 * Installed and activated. The Dashboard and the Settings are blank blocks. Deactivated,
   deleted, and reinstalled again. Same thing.

 * Hi [@hhorowitz13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hhorowitz13/),
 * The REST API of your website is inaccessible, and the plugin needs it to load
   the Dashboard and Settings pages.
 * Please navigate to **Settings -> Permalinks** in your WordPress Dashboard, set
   it to the setting **Post name** and then save the changes.
 * Refresh the Really Simple Security dashboard a few times (may take a few refreshes),
   and it should load correctly afterwards.
 * Kind regards, Jarno
