Did you often get the error “Are you sure want to do this”? If yes, you are at the right place to deal with this error now. It's all because of one word called Nonces. Yes! Its security-based unique keys used widely for protecting the URL’s of WordPress, ajax calls and forms. Themes or Plugin must use Nonces properly to avoid this type of error in WordPress. Whenever the admin plays the role in WordPress, the URL of WordPress will add the key for good performance. Nonces are the one which protects the website as well as URL. Hence, hacker or other malicious programs cannot deal with these Nonces if your website works along with this. You can assure that scripts are running only from the website nor the hackers rudely.
Sometimes, themes or plugins may end with the problem by not using Nonces correctly. Here, the problem is created by the themes or plugins we installed in WordPress.
Let us see the steps to fix this problem immediately:
Plugin’s check:
Step 1: Let us first do plugin deactivation and so, WordPress couldn’t fetch any scripts from plugins we installed already.
Step 2: Connect FTP with WordPress for deactivating the plugin. Now, go to the plugin folder and check for the folder “wp-content”. Just rename the plugin folder as a plugin.deactivated.
Step 3: That’s it! It helps to deactivate the plugin you installed in WordPress. Check the admin area, for ensuring the notification from plugins deactivation.
Step 4: Again, check now for the error “are you sure you want to do this”. If it doesn’t appear then it’s your plugin problem.
Step 5: Now, change the plugin folder from the plugin.deactivated to plugins. Activate the plugin one by one and find out which plugin gives you a problem.
Hence the role of the plugin ends here! If you still find the error, then let us go to fix the error with themes.
