 * Hi, I started getting an error in wordpress dashboard when deleting plugins. 
   I found out that deactivating Shield Security plugin fixes the issue. I tried
   re-installing it, but the same error shows up after re-activating. I would not
   like to loos my current configuration. Is there any how I could re-install it
   from scratch and reimport my current settings?
 * Thanks!

 * Brilliant, thanks for sharing that. I found the issue. The plugin is actually
   being deleted, but there’s a bit of random text output by Shield which interferes
   with the AJAX response parsing and so it looks like it failed.
 * We’ll fix that for the next release – thanks for reporting it and sorry for the
   trouble.
