# Plugin configuration problem: buttons don’t work

 * I’m in the process of migrating 65 client websites over to GA4 from Universal
   Analytics using the Google Site Kit plugin. For most of them the plugin has installed
   just fine with no issues, but for one site’s setup I’m running into an issue 
   where the buttons don’t redirect me to my Google account for verification. First,
   it was the “Sign in with Google” button that didn’t work. I was able to get around
   it by opening the button’s link in a new tab, but I’ve run into the same issue
   again when connecting Google Analytics. When I click “Configure Analytics”, it
   brings up a pop-up called “Additional Permissions Required”, and when I click
   proceed nothing happens. There is no option to open the link in a new tab, so
   I’m stuck. I typically have the plugin create the new GA4 property, but I’ve 
   also tried creating the property myself in GA and trying to connect to it in 
   the plugin with no different results. I’ve also tried in another browser and 
   I’m having the same issue. I’m confused because I can still use this same process
   for other websites without a problem. Is this an issue anyone else has had? Is
   there a workaround for this?

 * Thanks for your help [@adamdunnage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamdunnage/),
   I ended up solving the problem by deactivating all other existing plugins temporarily.

 * [@adamdunnage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamdunnage/) The problem 
   plugin was the Make Paths Relative plugin by YAS Global, which I guess was interrupting
   the redirection to Google’s verification in some way. Once I was able to set 
   Site Kit up properly, I reactivated the plugin and everything functions as expected.
