# “Missing site_id or site_code” during setup

 * Hi there,
 * I’ve tried to install Site Kit, but I got hit with the ‘ol fatal error “Missing
   site_id or site_code” during the auth stage of the setup. Before reaching the“
   verify site ownership” stage, it returns: PHP Fatal error: `Uncaught Exception:
   Missing site_id or site_code parameter for setup URL. in /usr/share/nginx/web/
   app/plugins/google-site-kit/includes/Core/Authentication/Google_Proxy.php:139`
 * If I debug the exception, site_code is populated, but site_id is missing.
 * I have the latest version of WordPress and Sitekit.
 * In site health, I have error regarding auto updates, and that I have changed 
   the default timezone.
 * This error only occurs in prod. I’m able to complete the auth in my development
   environment. Everything is dockerised, so all settings and versions (including
   deps) are the same, same site health errors. The only thing that I can think 
   of that differs from prod is that I’m using a different domain.
 * I have reset the plugin and even reinstalled the plugin to no avail – still the
   same error.
 * I have used the troubleshoot plugin, and deactivated all plugins – still the 
   same error.
 * I have a http(s) logger that checks all outbound server requests, and it seems
   that the call to [https://sitekit.withgoogle.com/o/oauth2/site/](https://sitekit.withgoogle.com/o/oauth2/site/)
   returns both site_id and site_secret:` "body": "{"site_id":"REACTED.apps.sitekit.
   withgoogle.com","site_secret":"REDACTED"}".`
 * I just tried to change the WP_HOME on my dev environment to my prod domain, and
   now I get the same error as in prod.
 * I don’t know how to proceed…
 * Regards.

 * Thanks for getting in touch [@svfjk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/svfjk/),
   and for sharing a detailed description of what you’re encountering. Based on 
   everything working in your development environment, please share the following
   and we can hopefully determine what’s happening:
    1. Your[ Site Health information](https://i.imgur.com/Rtkmsba.png). You can[ use this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lhjns2K7c0Ny7ME4gxTcsnYtNUtcMr8BvFpPQi23Y1E/)
       to share privately if preferred.  
    2. Do you migrate the site from development to production while Site Kit was connected?
       I ask as some of the site records may still be referring to your development
       site on the Site Kit service. If so, even resetting on production won’t reset
       the records if they’re trying to communicate with a site records from a different
       domain.
    3. Have you tried resetting Site Kit on development, before then pushing to production
       and setting up the plugin from there.
 * Let me know if you have any questions with the above. Feel free to share your
   development site URL when sharing your Site Health above. Thank you.

 * Hi James,
 * Thank you for the quick response.
 * 1. I have sent the site health info via the form. Note that I have exported the
   info with all plugins activated, since this is a production env.
 * 2. I did not install Site Kit on dev before migration to production. So I have
   activated and setup Site Kit independently on dev and prod with no prior Site
   Kit data in the database.
 * 3. I haven’t done that, since I have activated and setup Site Kit independently
   on dev and prod. I have even removed all Site Kit related data from the database,
   like saved tokens and credential hashes before trying to reactivating/reinstalling
   it on prod.
 * My dev environment is not available publicly, so I’m afraid I can not share that.
 * Thank you.

 * Thanks for the update [@svfjk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/svfjk/). From
   the checks I’ve been performing on your site, I can access any public REST endpoints.
   This may be an indication of something, possibly at host level blocking requests.
   Given you already attempted set up with only Site Kit active via the Health Check&
   Troubleshooting plugin, please share the following:
    1. Do you see any Site Kit related errors when checking the Log HTTP Requests plugin
       which you have active? Feel free to share these via the [same form previously used](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lhjns2K7c0Ny7ME4gxTcsnYtNUtcMr8BvFpPQi23Y1E/)
       if preferred.
    2. Can you confirm no issues setting up Site Kit when using[ this disposable WordPress site](https://tastewp.org/plugins/google-site-kit/)?
    3. Do you have any other WordPress sites on the same production server with which
       you can attempt Site Kit set up from? This could be a new WordPress install 
       within a subdirectory, which uses the same resources. You can uninstall this
       after checking.
 * Let me know if you have any questions with the above.

