cPFence makes it easy to identify and clean infected WordPress sites on your server. Follow the steps below to quickly pinpoint and address issues:

Step 1: Configure Your Email Settings

Add Your Email Address:
Use the following command to set your email address for receiving notifications:
```
cpfence --set-email [email protected]
```
If you don’t receive the test email (due to issues like IP blacklisting), switch to SMTP:
```
cpfence --enable-cpfence-smtp
```

Step 2: Run WordPress Integrity Checks

Set Integrity Check Frequency:
Change the frequency of WordPress integrity checks to run hourly:
```
cpfence --set-check-frequency hourly
```
Trigger a Manual Integrity Check:
Run the integrity check immediately to identify infected WordPress sites:
```
/opt/cpfence/app/cpfagent
```
You will receive an email listing the infected sites.

Run a Full Scan:
Perform a comprehensive scan of the entire server (this may take several hours):
```
cpfence --full-scan
```
Export a Vulnerability Scan Report:
Generate a detailed vulnerability report in CSV format for further analysis:
```
cpfence --vuln-export
```

Once you identify the infected sites, refer to this guide for cleaning them: How to Clean an Infected WordPress Site.

Additionally, whitelist any false positives in both the antivirus and WordPress integrity checker.

For continuous protection, consider enabling auto-cleaning options after verifying and cleaning your sites.
