It seems that AUTH_KEY and SECURE_AUTH_KEY are not set in your instance. Is this true?

I can’t help when it seems like your instance is not picking it up. * Sorry, but this is a PHP issue. We just use the standardly defined WordPress variables. * Best of luck! * Thread Starter [xilenced123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xilenced123/) * (@xilenced123) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-error-messages-2/#post-11850119) * I think i might have fixed it. Don’t know why but in the code in /is/htdocs/wp13236019_SE7V0EH8FL/ www/wp13236019_wpr478l/wp-c9a2f-content/plugins/redux-framework/ReduxCore/inc/ class.redux_instances.php Auth_key and secure_auth_key where not like this: ‘[…]’. So since the error said that ‘Auth_Key’ is assumed and not Auth_key without the‘ I tried that and the error is gone now how it seems. I think you can tell me more if that is correct now but at least it seems to work for now. * Plugin Contributor [Dōvy Paukstys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dovyp/) * (@dovyp) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-error-messages-2/#post-11850159) * That’s because a `define` variable does not use quotes: * [https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.define.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.define.php) * So if you put quotes around them, the value you provided was only the strings‘ AUTH_KEY’. * I will try it on PHP 7.3 on my side, but I don’t see any way this could cause an issue. 🙁 * Thread Starter [xilenced123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xilenced123/) * (@xilenced123) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-error-messages-2/#post-11850235) * Yes i was remembering something like that from school back then but I thought I’ll give it a try and at least the site runs like normal right now. Maybe you can report when you found the “real” issue here so i can really fix it. * Plugin Contributor [Dōvy Paukstys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dovyp/) * (@dovyp) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-error-messages-2/#post-11850764) * So I tried this locally without any issues. Check that your host isn’t blocking PHP constants. It may be a PHP.ini config setting. * [felizn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/felizn/) * (@felizn) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-error-messages-2/#post-12398678) * Getting about 20 or so warnings within wp dashboard when redux plugin is activated.

Please don’t piggyback off other’s issues. * The error you are facing can be very frustrating and annoying. I fear, however, this is not the cause of Redux but rather code that is using Redux. I’ll give a great example: `cg_primary_color` appears nowhere in our code. * Redux is a tool which developers use to build products. There are hooks you can fire when changes are made to the options. * Best of luck to you and I wish you a good day. I’d look for a theme or plugin where the company name has the initials of `cg` like the variables above. * [felizn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/felizn/) * (@felizn) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-error-messages-2/#post-12399732) * Please relax on the piggybacking stuff, I found my way here via google searching about my warnings. I’ve had a very difficult time trying to get unpaid assistance. I don’t visit this platform much so I don’t know where to go to start a fresh new thread ok.thank you for your answer I decided to pay someone to fix the problem.
