, agree to the terms of use, select YES to receive notifications, click continue and nothing happens.
Console error VM2691:1 POST https://mysite.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 403 (Forbidden). I understand that this can be fixed by adding Wordfence security admin-ajax.php to the exception, but I don’t have access to the Wordfence security settings because I can’t complete the installation.
1. Disable all available plugins. – Did not help.
2. Complete removal of Wordfence security manually. – Did not help.
3. Complete removal using the Wordfence Assistant. – Did not help.
4. Change WordPress theme. – Did not help.
5. Cleaning the cache. – Did not help.

When Wordfence security is active, admin-ajax.php does not work in other plugins. When Wordfence security is not active, admin-ajax.php runs correctly in other plugins.
