Please try again.ā€ * this happens when your security key has expired. WordPress uses security keys called nonce to ensure the page being submitted (saving our form) is the same origin as the from which the request was made. If this is the case simply reload the page. * This can happen either because you logged out of your site (on another page) and logged in again before returning to complete your form editing, or because there is an error in the [installation of the salt keys](https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/what-are-wordpress-salt-keys-and-how-can-you-change-them).

Aurovrata * no worries šŸ™‚ * > On the same page you sent as a link, thereā€™s this plugin that I tought would > do the same thing. Thatā€™s why I installed it. * ah, I see. Donā€™t use the plugin, follow the instructions in the first half of the article. Plugins are good when they serve a function which does not exist in the std WordPress installation, else they are a burden on the website. * Is you website on a public server? * Plugin Author [Aurovrata Venet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurovrata/) * (@aurovrata) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-error-105/#post-14084754) * Another reason why you might get this error is related to the memory allocation for your website. Please see this [tutorial](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-link-you-followed-has-expired-error-in-wordpress/) in ensuring you have enough resources allocated for your website. * Thread Starter [ptweet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ptweet/) * (@ptweet) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-error-105/#post-14089682) * Good mnorning, Aurovrata šŸ™‚ Already fixes the keys, but still get the same message. * Plugin Author [Aurovrata Venet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurovrata/) * (@aurovrata) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-error-105/#post-14090340) * > but still get the same message. * did you see my last post on ensuring your setup has enough resources? * Thread Starter [ptweet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ptweet/) * (@ptweet) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-error-105/#post-14090484) * Yes.

I am making an effort to help you, the least you can do is follow the instructions and make an effort to clearly report what you have done.
