 * I’ve installed a new WordPress on my normal server. As normal, my first port 
   of call is to install some security. I go through the steps and it reaches Notifications
   step, but the notifications screen is blank and I can’t proceed further. I did
   notice along the way that in the Global Settings step there was “Error detecting
   IP: You are probably offline.” (I’m not offline). Any ideas?

 * Ok, for anyone else that experiences similar, what worked for me was switching
   Cloudflare SSL from flexible to full.
