 * Hello, [@brian90069](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brian90069/).
 * Please, re-install the CleanTalk Anti-Spam Plugin with the Complete Deactivation
   option:
    • WordPress Admin Page —> Settings —> Anti-Spam by CleanTalk —> Advanced
   settings —> set the option “Complete Deactivation” to “On” —> Save Changes; •
   WordPress Admin Page —> Plugins —> Installed plugins —> Anti-Spam by CleanTalk—
   > Deactivate and Delete.
 * Then install it anew:
    [https://cleantalk.org/help/install-wordpress](https://cleantalk.org/help/install-wordpress)
 * It will solve the issue. Did it help?
