   install another theme ecc.
    How can i solve it?

 * I solved it.
    The problem was that the option parameter “aio_wp_security_configs”
   had some wrong values. I normally set the “aio_wp_security_configs” parameter
   at wp installation time, with wp cli ([http://wp-cli.org](http://wp-cli.org)):
 * wp option update aio_wp_security_configs “…”
 * Apparently there was some wrong value. I solved by reset the aio_wp_security_configs
   value with:
 * wp option delete aio_wp_security_configs
 * and then by reconfigure aiowps via web interface.
 * regards
