 * Hello [@suzzz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suzzz/)
 * Please be sure if the current version of the plugin 5.159.4 is installed. The
   download link is here:
    [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/cleantalk-spam-protect.5.159.4.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/cleantalk-spam-protect.5.159.4.zip)
 * Then press the button “Synchronize with cloud” in plugin settings.
 * WordPress Dashboard -> Settings -> Antispam by Cleantalk
 * Did it help?

 * HI, just so you know I tried to activate on another site before logging out of
   the first and got the invalid header line. Soon as I logged out of the first 
   site, I was able to activate the second no problem. I am looking forward to being
   spam free!
