 * I just bought your portfolio plugin and am running into a problem. When I try
   to make any changes under “General Settings” I get an error message that says…
   Security Check Fail.
 * Please help!

   the General Settings now.

 * He had replied to me directly and said:
 * The Security Check Fail is connected to WordPress nonce.
