.user.ini points auto_prepend_file to a missing file: HTTP 500 after a move
站主看到什麼
After the site was moved to another host, every page including the login page returned HTTP 500. The host error log showed "PHP Fatal error: Failed opening required '.../wordfence-waf.php'". A plain file (/license.txt) still returned 200.

缺口與修在哪一版
結局不是修好的跑次，都在這裡：改了什麼、修在哪一版、重跑的日期與結局。

對到的故障項目
補充
On this setup PHP-FPM re-reads .user.ini on a cache interval, so a change to that file takes effect after a delay rather than on the next request.
