   that would fix. If I manually “Sync to cloud” it gets fixed. How do I force this
   on 80 sites please?

 * Hi [@applsys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/applsys/),
 * Thank you for reporting to us.
 * This message shows that SpamFireWall doesn’t work at the moment, but the basic
   spam protection works as usual, so you mustn’t get any spam issues in spite of
   this message.
 * The plugin automatically syncs during every 24 hours. So, you can leave it as
   is on all your sites. On the next day the error message should gone.
 * Anyway, I will forward your report to developers, we have to find the reason 
   of this.
 * Let me know if you have any questions or the issue will still persist tomorrow.

 * Hi thanks for the reply. I have found that a site with this error gives false
   positives on form submissions. Once I forced an upgrade and then a cloud sync
   it worked. I need a way to force the sync at the moment?

 * This issue shouldn’t be connected to the SpamFireWall error. Anyway, please contact
   us via our support system for further investigations:

 * The plugin always syncs with cloud during every 24 hours. So, the error should
   gone soon. But you can manually sync the plugin by pressing “Synchronize with
   cloud button” as well.

 * Hello,
 * There is a strange behavior of adding source column to sfw table which is already
   has been added.
 * Try to go to the plugin settings -> advanced settings -> Enable “Complete deactivation”.
   After that, deactivate and activate plugin again and paste your access key.
 * This should fix issue.
