 * I had installed and activated Sitekit v1.1.1 on WordPress 5.3.
    Ads are being
   served on the site, which is great, and the AdSense console is showing me the
   ad performance.
 * I am seeing the following issues though:
 * The Site kit dash board message indicates:
 * > **The Site Kit plugin is active but requires setup.**
   >  Site Kit Service will
   > guide you through 3 simple setup steps.
 * Any attempt to sign in and walk through the sign in steps takes me right back
   to the dash board with the same message.

 * One further note, the site kit dashboard was actually almost entirely functional
   previously while awaiting activation. The other options in the Site Kit panel
   all disappeared.

 * [@hapkidoninja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hapkidoninja/) Sorry to hear
   of the problems you are encountering. Can you share the following:
    – What security
   plugins are you using – Is ModSecurity enabled at host level? – Who is your website
   hosted with?
 * You can also attempt setup again from a browser incognito window, with security
   or caching plugins temporarily deactivated. You will see some troubleshooting
   steps on the [plugins website](https://sitekit.withgoogle.com/documentation/fix-common-issues/).

 * [@hapkidoninja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hapkidoninja/) Thanks for
   the update. I don’t see anything that might conflict with Site Kit setup from
   the plugins you mentioned. I assume you’ve also tested setup from a browser incognito
   window, and that you are not using a Firewall or VPN which may impact setup.
 * Do you have any other sites on the same web host you can check Sit Kit setup 
   with, or alternatively can you setup a staging site which you can test.

 * [@hapkidoninja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hapkidoninja/) are you able
   to try the setup process with our most recent version 1.1.2 and let me know if
   the problem persists? We’ve made some improvements, so it would be great to know
   if this resolves it for you. Thank you!

 * Hi Renee,
 * I just tried it again on 1.1.2 and ran into the same behavior. Site kit still
   claims that setup is required for AdSense, still takes me into a setup window
   which loops me back to the same window. This was on an incognito browser…and 
   also separately on a regular browser session.

 * [@hapkidoninja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hapkidoninja/) truly appreciate
   the update. Just to confirm: it sounds like you were able to get pass the initial
   setup? For Adsense, we are aware of the issue and are actively working on some
   fixes (reference [here](https://github.com/google/site-kit-wp/issues/936) and
   [here](https://github.com/google/site-kit-wp/issues/891)). We’ll follow up when
   those are released. Thanks again

 * Sorry to jump in on someone else’s topic, yet I’m experiencing a similar issue
   after a fresh 1.1.3 installation. I start the verification process but them I’m
   logged out of WordPress after Site Kit asks me to select a Google account, and
   any further attempt to log into WordPress doesn’t work until I clear a very long
   url string with all kinds of token references and such and log back in using 
   site.com/wp-login.php
 * I tried to deactivate, delete and reinstall, and the problem still persists.
 * I wasn’t having this issue with 1.1.2… is there a way to download the previous
   version somewhere?
 * Thanks!

   It would be best if you open [a new support topic](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/google-site-kit/#new-post)
   as it appears to be slightly different. [Forum guidelines](https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#i-have-the-same-problem-can-i-just-reply-to-someone-elses-post-with-me-too)
   also suggest this. We’d certainly be happy to assist to pinpoint what could be
   occurring in your case.

 * Hi Renee,
 * Yes, I was able to get past the initial setup. Since AdSense is inserting ads
   into the pages and I am able to see ad activity, I believe I am experiencing 
   the second issue you provided a link to. Thanks.

 * I am getting the constant prompting for setup that will never complete as well.
   Looks like a pretty big issue?
