Title: API key invalid Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # API key invalid * [reb_wilson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reb_wilson/) * (@reb_wilson) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/) * I just can’t get this plugin to work! I’ve created two apps, tried both API keys, updated to the latest version of wordpress, cleared the .tmp file. It always tells me my API key is invalid. Please help! * [http://www.rebeccawilsonceramics.com](http://www.rebeccawilsonceramics.com) * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/etsy-shop/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/etsy-shop/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [fsheedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fsheedy/) * (@fsheedy) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/#post-4284851) * It works on your site now! All good for you? * Thread Starter [reb_wilson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reb_wilson/) * (@reb_wilson) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/#post-4284879) * No, it’s still telling me my API key is invalid. What I have on there just now is ‘Etsy mini’ which comes from Etsy themselves. What I want to do is seperate my shop categories out into the different sections of my website. * Plugin Author [fsheedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fsheedy/) * (@fsheedy) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/#post-4284880) * Screenshot? * Thread Starter [reb_wilson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reb_wilson/) * (@reb_wilson) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/#post-4284883) * I can’t see how to add an image here (working on my phone right now).

I still haven’t managed to resolve this problem and am keen to get the plugin up and working to take advantage of pre christmas sales. * Thread Starter [reb_wilson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reb_wilson/) * (@reb_wilson) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/#post-4284981) * I contacted Etsy to see if the problem was at their end and got this as a response: * “I’ve tested your keys and they appear to be ok. This error is most likely because your wordpress plugin is not connecting to the Etsy API using SSL. Please contact the plugin developer and ask them how to upgrade to use HTTPS instead of HTTP.” * Does that help you to help me? * Plugin Author [fsheedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fsheedy/) * (@fsheedy) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/#post-4284982) * Hi reb_wilson, * Yes, this plugin use HTTPS since version 0.9.5. Please, make sure that you are using the lastest version. * I did not received your screenshot, please try to post on [http://postimage.org/](http://postimage.org/) and post here the URL. * Thread Starter [reb_wilson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reb_wilson/) * (@reb_wilson) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/#post-4284985) * [url=http://postimg.org/image/npeikunfx/][img]http://s14.postimg.org/npeikunfx/ photo.png[/img][/url] * [url=http://postimg.org/image/5b3zgvb59/][img]http://s14.postimg.org/5b3zgvb59/ photo_1.png[/img][/url] * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/#post-4284986) * [@reb_wilson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reb_wilson/)? `img` and `url` short codes do not in anyway work in these forums. 😉 * Don’t repost that as I am sure fsheedy will be able to figure it out… * Plugin Author [fsheedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fsheedy/) * (@fsheedy) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/#post-4285005) * Hi reb_wilson, * It works on my server… Please contact me in private to be able to provide more help: [wzhxtq6qhyp8kbv@jetable.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/wzhxtq6qhyp8kbv@jetable.org?output_format=md) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘API key invalid’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/etsy-shop/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1089359) * [Etsy Shop](https://wordpress.org/plugins/etsy-shop/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/etsy-shop/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/etsy-shop/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/etsy-shop/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/etsy-shop/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/etsy-shop/reviews/) ## Tags * [api key invalid](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/api-key-invalid/) * 11 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [fsheedy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fsheedy/) * Last activity: [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-invalid-1/#post-4285005) * Status: not resolved
