    Hello,

    Please let me start by saying I am not very technical. However, I have managed to create a website and installed and set up the Hide My WP Plugin using one of the standard recommended settings. Although everything seems to work fine with the website, I have the following error “Hide My WP Security Check: Your site is at risk. WP installed wrongly: one or more of security keys are invalid.”

    I am unsure how the WP could be installed incorrectly? I followed all of the WP instructions and everything seemed to be absolutely correct, working flawlessly.

    I don’t know enough about the technical/coding aspects to determine what it is that the plug-in does not like and hope that you can take a look and find out why this is happening.

    Thank You.
    Paul

    Hi, in HMWP there is a security check to make sure that wordpress secret keys (in wp-config.php) are valid and secure. More info regarding security keys here – https://www.wpwhitesecurity.com/wordpress-tutorial/wordpress-security-keys/

    And security keys can be generated from here – https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/
