 * It’s probably a false positive matching the term, `localhost`. To resolve, you
   can use the simple [BBQ whitelist plugin](https://perishablepress.com/bbq-whitelist-blacklist/).
   There you can find free download plus the steps to whitelist any string (in this
   case, `localhost`). Let me know if any questions, glad to help.

 * Hey Gulshan, I hope you got this sorted. Haven’t heard back in awhile, so gonna
   go ahead and mark this ticket as “resolved” to help keep things organized. Feel
   free to post again with any further questions or feedback. Thank you.
