Title: Google Authentication Problem Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Google Authentication Problem * Resolved [claridgematt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claridgematt/) * (@claridgematt) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/) * Hi, * I’ve just installed this plugin and when trying to complete Step 1 of the setup, to authenticate with Google, I am receiving this error: * The page you have requested cannot be displayed. Another site was requesting access to your Google Account, but sent a malformed request. Please contact the site that you were trying to use when you received this message to inform them of the error. A detailed error message follows: * The site “[http://co.uk”](http://co.uk”); has not been registered. * Google reports that this authentication method has been deprecated. * Is there a way around this problem? I don’t particularly need access to private albums, so this step is probably not required, but the plugin demands it… * Any help would be appreciated. * Thanks Matt * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/pwaplusphp/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pwaplusphp/) Viewing 15 replies - 16 through 30 (of 110 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/?output_format=md) 2 [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/3/?output_format=md)… [6](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/6/?output_format=md) [7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/7/?output_format=md) [8](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/8/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/3/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [smccandl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smccandl/) * (@smccandl) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/2/#post-5618884) * Ok, both issues should be resolved. * New version of the zip file is available at the same location. * Multisite issue should be ok now that the code uses wordpress site_url function. unauthorized_client message was displayed because I accidentally left my client_id hardcoded in step 3. * Scott * [McPace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcpace/) * (@mcpace) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/2/#post-5618886) * That google connection worked great! (Step 8 should just be your root, google doesn’t allow a path or wildcards) * However, you plugin didn’t work after embedding [pwaplusphp] on a page. 🙁 * Plugin Author [smccandl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smccandl/) * (@smccandl) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/2/#post-5618887) * Thanks – I corrected the value printed at step 8 to include the root only. * Going to need some more info to figure out why nothing is displayed. Can you open up pwaplusphp.php and add this: * echo $addressData; * in functionn doCurlExec after: * $addressData = curl_exec($ch); * Should be line 75. * Scott * [MobileWill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mobilewill/) * (@mobilewill) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/2/#post-5618888) * Hi, * Is this update almost ready?

I have to uninstall the existing correct?

Delete the plugin and reinstall. (note sure why the version # was not changed to 0.9.10 to force update) but this did allow me to get past the “Install Step 4: Failed! Got the following response: { “error”:“ unauthorized_client” }” * However, now my page shows no albums when I add the shortcode [pwaplusphp] * I tried a different shortcode [pwaplusphp album=”random_photo”] and the page state this was only available in the pro version. When I go to the demo page: [http://pwaplusphp.smccandl.net/pwademo.php](http://pwaplusphp.smccandl.net/pwademo.php) and enter my username the albums display fine. * Also, on the right side of the my settings page even though I have loaded v 0.9.9 it is showing PWA+PHP v0.9.7 * Please provide suggestions to deal with this. Thank you. * [FeliciaRS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feliciars/) * (@feliciars) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/2/#post-5618895) * I hope I’m right here. I could set up the OAuth2 and it works. But 1-2 hours later, the galleries are empty again. If I then “Reset Token” begint do it all over again. * Did I forget something so that the gallery will be displayed permanently? I have the latest version installed by 19/04/2015. v0.9.9 after the last correction. * Thank you for your help. * Plugin Author [smccandl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smccandl/) * (@smccandl) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/2/#post-5618896) * [@rjdougan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rjdougan/): That was an oversight, next update I will use .10. Not sure where you are stuck. Did you try the ‘Reset Token’ link? If you click that link and then reload the page, you should be able to go through the authentication process again. * [@feliciars](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feliciars/): In the OAuth2 model there is a concept of a “refresh token”. Every hour or so the authentication expires and pwaplusphp must use the refresh token to re-request access. It sounds like maybe this is not working for you — you shouldn’t need to use the ‘Reset Token’ link to get it working. Will need to enable some debug to see where you are getting stuck. * Scott * [FeliciaRS](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feliciars/) * (@feliciars) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/2/#post-5618897) * Hi Scott, sorry for the question but it’s about this debug information? * ``` [20-Apr-2015 14:36:55 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: PRO_VERSION in .../htdocs/feliciars/wp-content/plugins/pwaplusphp/pwaplusphp.php on line 318 [20-Apr-2015 14:36:56 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: now in .../htdocs/feliciars/wp-content/plugins/pwaplusphp/showAlbumContents.php on line 35 [20-Apr-2015 14:36:56 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined index: picasaweb_user in .../htdocs/feliciars/wp-content/plugins/pwaplusphp/showAlbumContents.php on line 44 [20-Apr-2015 14:36:56 UTC] PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in .../htdocs/feliciars/wp-content/plugins/pwaplusphp/showAlbumContents.php on line 49 [20-Apr-2015 14:36:56 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in .../htdocs/feliciars/wp-content/plugins/pwaplusphp/showAlbumContents.php on line 95 [20-Apr-2015 14:36:56 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: out in .../htdocs/feliciars/wp-content/plugins/pwaplusphp/showAlbumContents.php on line 427 ``` * Thanks for your help Philipp * [rjdougan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rjdougan/) * (@rjdougan) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/2/#post-5618898) * I am getting a very similar error see below.
