Correct that and I think it should work. - This reply was modified 8 years, 9 months ago by [cmeeren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cmeeren/). * Plugin Author [cmeeren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cmeeren/) * (@cmeeren) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-retrieving-data/#post-9462824) * [@imagineds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imagineds/) seems to be working fine now. * Thread Starter [kannmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kannmcc/) * (@kannmcc) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-retrieving-data/#post-9462959) * I fixed that and it still says error retrieving data. * Plugin Author [cmeeren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cmeeren/) * (@cmeeren) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-retrieving-data/#post-9462975) * You also have an extra “9” at the end of the Goodreads user ID that shouldn’t be there according to your link. * Thread Starter [kannmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kannmcc/) * (@kannmcc) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-retrieving-data/#post-9463023) * Corrected that.

Double-check that, and if it’s correct, then I’m at a loss, sorry. * Plugin Author [cmeeren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cmeeren/) * (@cmeeren) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-retrieving-data/#post-9707947) * [@kannmcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kannmcc/), please check out the new version 1.5.4 which should prevent many of the “Error retrieving data from Goodreads” messages people have been seeing.
