[Guide] How to unlock unlimited premium Wordfence Security license on any version

[Niko Nemo]

What im doing wrong so i cant save it?!

Disable the plugin first, then try saving, and enable after that. It will work.

I have tried that but the problem is still here...

It looks like there is some sort of permission issue. If you have access to this server either by ssh or cpanel or any other way, you can directly edit/replace these files there.

Cheers!

1. Download the official Wordfence security plugin from: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/
2. Upload the plugin to your wordpress but don't activate it
3. Next, in your wordpress main dashboard head to Plugins -> Plugin Editor
4. In the "Select plugin to edit" bar choose Wordfence Security and press Select
5. Under the "lib file section" select the wordfenceClass.php file
6. Press ctrl+f and paste this:

if (!WFWAF_SUBDIRECTORY_INSTALL && $waf = wfWAF::getInstance()) {

You should see:

$updateCountries = false;
if (!WFWAF_SUBDIRECTORY_INSTALL && $waf = wfWAF::getInstance()) {
$homeurl = wfUtils::wpHomeURL();
$siteurl = wfUtils::wpSiteURL();


Now right under it paste this in:

wfConfig::set('isPaid', 1);
wfConfig::set('keyType', wfAPI::KEY_TYPE_PAID_CURRENT);
wfConfig::set('premiumNextRenew', time()+31536000);

So the code should look like this:

$updateCountries = false;
if (!WFWAF_SUBDIRECTORY_INSTALL && $waf = wfWAF::getInstance()) {
$homeurl = wfUtils::wpHomeURL();
$siteurl = wfUtils::wpSiteURL();

wfConfig::set('isPaid', 1);
wfConfig::set('keyType', wfAPI::KEY_TYPE_PAID_CURRENT);
wfConfig::set('premiumNextRenew', time()+31536000);

7. Save the file, then activate WordFence plugin, you should have unlimited premium license! It says "renew in 365 days" but you will notice that this number doesn't go down

If you can't find the code, you can export the file, edit using notepad++ and then reupload or do something similar. You can also use FTP application to do this method.

Like for more "exploits" like this!

Thank you. It worked

Hi, this is great, but what happens when the lugin needs updating would I have to keep adding this code?

Thanks

Yeah seems like you need to reapply the code unless someone can find a way to auto update it

 

[rikknet]

it works!!
thanks bro

BTW, if you got problems, use notepad++
Copy all "wordfenceClass.php" code in a blank notepad page
Use search->Find "updateCountries "
and there it is the code you have change.
Save it and check

7.4.7 confirmed working. Try editing again outside of WP, in cPanel or Notepad etc.
