 * After installing the plugin, I get “The security check failed” on my main page,
   which is database. It tells me to try refreshing but that does nothing. I have
   another site I use this plugin on and it works just fine. Not sure what to look
   for and none of the other posts seem to help.

 * [@jdomke1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdomke1/) Can you please enable
   debugging mode, Please add following lines to wp-config.php just before where
   it says: /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
 * define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
    define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false ); define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’,
   true );
 * Then try to reload the page.
 * A debug.log file should be created inside wp-content folder,which should contain
   error information in it, Please share the file with us.
 * Thanks,
    Harshad
