 * Hi,
   I was just trying to set up MalCare, but failing on the first step, connecting
   it.I get an error on testing the connection that it redirected to wp-load.php.
   I don’t see this mentioned anywhere in the knowledge base or here in the forum.
   Could you help me troubleshoot this?Thanks

 * Hey,
 * It looks like the issue might be due to an incorrect site URL being added to 
   your account. Please make sure you’ve entered the full URL with **HTTPS** (for
   example, `https://yourdomain.com`) and then try reconnecting the plugin.
 * If the issue persists, you can reach out to our support team with your site URL
   at: support[@]malcare[.]com
 * Thanks!

 * Hi
   Thanks for the swift reply. Thanks for checking and I’m one step further. 
   It’s now saying that it couldn’t verify the plugin as it thinks it’s deactivated
   or deleted. It’s certainly active.
