 * Hi,
 * I cannot deactivate or delete the Headers Security Advanced & HSTS WP Plug-in
   on the WP Plug-in page. I am trying to do so because there may be a conflict 
   with the ShortPixel Plug-in.
 * Should I try to delete in cPanel or?
 * Thanks for your assistance,
 * Stephen

 * Hi [@auctionsavvy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/auctionsavvy/), after 
   your report I might recommend disabling it from your CPanel panel so you shouldn’t
   have any problems.
