    Hello Henry Duc Manh,

    I apologize for the delay in getting back to you on this issue.

    After taking a closer look at your site and setup, I saw you had a couple directives in your wp-config.php that had special, non-readable characters in them. This usually happens when you try copying and pasting from a rich text editor.

    After resolving those issues and doing some minor tweaks to your wp-config.php and .user.ini Membership 2 Pro is now installed and you can access your WP Admin pages without issue.

    Please let us know if you have any further issues. We’ll be happy to help! :slight_smile:

    Best regards,

    James Morris
