    I have WordFence installed on a few sites, with free license. No issues, installation was smooth, 2FA set up, no problems at all. I’m trying to install the plugin on a new site, and I’m running into some issues.

    1. ‘An error occurred while installing your license key’ – I have reissued license multiple times, tried both copy/paste as well as clicking the email link, I even made a WordFence account so see if I could link it through the ‘Central’. Nothing works
    2. ‘An unexpected error occurred while attempting to configure Wordfence to delete its data on deactivation.’ I tried to deactivate and delete the plugin, to see if reinstalling fixes it. But It won’t let me. I ended up just deleting the folder from the wp-content plugin folder, which worked. However, after reinstalling, the problem is still there.

    The extent of the FAQ pretty much just says ‘double check the license, and issue a new one’, which I have done. I’m a bit at a loss as to what the issue is, fresh install of WordPress and WordFence.

    Turns out it was an SSL issue. I added

    $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = true; 

    To the top of wp-config.php, which resolved the issue
