# SOLVED: White Screen, using Google Authentication

 * TLDR: Look for a space at the beginning of your Google Client ID in the Authorizer
   Settings.
 * I suspect there are various reasons for the *white screen* issue. I’m just sharing
   my resolution in case it may help someone.
 * Examining the URL for my “white screen”, URL was: (Note: **BOLD**)
 * `https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?continue=https**%20**8744...`
 * The **%20** is a space in front of the Google Client ID. I removed the space 
   and the *white screen* is gone.
 * The developers may want to trim this field before it gets saved to avoid this
   problem.
 * I got rid of the space and it’s working! I’m very excited to use this plugin.

 * Sure we can definitely trim whitespace from those config fields. Will include
   that in the next version, thanks for the suggestion!

 * We added a check to trim any whitespace from the Google Client ID and Secret
