Title: [Plugin: Flattr] Cannot authorize with application Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Flattr] Cannot authorize with application * Resolved [berinder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berinder/) * (@berinder) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/) * Hello, * I’m working thru the Advanced setup and is stuck on step 7. I have filled in my key and secret but nothing happens when i click Authorize. * I have tried to confirm it using step 8 but i get nothing. * If i instead try to use teh reauthorize option on the bottom i get a message saying: “An error with the sent parametrs occurred.Go back”. * Not sure if problem is located in plugin or at the flattr-api, obviously. * Regards, Leif Ershag * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flattr/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flattr/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 62 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/page/3/?output_format=md) [4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/page/4/?output_format=md) [5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/page/5/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [berinder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berinder/) * (@berinder) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/#post-1922883) * Now also tried in 3.1 with exactly the same outcome. * Plugin Contributor [Michael Henke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aphex3k/) * (@aphex3k) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/#post-1922884) * after inserting both values hit [enter] to save then. Only then you should click Authorize. * Thread Starter [berinder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berinder/) * (@berinder) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/#post-1922885) * I did that. At the end of step 6 it says, Save Changes, so i clicked save changes. After that i clicked the Authorize link, when the page had reloaded, and…. nothing. Nothing at all. It is as if i didn’t click. * Frustrating… * Thread Starter [berinder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berinder/) * (@berinder) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/#post-1922886) * Here’s the feedback info. non-Apache web Server LIBXML_VERSION: 20703 cURL extension installed. 7.19.3 * Plugin Contributor [Michael Henke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aphex3k/) * (@aphex3k) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/#post-1922887) * Can you copy-paste the url the link is sending you to pleasE? * Thread Starter [berinder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berinder/) * (@berinder) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/#post-1922888) * Ofcourse: * [http://leif.ershag.se/wp-admin/admin.php?page=flattr%2Fsettings.php&settings-updated=true#Authorize](http://leif.ershag.se/wp-admin/admin.php?page=flattr%2Fsettings.php&settings-updated=true#Authorize) * Plugin Contributor [Michael Henke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aphex3k/) * (@aphex3k) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/#post-1922889) * That’s completly wrong. The url should be something like: * [http://api.flattr.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=d2043a92877909858c273a3e3cedac3d&access_scope=read,readextended,click,publish](http://api.flattr.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=d2043a92877909858c273a3e3cedac3d&access_scope=read,readextended,click,publish) * Thread Starter [berinder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berinder/) * (@berinder) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flattr-cannot-authorize-with-application/#post-1922890) * Ok, now i see what i did. That is the link in step 7, which i though was a link to actually authorize the app… Now i see it’s just an anchor down to the button. * The link down there looks like this: `http://api.flattr.com/oauth/authorize? oauth_token=&access_scope=read,readextended,click,publish` and if i click it i get a screen that says:
