# Invalid Security Token

 * One of my readers sent me a message that said:
 * I get the phrase “invalid security token.”
    However, they never ask me for any
   sort of verification. It just bumps me off. I believe I’ve tried to comment on
   three different posts, and the same message always pops up. It only happens on
   your blog. (Sorry.)
 * I am unsure how to rectify this issue. I don’t have an anti-spam filter activated.
 * Thanks,

 * And what is this reader trying to do at the time of the error?

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * no and yes. I had twenty eleven until a couple days ago and she said she was 
   having issues then, she just hasn’t told me until today.
 * I was having commenting issues with replies so I had them (wordpress) working
   on that and I deactivated all the plug ins and she was still having issues.
 * I am unfamiliar with the last one. I do have a plug in I have never activated
   that came with my wp. Akismet is sitting there deactivated. Should I delete it?

 * > o I had them (wordpress) working on that
 * Sorry? This isn’t a wordpress.com site, is it? wordpress.org does not offer any
   paid support services.
 * > o I had them (wordpress) working on that
 * No. Leave that one alone. You will need it at some point.
 * You are not running Twenty Eleven – you are running Weaver. You are also running
   some plugins – including Jetpack. Please see the link I posted above for details
   of how to reset your plugins folder.

 * okay thanks. I guess it was Jetpack that was working on it.
 * I am not on 2011 but was until a couple of days ago. She says she has been having
   issues for longer than that.
