 * V2 has been out for a while now!
    With regards to data gathering, as of V2 it
   uses WordPress.org own checksum API for any plugins that are on the wp.org repo.
   In this mode, it pulls the checksums rather then pushes. This reduces the need
   for us to store data yay! For any third party plugins, we pull the data if available
   from api.wpfingerprint.com in exactly the same way, it’s only if the result doesn’t
   match that we then store the data.
 * In terms of storage, the domain name is used as an identifier during that transaction
   and provides a cache key and very rudimentary rate limiting.
 * There is no way currently to request removal, nor do we intend to offer one anytime
   soon. Your domain name is not personal information, if you don’t want to use 
   wpfingerprint API and just rely on wp.org ones then you can unfilter the gateway.
   In theory you can also use your own or a third party one if you wanted.

   things were checked etc. Lot more reassurance.

 * Hi folks, the lack of visual indicator was intentional as we really didn’t want
   to disturb people unless there was a problem. However every piece of feedback
   has been please add some visual indicator!
 * So next version will have a way to see that its working.
 * To answer the second question yes, ultimately we will be putting it on Github
   as you spotted a repo has been created its waiting on a better way for us to 
   handle commits internally but will ultimately be the place we would hope issues
   go.

   see it?
    Or does this error?

 * If you have the sites correctly set in the db there is no need for the WP_HOME
   or WP_SITEURL and indeed might be complicating the issue. Also make sure you 
   have completely cleaned out your cookies, or try an incognito mode. Finally make
   sure you have done a full search and replace either by using something like wp-
   cli search-replace function or a plugin like velvet blues.

 * This sounds like you might need to update your htaccess file have you tried using
   the one recommended in the Multisite section?

 * The error is being generated by Angular rather then WordPress and appears to 
   be because its failing to retrieve the data. It could be you got the wrong URL
   or parameters that your trying to retrieve.

 * This certainly sounds like a bug or at least something that needs some usecase
   testing around so raising it on Trac is the place to go.

 * You can install WordPress into a subfolder say wp/ or blog/ and then ideally 
   with a separate db. This will work fine, though depending on your setup for Laravel
   you might need to modify your htaccess (apache) or Nginx configs to have the 
   WordPress configuration above the Laravel one, so they are run first. if in that
   folder.

 * The Your Site is not secure warning, is related to the fact you are not running
   an SSL certificate. A SSL certificate encrypts the traffic between the browser
   and the server your site is on.
 * So good news its nothing to do with Cookies (which are a way of storing information
   in a browser)
 * Browsers such as Firefox and Chrome are now starting to flag sites which have
   login forms or have forms collecting personal information as not secure.
 * To fix, you will need an SSL certificate and it setup on your host. This is normally
   something your host would do for you and a domain validated SSL certificate should
   be free with most hosting companies.
 * Once they have set it up you will need to move your site to use https:// while
   this is not complicated its probably something to research first as it will take
   a bit of fiddling to get right.

 * Have you set up the domain name in your hosts file or similar, or do you access
   it via the IP? Is the above error the actual error and if so is your site called
   mydemodomain.com if not then it would appear that is the domain your site now
   thinks it is. Might be worth checking your siteurl and homeurl.

 * What version of PHP are the users using, as wp-cli is namespaced older versions
   of PHP won’t work with it, though I would have expected other errors to manifest
   themselves well before then.
 * Also what’s in the $content variable, is it always numeric? though T_STRING is
   normally a syntax error, missing ; or similar.

 * Do you have some sort of object caching in place, for example memcache or Redis,
   in your wp-content/ folder there might be an object-cache.php file. If you do
   have such a file consider renaming it.
 * Failing that, what happens when you go to example.com without the www normally?
