Any resolution on this? * [Josh C](https://wordpress.org/support/users/auth0josh/) * (@auth0josh) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auth0-error-message-with-wordpress/#post-10083144) * Sorry for leaving this hanging, [@nickmetaljacket](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickmetaljacket/), and thanks for the additional post [@tljwrdprss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tljwrdprss/)! * It sounds like the Client was not able to update after the upgrade. Look under the Client setup section here: * [https://auth0.com/docs/cms/wordpress/configuration#client-setup](https://auth0.com/docs/cms/wordpress/configuration#client-setup) * … around step 8, it’s possible that you don’t have Client Grant turned on. Once that’s in order, check to make sure the Client can access the management API: * [https://auth0.com/docs/cms/wordpress/configuration#authorize-the-client-for-the-management-api](https://auth0.com/docs/cms/wordpress/configuration#authorize-the-client-for-the-management-api) * Let me know if you’re still having issues! * [tljwrdprss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tljwrdprss/) * (@tljwrdprss) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auth0-error-message-with-wordpress/#post-10083160) * Hi Josh, I was playing around with the plugin after I posted and I changed the client signing algorithm to hs256 (which is what we were using before the upgrade). The instructions recommend rs256. I also turned to Auth0 Implicit Flow as this thread recommended and I was able to login to my app using the auth0 lock. * Do those changes and outcome make sense to you? * [Josh C](https://wordpress.org/support/users/auth0josh/) * (@auth0josh) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auth0-error-message-with-wordpress/#post-10083243) * [@tljwrdprss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tljwrdprss/) – Implicit flow should not be used except in the rare case where your server is blocked form calling out to Auth0. If these errors showed up after an upgrade and your server configuration has not changed then I would recommend turning that off (will be deprecated eventually). RS256 is recommended, yes, and needs to be set in the Client settings and in WordPress. Again, if that didn’t change on either end then that’s not the issue. * Did you walk through the Configuration doc I posted? That’s probably going to be where you find the fix, those errors are very specific about the Grant Type. - This reply was modified 8 years, 2 months ago by [Josh C](https://wordpress.org/support/users/auth0josh/).

This account does not have an email associated, as required by your site administrator.” * A nothing has changed since. * Is is possible I need to change or update the API token. That’s about the only config I haven’t changed. * [tljwrdprss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tljwrdprss/) * (@tljwrdprss) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auth0-error-message-with-wordpress/#post-10083519) * “A nothing has changed since” means no matter what we’ve tried we keep getting the same error. * [Josh C](https://wordpress.org/support/users/auth0josh/) * (@auth0josh) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auth0-error-message-with-wordpress/#post-10083547) * Are you seeing any relevant entries in the Auth0 error log in wp-admin? The ones from the OP are definitely related to that missing grant so I assumed you were seeing the same. * You can try saving a new API token but those expire so the plugin doesn’t rely on them for the login process. * [tljwrdprss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tljwrdprss/) * (@tljwrdprss) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auth0-error-message-with-wordpress/#post-10083600) * Hi, sorry, didn’t realize that would come out like that.

Older Clients did not have the Client Credentials grant turned on by default, though there is code in there to update Clients (3.5.1 patch) to rectify that. * [@tljwrdprss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tljwrdprss/) – Happy to help! That was set to a default value when the plugin updated so it might not have been the right value. I am curious, though, why that would be different.
