 * I am getting an “Access Denied” error when activating WP Cerber in my wordpress
   instance.
 * Any idea why this would be happening?

 * Hi!
 * I don’t understand what that means. There is no “Access Denied” message in the
   plugin. How did you get it? Please make a screenshot of that message and submit
   it here: [http://wpcerber.com/support/](http://wpcerber.com/support/)

 * That must mean that it is a WordPress message caused by a conflict of some sort.
   I will investigate further and contact you if I cannot resolve the matter on 
   my own.
 * Thanks so much…

 * Yes, it is working now. It was a wordpress problem that was producing the error.
   I do not recall exactly what I did to resolve it, but all is well now.
 * Thanks for the great follow up and thanks for the great plugin.

 * Hi Gioni… I went and left a review because you have a great plugin with great
   functionality.
 * Here is a suggestion for you… you might consider adding this functionality into
   WP Cerber: [https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-author-pages/](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-author-pages/)
