 * 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&#8221](http://co.uk&#8221); 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

 * it works now.
    first time I use a google developer account which was different
   from the google account I use for Picasa, now google developer account and picasa
   use the same google account.

 * Hi Scott,
    Unfortunately, I do not see any message. But when I run on one side[
   pwaplusphp], the other galleries are displayed again. Without “refresh token”
   to use. Uses [pwaplusphp] perhaps a function that [pwaplusphp album = “Album 
   Name”] does not call? After 1 hour is gone everything. I do not want [pwaplusphp]
   use, since there galleries are that should not be publicly visible.
 * Thank you for your work.

   everytime!!!

 * I have remove the old version and reinstalled 0.9.10 After a period of time the
   images finally are showing. Will continue to monitor to make sure they don’t 
   disappear.
 * Thank you for addressing this issue.

 * [@jroy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jroy/), please give it a try. If 
   not I will need to send you a special debug version of the plugin to help figure
   out where the problem is.

 * [@feliciars](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feliciars/), both types of shortcode
   are setup to refresh the token automatically if it has expired. I will need to
   post a debug version of the plugin for you to use.

 * I uninstall 0.9.10, delete all files and then install again.
    I key in the client
   ID and client secret, finish all the steps and it doesn’t work. I request again
   the token and this time it doesn’t work too but I have this error message : Warning:
   substr() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in /home/naruwan/www/wp-
   content/plugins/pwaplusphp/showAlbumContents.php on line 286

 * sorry, it’s just warning message, I see the images after the list of warning 
   messages.
    but before this warning wasn’t show, why it appear now?
 * I add this line in config.php: define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);
 * but warning still appear 🙁

 * To give some positive feedback, I just installed version v0.9.9 (first time install)
   on a single site using the new Google token system and it went quickly and easily
   without a hitch. Looks like the glitches should be out for everyone else soon,
   too.
 * Thanks, Scott!

   an hour.
