 * I keep getting the following error, can someone please explain how to fix this
   and get the plugin to be authenticated?
 * (cas:72) Google Analyticator was unable to authenticate you with Google using
   the Auth Token you pasted into the input box on the previous step.
 * This could mean either you pasted the token wrong, or the time/date on your server
   is wrong, or an SSL issue preventing Google from Authenticating.
 * Try Deauthorizing & Resetting Google Analyticator.
 * Tech Info 0:HTTP Error: (0) error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile:/
   etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt CApath: none

 * Hey hh, I was getting the same error but found if I ‘deauthorized and reset’ 
   and then continued without using WP dashboard, it would at least authenticate
   with Google Analytics.

 * I was having the same issue and the reason was I was entering the UA-########-
   1 code instead of the AUTH CODE.
 * To get your AUTH CODE, go to your Plugins and click on Google Analyticator / 
   Settings
 * Then near the top of the Google Analyticator settings page you will see the following
   notice… (click on the “Click Here” text link)
 * You need to sign in to Google and grant this plugin access to your Google Analytics
   account
 * Click Here – Or here if you have popups blocked
 * You will get a popup that says…
 * Google Analyticator for WordPress
    This app would like to: View your Google Analytics
   data
 * Next: click Accept
 * On the next screen, you will receive the following notice including your AUTH
   CODE:
 * Please copy this code, switch to your application and paste it there: (it will
   be a very long code)
 * This should solve the issue. 🙂
