CONCLUSION


The error states that the site key entered into the plugin isn’t valid for the domain it is linked to. The issue I and others have faced is that when we see the onset of an error, we are prone to panic, and when I discovered that I was unable to log into my website’s Dashboard, my anxiety reached its peak.

Once you have identified the root cause of the error, then search for the solution, and hopefully, all errors will be resolved without much effort and in a short time.
