Hello, I run WP (Current version) with Enfold theme hosted on Go Daddy and use Wordfence plugin. It worked fine until the last couple wordfense updates. Now I have no “live traffic” for humans only bots show up. Also most wordfence links do not work now.
Wordfence works properly if I change to 2015 theme. Below is what wordfense had to say about it. Please help.“Usually issues with the links at the bottom of the options page are caused by the site’s theme. If the theme handles requests before the normal time, it “takes over” any links that have a query string like “yoursite.com/?somequery=value”
The live traffic is also probably affected by the theme. We did have a change a few versions ago, to work with some new changes Google had implemented in crawling, and it also uses query strings for this tracking. Some themes also ignore the built-in “wp_head”, which can cause only the live traffic issue, but this is less common.
Usually theme authors can fix this if you ask about it. If you need to confirm that this is the issue before contacting the theme’s author, you can try temporarily switching to a theme like “twentyfifteen”, which handles these in the normal way. (Past visits on Live Traffic won’t be affected, but if you can visit the site in a different browser where you are not logged in, you should see those visits logged as humans if it is working.) ”
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

you are using an old version of the theme. Please upgrade to Enfold v3.4.5 and let us know if things get better for you or not.
Best regards,
