Q: Can I Run WP Security Ninja & Use WordFence for File Integrity & File Repairs or Would You Recommend Against That?
As WP Security Ninja doesn't have the automatic repair of compromised files in the free version of WordFence and I've found that feature very important (using it on many occassions over several sites over the years, could I run the free version of WordFence -- turning off its firewall, only using it to scan for comprised files and to do auto repair of files -- along with WP Security Ninja without conflicts or slowing down my WordPress site?

Apr 4, 2025A: Yes, you can run WP Security Ninja alongside WordFence, and they should work well together if you configure them properly. Since you're only using WordFence for file integrity scanning and auto-repair, and you've disabled its firewall, there shouldn't be any conflicts with WP Security Ninja.
Both plugins will provide different layers of protection and can complement each other without significant performance issues.
