 * Under Filesystem Security, it said it recommended that i change file permission
   for WP-Content to 755. So I click on the recommended action and had it changed.
   However, when I go to write a new post and click on “Add Media”, the pictures
   that are there, they are white out so I can’t click them and insert them into
   my post. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it so i can add pictures
   to a post?

 * Hi, changing file permissions for wp-content should not affect your images. That
   is a different issue.
 * Disable this plugin and carry out a test. If the above is true then some other
   setting in the plugin has caused the above issue. If disabling this plugin does
   not correct your issue then you know that something else is causing your issue.
 * Let me know what you find.
 * Thank you

 * When I disable the plugin, I can access all the pictures. As soon as I enable
   the plugin, then it goes back to where I can not access the pictures

 * Hi, did you enable the following feature
    **Enable 5G Firewall Protection:** 
   located in **WP Security -> Firewall -> 5G Blacklist Firewall Rules**?
 * If you did can you disable this feature and carry out a test.
 * Thank you
