Nothing happens after I put Access Code into Authorize Plugin

My WordPress installation is inside a designated folder on my server, not in the root. Can this be the cause?

No.

however, after I copy and paste the code into the field and confirm, the page reloads with no options to show. When I go to General Settings again, the “Authorize Plugin” page is again there.

Please check the Errors & Debug page for errors.

Thank you for the direction and fast reply!

Hello,
Error & Debug page says:

This error is covered by the plugin’s FAQ page. Here’s the link https://deconf.com/faq-about-google-analytics-dashboard-for-wordpress/, in case you’ve missed it.

Hello,
I tested with all plugins deactivated and the General Settings page still outputs blank upon submitting code, and brings back to “Authorise” page.

My server has:
cURL 7.46.0
PHP Version 5.2.17

IPv6 Support is enabled

Hello,
I wanted to confirm that this issue happens regardless of the type of WordPress installation I use. I tried running the plugin on entirely different website, with all the plugins deactivated, and with the default Twenty Twelve theme, and still recieve the same problem: the authorisation won’t come through.

I even tried the alternative Goolge Analytics plugin by Yoast, and the same thing happens there as well: I cannot pass through the authentication after entering the Key I recieve from the app.

The only thing that comes to my mind is perhaps something specific to my server, can this be the culprit? Maybe I need to enable specific IP addresses in my server’s Outgoing connection settings?

I would be thankful for any piece of information to resolve this.

You need to have outgoing connections enabled (this is also covered by the FAQ page mentioned above). To be more specific, all outgoing connections to https://www.googleapis.com must be allowed.

Thank you kindly! Now it works.

For anyone else puzzled with the same issue (and I’ve seen many here on forum), my process was to literally manually add each blocked IP one by one inside my hosting cpanel advanced settings, and repeat the authentication process over and over again until cpanel reveals all blocked IPs. After you add them all to the Outgoing connections list, the plugin authentication will succeed.

Best,
