Title: API key not validating Last modified: October 12, 2017 --- # API key not validating * Resolved [northfog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/northfog/) * (@northfog) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-not-validating-2/) * Hi, * The API key is not saving on the settings page. This error occurs only on IIS8.5 we have tested this on a similar setup(themes/plugins) on Linux and it worked. * I added the key in wp_options and then the plugin reported that the key did not validate. Please help. - This topic was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by [northfog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/northfog/).

I can certainly help take a look into this with you. * Getting started, could you provide the [WooCommerce System Status Report](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/understanding-the-woocommerce-system-status-report/) for the site exhibiting this behavior? This will help us to verify that the site meets the minimum requirements to run the plugin. * Thanks in advance for this. I’ll keep an eye out for your reply. * Malachite * Thread Starter [northfog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/northfog/) * (@northfog) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-not-validating-2/#post-9590183) * ### WordPress Environment ### * Home URL: [http://xxx.se](http://xxx.se) Site URL: [http://xxx.se](http://xxx.se) WC Version: 3.1.2 Log Directory Writable: ✔ WP Version: 4.8.2 WP Multisite: – WP Memory Limit: 512 MB WP Debug Mode: – WP Cron: ✔ Language: sv_SE * ### Server Environment ### * Server Info: Microsoft-IIS/8.5 PHP Version: 7.1.8 PHP Post Max Size: 200 MB PHP Time Limit: 300 PHP Max Input Vars: 1000 cURL Version: 7.54.1 OpenSSL/1.0.2k * SUHOSIN Installed: – MySQL Version: 5.7.13 Max Upload Size: 200 MB Default Timezone is UTC: ✔ fsockopen/cURL: ✔ SoapClient: ✔ DOMDocument: ✔ GZip: ✔ Multibyte String: ✔ Remote Post: ✔ Remote Get: ✔ * ### Database ### * WC Database Version: 3.1.2 WC Database Prefix: wp_ woocommerce_sessions: ✔ woocommerce_api_keys: ✔ woocommerce_attribute_taxonomies: ✔ woocommerce_downloadable_product_permissions: ✔ woocommerce_order_items: ✔ woocommerce_order_itemmeta: ✔ woocommerce_tax_rates: ✔ woocommerce_tax_rate_locations: ✔ woocommerce_shipping_zones: ✔ woocommerce_shipping_zone_locations: ✔ woocommerce_shipping_zone_methods: ✔ woocommerce_payment_tokens: ✔ woocommerce_payment_tokenmeta: ✔ MaxMind GeoIP Database: ✔ * ### Security ### * Secure connection (HTTPS): ❌Din butik använder inte HTTPS.

I can see that the site meets the minimum requirements to run WooCommerce and MailChimp for WooCommerce properly. * We have seen some instances of the API Key page timing out or even erroring out for some users during the setup process of the plugin. * Just to get some deeper insight when passing this along to our team, would you be able to check your site’s error logging to see if anything comes through when you encounter this error in MailChimp for WooCommerce? If your site does not have error logging, you can download a plugin that enables it [such as this one](https://wordpress.org/plugins/error-log-monitor/), though there are many different ones on the plugin directory worth browsing. * Thanks in advance for this extra bit of information. I’ll keep an eye out for your reply. * – Malachite * Thread Starter [northfog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/northfog/) * (@northfog) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-not-validating-2/#post-9593873) * Error logging is on but no errors are logged from this plugin. * /Peder * [mcsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcsupport/) * (@mcsupport) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-not-validating-2/#post-9594295) * Hey [@northfog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/northfog/) * Thanks for checking there anyways. I’ve gone ahead and passed this feedback along to our developers as we continue monitoring cases of the plugin failing after entering the API key. I can’t provide a firm ETA on when to expect a resolution, though our team is working to get things resolved as soon as possible. * Thanks, Malachite Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) The topic ‘API key not validating’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1509501) * [Mailchimp for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/reviews/) * 5 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [mcsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcsupport/) * Last activity: [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-key-not-validating-2/#post-9594295) * Status: resolved
