 * Yes. Just gut Feedback from the audit, there are two really minor things which
   need to be fixed. Which i will do this weekend.
 * But these are really minor, so no reason for concern. As soon as they are fixed
   I will explain the bugs and as soon as the result is published by the auditor
   I will publish a link to that page.

 * This plugin broke my site. Wow it was confusing to figure out what was going 
   on. The menu wouldn’t work. I tried everything. I love your plugin, but for now
   it is deactivated. As soon as I see it is fixed I will re-activate.

 * [@isay81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isay81/) Hi, sorry to hear that.
 * Have you been a victim of the attack? If that is the case, this might be the 
   reason why the menu is not working anymore.
 * To fix that, you have to go to the settings and double check all the values and
   remove all of them which look suspicious.
 * Please have especially a close look at the json in the “Import/Export” Setting.
 * To see all the settings in the database you can use this query:
 * [SELECT](https://server2.firmazwei.com:8443/phpMyAdmin/url.php?url=https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/select.html)*
   FROM `options` where option_name [like](https://server2.firmazwei.com:8443/phpMyAdmin/url.php?url=https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/string-comparison-functions.html%23operator_like)“%
   nsc_bar%”
 * I would be happy to assist if you have a test system, where I can debug this 
   behaviour.

 * Hi [@isay81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isay81/) ,
 * it might be that the config string is corrupted. You can test it, by putting 
   the default configs in the admin area under “import/export”
 * Here you get the file:
 * [https://beautiful-cookie-banner.com/screens/config-default.json](https://beautiful-cookie-banner.com/screens/config-default.json)
 * If that is the case you have to configure the banner again.
 * Would be great if you can give an update if that fixes it for you.
