# Issues with Solid Security (formerly iThemes Security Pro)

 * Hi,
 * When using certain options within Solid Security, it adds two comments into the`
   wp-config.php` file. These comments typically look like the following:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       // BEGIN iThemes Security - Do not modify or remove this line// iThemes Security Config Details: 2........// END iThemes Security - Do not modify or remove this line
       ```
   
 * When activating WP Super Cache, it always ends up adding the `WP_CACHE` and `
   WPCACHEHOME` defines in between the above iThemes comments. The problem with 
   this is that Solid Security will sometimes regenerate that code within the `wp-
   config.php` file, which ends up removing the defines added by WP Super Cache,
   causing the caching to stop working. I’ve seen this happen on multiple sites.
 * When adding your defines, can you please check to make sure that they’re not 
   being added in between (start and end) comments (i.e. other settings) from other
   plugins.
 * Thanks,
   Anthony

 * This is unfortunately a long-standing issue. There is a bug report [here](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/25461)
   about it. I don’t know when it will be fixed, sorry.

 * Ahh thanks for that. Looks like that issue was raised almost 4 years ago. I guess
   I shouldn’t hold my breath for a fix. I appreciate the quick reply. Thanks 🙂
