 * Hi ruig,
 * thats a tough one for me to answer… So either there is something wrong with the
   response the BBB Server gives or there is something wrong with your WP installation.
 * What you could try is to instalkl the API Demo ar greenlight on the BBB Server
   and see if this works. If there is also an error then there might be something
   wrong with your BBB Server. If not, i would check the WordPress installation 
   by disabling all other plugins and using a standard theme…
 * maybe that helps a little…

 * Thanks for the reply, I have the demo installed in BBB and it works all fine.
   Notice that this error is just in saving the secret settings, it is not even 
   when creating a room. My WP is with the standar theme. I do have another BBB 
   plugin installed but it’s deactivated.

 * I got the same problem, on all 5 of my sites. Super irritating (also disappointed
   this thread died out without any resolution or support, seems to be a very common
   problem)
