 * Hello,
    since installing Easyforms for Mailchimp, the message “authorization 
   header is missing” is shown for recommended site improvements. I have deactivated
   and reactivated Easyforms to make sure that it’s really caused by this plugin(
   it is). I am running the latest version of Divi theme, and everything’s up-to-
   date. What do I need to do about the message? Thank you so much for your help.

   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@knuppi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knuppi/),
 * That is certainly strange, as that error message is related to your overall server
   setup, rather than a specific plugin. This is what I found to address the problem:
 * 1. Flush your permalinks
    2. Check your .htaccess file to make sure it includes
   the line `RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]`
 * You may just want to reach out to your host about step 2, as many hosts don’t
   provide easy access to that file.
 * Let me know if that helps,
    Jon

 * Hi Jon,
    thank you very much for your reply. I do have that exact line in my .
   htaccess file. And I flushed my permalinks, twice, but a few seconds after doing
   that, the message reappeared. Do you have any more ideas? Thanks for helping 
   me! Sonja

 * Hi Sonja,
 * Did you try submitting a ticket with your host?
    This issue is beyond support
   for our plugin and they would be in the position to help you.
 * Thank you!
