[https://imgur.com/GdM0cM3](https://imgur.com/GdM0cM3) * If setting the referers to “none” doesn’t do the job (be sure to wait several minutes before testing again), send your API key to enguerrandeep[at]gmail-dot- com (referers should still be set to “none”, so I can test it on my side). * Best regards, Enguerran * Thread Starter [GunplaGamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/) * (@gunplagamer) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9931577) * Sent the API key to you a week ago and have yet to hear back from you. * Plugin Author [enguerranws](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enguerranws/) * (@enguerranws) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9937897) * Hi [@gunplagamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/), * Sorry for the delay, as I’m making / maintaining this plugin on my free time, I can’t answer as quickly as I would. * I checked your API key, it’s working fine. As suggested on the original thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/there-is-an-error-with-your-api-key-it-has-been-rejected-by-google-api-service/page/3/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/there-is-an-error-with-your-api-key-it-has-been-rejected-by-google-api-service/page/3/), I would recommend to check your host PHP modules (some basic stuff are disabled on some hosts – like Hostgator). * Thread Starter [GunplaGamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/) * (@gunplagamer) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9941066) * I use GoDaddy. What should I tell them to enable? * Plugin Author [enguerranws](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enguerranws/) * (@enguerranws) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9942145) * Hi [@gunplagamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/), * Can you tell me which PHP version you are using? You can use a plugin like: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-php-info/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-php-info/) to get this information. * Thread Starter [GunplaGamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/) * (@gunplagamer) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9943774) * [@enguerranws](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enguerranws/) I have 5.3 apparently, I looked on GoDaddy.com * Plugin Author [enguerranws](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enguerranws/) * (@enguerranws) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9943923) * [@gunplagamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/) This is quite old. I would suggest to upgrade at least to 5.6 (just to be sure), or, to follow WP recommandations : * > To run WordPress we recommend your host supports: > PHP version 7.2 or greater > MySQL version 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB version > 10.0 or greater HTTPS support * _Note that upgrading PHP can break things on your website. Be sure to make a backup before upgrading PHP (or, at least, write down your current version, so you’ll be able to switch back if needed)._ * Thread Starter [GunplaGamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/) * (@gunplagamer) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9943975) * [@enguerranws](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enguerranws/) Actually talking with GoDaddy right now. Possibly upgrading to 7.0. Does you plugin work with it? I ran a compatibility check through a plugin and yours says Unknown. * Plugin Author [enguerranws](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enguerranws/) * (@enguerranws) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9944006) * The plugin works fine with PHP 7.0 (I’m testing on it), but I can’t assure you that your whole WP installation will work with it (WP version, theme, other plugins, etc.). * What “compatibility check” did you run? * Thread Starter [GunplaGamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/) * (@gunplagamer) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9944012) * This one [https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/) * Plugin Author [enguerranws](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enguerranws/) * (@enguerranws) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9944041) * [@gunplagamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/) * This kind of plugin can’t be 100% efficient. Besides, it uses WP-Cron to scan files. I guess “Unknown” means that the plugin didn’t scan the plugin yet (it does it in the background, and it takes some time). * Thread Starter [GunplaGamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/) * (@gunplagamer) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9944053) * Ok, yeah it says its too big to scan. but it says the rest of the plugins I use work * Plugin Author [enguerranws](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enguerranws/) * (@enguerranws) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9944065) * > Ok, yeah it says its too big to scan. * Thanks to Google API PHP Client :/ * Well, I guess this issue is solved. This plugin needs PHP 5.6 at least to work. * Best regards, Enguerran * Thread Starter [GunplaGamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/) * (@gunplagamer) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9944339) * ok yep 5.6 is needed. upgraded to 7.1 now. will mark resolved once I am done Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) The topic ‘Still having API issues’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/import-youtube-videos-as-wp-post/assets/icon-128x128.png? rev=1284031) * [Import YouTube videos as WP Posts](https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-youtube-videos-as-wp-post/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-youtube-videos-as-wp-post/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/import-youtube-videos-as-wp-post/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/import-youtube-videos-as-wp-post/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/import-youtube-videos-as-wp-post/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/import-youtube-videos-as-wp-post/reviews/) * 14 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [GunplaGamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunplagamer/) * Last activity: [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-having-api-issues/#post-9944339) * Status: resolved
