Issue with API Key

Use the file manager provided by your hosting company (if using cPanel) or FTP to navigate to this directory [1], then grant write privileges so the plugin can store the settings in that “sucuri-settings.php” file.

Since version 1.7.18 the plugin stopped using the database to store its settings and now it is using a plain text file. If you grant write privileges to that directory the issue will be resolved.

[1] /home/mywebsite/wp-content/uploads/sucuri/

I have no link as you described in my wp-content/uploads directory, yorman, but I do have the sucuri-scanner file under plugins. Should I change that one?

@stampthis the directory “sucuri-scanner” is where the plugin’s code lives. The directory in the uploads folder is where its settings are stored, we use this location by default because usually the uploads directory must be writable in order to allow WordPress to upload files.

You don’t need to change anything if you are not experiencing any problem with the default configuration, otherwise I suggest you to create the “sucuri” directory inside uploads and grant write permissions so the plugin can store its settings and security logs there.

Thank you. I’ll try that @yorman. And yes, I AM having issues of it not taking the API key. As usual, Sucuri is the best!

Worked like a charm even though I was holding my breath! You’re the best! Thank you AND the Sucuri staff who were really on top of all my email requests.
