 * I have two WordPress sites which I successfully added certs to with this plug-
   in. I am now trying to update the certs and neither HTTP nor DNS will work. I’m
   using the copy function on the plugin page to be sure I’m getting the values 
   correct. I’ve checked the values with nslookup and verified that they are updated
   and correct. When I click Scan DNS Record it just says to wait 5 min. and try
   again.
    I tried uninstalling and starting the process over and the result is 
   the same.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fverification-failure%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * After posting this I decided to go another direction. Since my platform is Linux
   I decided to install certbot to handle automatic updates of my certs. No plugin
   required any more.
    Thank you for the response.
