 * Hi,
 * Try following this document to reset Wordfence and table data. It is suggested
   when there are issues with a free API key.

 * Thanks! That worked!
 * By the way, the exact wording on the Options page is:
 * “Delete Wordfence tables and data on deactivation?”
 * I had to hunt for it since the documentation says:
 * Scroll all the way to the bottom where you’ll find a checkbox to **remove all
   Wordfence data if the plugin is disabled**
 * I was looking for that text.
 * But, again, thanks for your help.
