 * Hello [@kamerhuren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kamerhuren/),
 * Please, deactivate the CleanTalk plugin with the Complete Deactivation option:
   
   WordPress Admin Page —> Settings —> Security by CleanTalk —> General Settings—
   > enable “Complete Deactivation” —> Save Changes.Plugins —> Installed plugins—
   > Security by CleanTalk —> Deactivate and Activate
 * This option will reset all plugin settings. Don’t forget to insert your access
   key.
 * Did it help?
