Title: Not Importing Posts Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Not Importing Posts * Resolved [Harold Brown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harold-b/) * (@harold-b) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/) * Hello, The instructions you provided didn’t match what I saw in the developer console. I didn’t have register but it did have Credentials. I clicked on that and create new key and then browser key. I used the API key that it created. I plugged that into your plugin and it appears to have worked. The Google id and key stayed put when I saved. However it isn’t importing anything from Google +. I created a Google+ category and have Maximum number of new activities to import set at 100. I enabled comments and meta tag. I clicked on Manual mass import and it said successful almost immediately but nothing imported.

Google is changing the UI of the console continuously. In my case, also the G+ API was disabled. * I updated the description and verified I’m able to generate a new key. In case the FAQ section doesn’t update, here the points to follow: - Go to ([https://cloud.google.com/console](https://cloud.google.com/console)) and log in. - Click on “Projects” and go into the project “API Project”. - Click on “APIs” in the left sidebar. - Find in the list “Google+ API” and enable it. - After it was enabled, click on “Credentials” in the left sidebar. - Click on “Create new key” under the heading “Public API access”. - Select you want to create a “server key”. - The string shown as API Key is your Google+ API key to use. * Thread Starter [Harold Brown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harold-b/) * (@harold-b) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522166) * Thanks, I gave it a try and it still doesn’t work for me. Does the exact same thing. Keeps all the stuff I entered, but doesn’t do anything. I executed the API explorer and my posts are retrieved so who knows what the heck is wrong. I swapped out the Theme and deactivated the plug-ins, but that didn’t change anything. * [https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/plus/v1/plus.activities.list?userId=%252BHaroldBrownJr&collection=public&_h=1&](https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/plus/v1/plus.activities.list?userId=%252BHaroldBrownJr&collection=public&_h=1&); * Thread Starter [Harold Brown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harold-b/) * (@harold-b) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522168) * FYI – I was updating the previous post and it wouldn’t let me because it was too old. I did see two new messages when I added a new key. * Settings saved. * Manual import of Google+ activities done. * However, nothing imported * Plugin Author [Sebastian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sebstein/) * (@sebstein) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522195) * It will only import the latest messages not imported yet. So if you have imported already some message, it will only import messages posted later. * [Table28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/table28/) * (@table28) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522201) * Hi Sebastian, * Google is always changing everything! * I’m having a problem similar to what was described by Harold. I also tested the activities list for the user ID of my google+ business page using the API explorer and the feed I was looking for showed up in good shape. * Any idea why the plugin is not pulling that feed? * Here’s the number to for my G+ ID: 109835690853505401856 * By the way, when I try to use my vanity url in the plugin settings, the field will only accept the first 15 or so characters. Here’s that string: +Table28consulting/ posts * Here’s the full link to my google+ page [https://plus.google.com/b/109835690853505401856/+Table28consulting/posts](https://plus.google.com/b/109835690853505401856/+Table28consulting/posts) * Plugin Author [Sebastian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sebstein/) * (@sebstein) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522202) * [@table28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/table28/): I can assure you that it works, because I just tried it on a local test installation. Your G+ ID is * +Table28consulting * Also, I released a new version allowing far longer IDs, but this shouldn’t be the problem in your case. Make sure you got a valid server key generated. The instructions under FAQ section should also be up-to-date now. * Plugin Author [Sebastian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sebstein/) * (@sebstein) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522203) * [@harold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harold/) Brown: I also tried your profile in my local installation and it is working fine. Your G+ ID is: * +HaroldBrownJr * So please check you generated a server key for the G+ API and activated the API itself. * [harold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harold/) * (@harold) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522204) * Hi Sebastian, * I received notification of your reply but you’re trying to reach someone with another username. FYI * [Table28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/table28/) * (@table28) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522205) * Thanks [@sebastian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sebastian/) for such a quick response. I was using the browser API key from Google instead of the server API. My apologies. You can take a look at the output here: * [http://table28.com/category/google-feed/](http://table28.com/category/google-feed/) * Any thoughts about whether it would be possible to create an app using the Google API that would allow a user to directly embed their Google+ blog directly into a site? Something similar to the embeddable widgets Twitter has? * Plugin Author [Sebastian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sebstein/) * (@sebstein) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522206) * [@table28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/table28/): Good to see it working now! * Yes, such an app is easy to do as long as you don’t expect to write something from your app to G+. This would require more work as you have to involve additional APIs. But in a pure sense, such a widget can be even done without any server backend by just querying the API using JavaScript. * [Table28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/table28/) * (@table28) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522207) * Thanks so much for your feedback. I will check into that API option too. Just a novice when it comes to JS, but would like to learn more. I just added you to my circles on G+. * [NoSubstitute](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nosubstitute/) * (@nosubstitute) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522308) * Sorry to bring this topic back to life, but it feels more right than starting a new post with the same title. * I’ve enabled G+ API and generated a server key, but it seems nothing is happening when trying to import. Content from [https://plus.google.com/+KimNilsson](https://plus.google.com/+KimNilsson) should end up on [http://no-substitute.com/](http://no-substitute.com/) but nothing is received. * Or rather, I can see there have been requests, but all have failed. 40/40 earlier, 81/81 now. All failed. But I see no errors anywhere. * [NoSubstitute](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nosubstitute/) * (@nosubstitute) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-importing-posts/#post-4522309) * WOOHOOO, Now it works! I removed the IP check and now it allows the requests. Perhaps the WP blog is reporting the wrong IP adress to the API?
