# Authenticating Doesn’t Do Anything

 * I’ve used your plugin many times just fine.
 * However, this time I click **Authenticate with your Google Account**, I authorize
   it, and select the correct website from the list. I click **Complete Connection**
   and it redirects me back to the Monster Insights settings page on my site. On
   that page, nothing has changed or has been added like it should be. I still see
   the Authenticate with Your Google Account button. There is no code added to that
   area. I would really like this to work, it’s a great plugin, can someone please
   look into this? Thanks!

 * Maybe the same.

 * When i do that i pop-up from Google says:
    “401. That’s an error.
 * Error: deleted_client
 * The OAuth client was deleted.
 * Request Details
    That’s all we know.”
 * Thanks for any help

 * Hi there,
    The 500 error was resolved earlier, you should be all set now.
 * The deleted client one is from an extremely out of date version of MonsterInsights
   being installed. If you remove the copy you currently have installed, and install
   a fresh copy you should be all set to go on that.

 * Hi,
    I’m experiencing the same problem on [https://www.atletickids.it/wp-admin/admin.php?page=monsterinsights_tracking](https://www.atletickids.it/wp-admin/admin.php?page=monsterinsights_tracking).
   The website is currently in coming soon mode. I already tried to uninstall the
   plugin and install it back, but nothing changed.
 * Hope you can help.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi,
    I have the same problem.
 * I click Authenticate with your Google Account, I authorize it, and select the
   correct website from the list. I click Complete Connection and it redirects me
   back to the Monster Insights settings page on my site. On that page, nothing 
   has changed or has been added like it should be. I still see the Authenticate
   with Your Google Account button. There is no code added to that area.
 * Also, I cannot see the “Reports” option under “Insights” on the menu on the left
   side of the wordpress dashboard. Should this option be there?
 * Thanks!

 * It depends on the case what the fix is but for most it’s a manual action we have
   to take.

 * Hi,
    I followed all the steps that are described on the contact form but the 
   issue still exists.
 * I install the TLS 1.2 Compatibility Test and it seems there is no problem.
    Also,
   i install the Core Control plugin and after the Google authentication I see the
   following trace of http calls: – POST [https://api.monsterinsights.com/v2/auth/verify/lite/](https://api.monsterinsights.com/v2/auth/verify/lite/)(
   403 forbidden) – GET [https://api.monsterinsights.com/v2/test/](https://api.monsterinsights.com/v2/test/)(
   200 OK)
 * The problem is the 403 http status for the 1rst call.
 * I just submit an issue to lite Support.
