 * Hi, I installed the Google Drive plugin following your examples – it is very 
   straightforward and the only question I had with install (What I cannot also 
   understand really from your walk thru screens when there is a link to Wikipedia
   Javascript), is how to fill in the javascript section.
    1. Possibly this is what is causing the error script – “The session state
    2. > () didn’t match the state parameter (token)”?
 * The ID and secret were supplied by the API, and I filled in the redirect URL 
   according to the suggestion from the plugin on the WP backend (rather long url–
   ending with xxxxwp-admin/admin.php?page=configure_google&action=auth
 * No javascript URL was supplied so I attempted just the base address of my blog
   URL and the address of the Redirect URL provided by the plugin.
 * Each time, I tried the clear cache (from the browser Firefox, not sure if this
   the cache you meant) – will try it again with a clear cache plugin in WP blog.
 * Thanks for your help – also, I did try resetting the secret (not the API ID),
   each time, but no help –
 * The token is the only error I have encountered. Thanks so much for any help.

 * Each time configure Google account we need to create new client ID & secret ID,
   once configured you can use it until reconfigure the account. once reconfigure
   you need to clear browsers cache and then create the new one.
 * check the below video link for more details

 * Hello Malarvizhi Krishnan,
    Thank you for your reply. I tried again (Realizing
   from your video, I did not need to deal with the javascript dialogue box, only
   the first one that shows up (no advanced).
 * Still, same error, could it be the version of WP (most recent updated)?
 * I mad a quick (less then 3 min) screencast on youtube now, if you want to see
   if I am doing something wrong. I deleted all instances of previous API attempts,
   cleared cache…

 * Hi Malarvizhi,
    I did manage to get the auth to work for API though not much 
   use currently. I just thought it might be the host provider issue with resolving
   links or whatever on the base URL – so installed the WP blog on an extension 
   now at [claire.binhoster.com/queue](http://claire.binhoster.com/queue) instead
   of [claire.binhoster.com](http://claire.binhoster.com)
 * It worked! but I’m not sure about moving the whole blog!
 * Plus not sure about that issue, maybe it’s because I have a lot of “fix it”, 
   clean it, db-manager plugins installed, it’s just too crowded. Plus lots of plugins
   trying to find a front end uploading/repository.
 * Not sure what you mean by server credentials (how to obtain them). OK, thanks,
   I will be satisfied with what I’ve got for now. Many thanks for the plugin.
