So far so good – after clicking the Login-Button on the Steam-Page I get redirected to my Page BUT not logged in. (I enabled registration for everyone after that but still the same problem). There is no new entry in my error_log. * Maybe I misunderstood something: My Login- and Sync-Slugs redirect to steam, my logout-slug to a white page although I checked the box for using referer instead.( As I already mentioned the Urls typed in in “Post-Logout-Redirect” and “Post- Login-Redirect” get cleared by saving settings so i had to check this box.) * My next step will be disabling all other plugins to find out if there are any interference. * Edit: There is no Steam-Section on my user profile Edit2: After disabling all plugins step by step there are still the same problems * Regards - This reply was modified 9 years ago by [donrwetter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donrwetter/). - This reply was modified 9 years ago by [donrwetter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donrwetter/). * Plugin Author [Konrad Chmielewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/) * (@hwk-fr) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-500-21/#post-9145006) * Hello, * Okay so the first HTTP 500 problem was due to: – either cURL function not being able to grab the distant avatar – either the server has not the proper rights to upload/write in the uploads folder * Now your problem with login/sync/logout. * – It is normal to have no steam section in your user profile, as you never get logged in. So there’s no data to show. * It’s hard to determine exactly what problem is going on, since you even disabled all your plugins but it still doesn’t work. * As there is already a problem with cURL or folder permissions for upload, I would say it has something to do with your server/Wordpress install. The simple fact that the “Post Login URL” & “Post Logout Redirect” get cleared on saving proves there’s something wrong going on under the hood. * I’ll try to investigate, and re-run each part of the code see if I can find something. But I can’t guarantee anything for the moment. Sorry 🙁 * ____________________________________________________________________________ * EDIT: Okay the Post Login/Logout Redirect URL clearing is a bug. I’ll soon push a hotfix * I would suggest you to try an another setup: * – Keep Steam avatar upload disabled – Enable the PopUp option – Check “Use Referer” for the Post Logout Url – Make sure your Login button has the ID `wpsapButtonPopup` in order to make the popup work. * Example: `Login` * Let me know what is the result. - This reply was modified 9 years ago by [Konrad Chmielewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/). * [donrwetter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donrwetter/) * (@donrwetter) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-500-21/#post-9145379) * Hi, * thanks for your answer and your engagement. * The 500 error wasn’t due to a right problem – I also checked it and uploads via php are enabled. * I also checked my error Log. There is just a new ssl-error which I mind is not connected with the problem I have with your plugin. * I followed all steps you suggested and there is still the same problem – After clicking Login in the Steam-PopUp I get redirected to my last visited page on my Website and thats it. There is no new User added in WP nor I’m logged in. * Now i have 2 theories: 1) Could it be that “[http://”](http://”); in the Steam-API is the problem and I should only provide my URL without “[http://”](http://”); to them? 2) Should I clear my database from entries of your Plugin and reinstall it? * The first point I’ll check soon and then I’ll edit my post. * And again: Thank you for your patience 🙂 _____ EDIT: Changing the API-Settings in Steam did not solve the problem. * EDIT2: If I’m logged in via WP and click the logout-button of your plugin I get redirected to a white page(/steamapp/logout). So the problem is probably after clicking the login-button until the end of the process. - This reply was modified 9 years ago by [donrwetter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donrwetter/). - This reply was modified 9 years ago by [donrwetter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donrwetter/). * Plugin Author [Konrad Chmielewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/) * (@hwk-fr) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-500-21/#post-9147064) * Hello Don! * As I told you, I was running tests on each parts of the code to see where it could come from. In the end I decided to rework it completely to add more controllers, tests, conditions and make the code more robust. It will lead to a better and easier debugging, and (hopefully) less bug like yours in general. * I can’t give you a deadline on the update release, but a fair estimation would be around 2-3 days. * Thank you for your time, I’ll keep you updated here. * Regards. - This reply was modified 9 years ago by [Konrad Chmielewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/). * [donrwetter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donrwetter/) * (@donrwetter) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-500-21/#post-9147778) * Good morning, * Wow – 2-3 days is very quick and surprised me after reading the first part of this sentence. * Thank you for your diligence!
