 * Somehow my ithemes security plugin got corrupted. While rest of site is fine,
   when I navigate to the ithemes security page, it is malformed, missing all decorations
   and just given plain text like this:

 * I tried to delete the plugin and reinstall, but after reinstall it has the same
   issue. How can I repair my installation?
