 * Hi
 * I have installed this plugin and activated it, after migrating my multisite to
   a different server, I can`t get access to the network admin dashboard and area,
   It keeps asking me to login and then redirects me to the login again, as a result
   I can`t create any new sites.
 * Where must I look in the database to remove all the plugin entries?
    If I uninstall
   this plugin in the original site before migrating it, will it remove all the 
   changes it made from the site and from the database so that I can migrate the
   site successfully?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi. Ive just migrated a multisite to a new server, and had problems with an apparently
   run away php file using most of the CPU. This is unconfirmed, but it seemed to
   abate when I deactivated iThemes Security.
    I suspect iThemes security does some
   tailoring (to its activities and scan requirements) when it is installed, and
   this may be problematic when such a server move happens. When I attempted to 
   re network activate iThemes Security there was an immediate slowdown in the site
   admin area, so I disabled it again. But I really like this plugin, so (tomorrow)
   I am going to completely uninstall it, then reinstall from scratch. I believe
   that might be best practice with this sort of plugin when moving to a new server.
   I would appreciate any comment or feedback on this

    One thought. If you had the alternative backend login address option 
   active on your original site, iThemes Security may be still trying to use that
   option on the new site, and this could be your issue? I have no specific knowledge
   that this is so, just an intuition.