 * Yes, the REST API is heavily restricted, due to security concerns. If you want,
   I can open up specific endpoints/namespaces.
 * 1. No errors from the HTTP request, what I can see. I can send you all of the
   requests, if you’d like?
 * 2. I can confirm no errors on the disposable. Works like a charm.
 * 3. I have installed Site Kit on another web/domain on the same production server,
   and no errors there as well.
 * This site is using a roots bedrock boilerplate, it might be some issues with 
   that. I’m going to try to another docker setup and skip the /wp/ install directory…

 * Many thanks for the update. It’s possible that your Bedrock environment may be
   impacting Site Kit setup, although this would typically happen if Site Kit was
   set up previously before using Bedrock, which uses a different WordPress folder
   structure – resulting in different callback URLs to what may have been configured
   previously.
 * Do you recall having set up Site Kit previously on the same domain, prior to 
   using a Bedrock environment? If so I can request a check of your site records.
 * > This site is using a roots bedrock boilerplate, it might be some issues with
   > that. I’m going to try to another docker setup and skip the /wp/ install directory…
 * This would indeed be a useful check, but if it you don’t have the time, not a
   problem. Please first of all let me know if you did have Site Kit connected previously.

 * I can’t say 100% if Sitekit has been set up previously, but not to my knowledge.
   But it is a possibility.
 * I tested with changing the docker infrastructure to remove the wp folder, so 
   I’ve set up a new stack on my dev server, but with the real domain.
 * Now the Sitekit setup tries to callback a URL including the wp folder:
 * `/wp/wp-admin/?action=googlesitekit_proxy_exchange_site_code&googlesitekit_code
   =sitekit-{REDACTED}&googlesitekit_site_code={REDACTED}&nonce={REDACTED}&step=
   verification`
 * Nothing in my code or database (that I’m aware) references the wp folder, so 
   could this be an old connection? I have no object cache enabled, transients are
   wiped. The `wp_googlesitekit_redirect_url `meta in `usermeta `doesn’t have the
   wp folder. Even the API call to `https://sitekit.withgoogle.com/o/oauth2/site/`
   sends the correct URLs without the wp folder:
 * `    [...]"redirect_uri": "https://[REDACTED]/wp-admin/index.php?oauth2callback
   =1"[...]`
 * I’ve tried this in multiple browsers, so it isn’t some redirection cache locally.
 * You mentioned requesting a check of my site records, what does that mean?
 * Thanks!

 * Appreciate the update [@svfjk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/svfjk/). Based
   on the callback URL, your mention of the old callback URL seems correct (without
   the `/wp/` path).
 * > You mentioned requesting a check of my site records, what does that mean?
 * I can request a review of all the records on the Site Kit service, which we use
   as a connection between your site and the various Google API’s. Let me know if
   that suits. If so, this may take a couple of days for me to get an update for
   you. Before doing so, just to confirm, your current environment is a Bedrock 
   setup, meaning the below are valid:
   – Site URL: `https://dj*****.se/`– WordPress
   admin path: `https://dj*****.se/wp/wp-admin`
 * If any records for your site do not match the above, we can correct them, which
   should allow you to proceed. Let me know if you’re happy for me to request an
   update. Thank you!

 * Yeah, you may remove the “wp” folder in the admin path, I have now removed that
   in production. It should follow default WordPress paths now.

 * Thanks [@svfjk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/svfjk/). I submitted a request
   now for updating of your records. This will take a day or two.
 * Note that to update your records, I had to include a reference to your wp-admin
   path. I don’t see it accessible when trying to access yoursite.ie/wp-admin at
   present. If you do have a custom wp-admin path, or you have your WordPress files
   in a specific directory that’s impacting your wp-admin path, please share this(
   privately [via this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lhjns2K7c0Ny7ME4gxTcsnYtNUtcMr8BvFpPQi23Y1E/)
   if preferred). Without knowing your wp-admin path, the team member updating your
   records won’t be able to do correct the callback URL which requires this.
