When I follow these instructions, I don’t see Google ask for most of these fields in your list. The fields you have listed seem to be relevant for a different purpose. * Thread Starter [kallekn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallekn/) * (@kallekn) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998059) * As far as I can see I am following the instructions. The “consent screen” appears when I try to create the OAuth Client ID. Is that not what I am supposed to do? * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998145) * But I don’t see this field coming up via the instructions. You should only see the fields from the screenshots in points #3 and #4 of the instructions for “ Creating a Client ID”. Where are you being prompted for the consent screen? * Thread Starter [kallekn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallekn/) * (@kallekn) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998225) * Whenever I try to create the Client ID I get the prompt for the consent screen. * Here is a screenshot: * [https://ibb.co/0Z4Fg5W](https://ibb.co/0Z4Fg5W) * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998242) * Ah, I see. So Google has changed a few things (again). * Let’s try a few things – blank out the “Authorized Redirect URIs” and save the ID. That should probably go through. Next, instead of following the regular instructions, follow the instructions in [the workaround](https://aquoid.com/plugins/photonic/google-photos/#auth-workaround). So basically, you will add a different authorization URL, and then specify the scope etc. as per the workaround on a site that Google runs (i.e. the [OAuth2 Playground](https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/)). * Thread Starter [kallekn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallekn/) * (@kallekn) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998267) * Not working, I still get the same consent screen prompt. * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998309) * Even without any URL? It lets me save the key when I blank out the Authorized Redirect URIs. * Thread Starter [kallekn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallekn/) * (@kallekn) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998323) * I can’t create a new key, but I do have an old key, maybe I can use it. * Thread Starter [kallekn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallekn/) * (@kallekn) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998344) * No. I give up. 🙁 * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998346) * What’s the issue with the old key? * Thread Starter [kallekn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallekn/) * (@kallekn) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998360) * I am afraid I don’t really understand all this stuff, but I do have an API key that I created 2014. However, that is obviously not what I need. * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998367) * OK, let’s try this step by step. * First, when you are going to the “Credentials” page, are you directly clicking“ Create Credentials → OAuth Client ID”? Or are you clicking “Create Credentials → Help me choose”? The reason I ask is because in your screenshot I am seeing“ Find out what kind of credentials you need”: that is not what I get when I click on “OAuth Client ID”. It seems to me like you are picking “Help me choose”; that is causing the problem. * Go back to the [API Manager](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/), then click on “Credentials”, then click on “Create Credentials”, then “OAuth Client ID”. * Thread Starter [kallekn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallekn/) * (@kallekn) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998387) * That was what I started with, didn’t get anywhere there either. * [https://ibb.co/H2xmvNN](https://ibb.co/H2xmvNN) * Thread Starter [kallekn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kallekn/) * (@kallekn) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998400) * Wow, it worked, it was enough to fill in the product name (I wrote Photonic), the other fields were not required. * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-consent-screen/#post-11998407) * That’s a relief! * You are likely to require the workaround to actually get the Refresh Token, so keep the workaround link above handy.
