Thanks for your answer, it overcomes the problem! Can you explain why it happens? What’s the problem with that User-Agent? It doesn’t make any sense to me…why is it an “invalid request”? * Thanks again 😉 * [snehal mandhare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/snehal-mandhare/) * (@snehal-mandhare) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-failed/#post-8650355) * I have tried many plugins for eg. social login, social login lite, Yith social login, social connect wont work for me. please help why I am unable to login via google ac * [José Cabral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josecabral/) * (@josecabral) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-failed/#post-8650589) * I ended up forking wordpress-social-login repo and fixing that user-agent problem. I think the only change i’ve made was the user agent string. * I don’t know how u couldnpt get it to work, its very easy: – enable Google+ API integration @ [google developers apis](https://console.developers.google.com/apis) * – create the API credentials @ [google developers credentials](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials) - configure it +/- like this * – install the plugin (and maybe do what [@sachedar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sachedar/) said) – activate it – put your credentials in the plugin configuration * Be free to ask for help if u need * cheers Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Google Authentication failed’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wordpress-social-login_a1a2bc.svg) * [WordPress Social Login](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-social-login/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-social-login/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-social-login/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-social-login/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-social-login/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-social-login/reviews/) * 10 replies * 8 participants * Last reply from: [snehal mandhare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/snehal-mandhare/) * Last activity: [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-failed/#post-8650355) * Status: not resolved
