Authorization: can't go past Step1

  • Hi,
    I’m having major troubles with authorizing the plug-in. I have uploaded the plugin in my plugin directory and activated it on my network. I’m using multisite and buddypress (dunno if matters at all).
    As for the Path in Dropbox folder I wasn’t sure what to use, so I’m using this Dropbox/Customer Service & Marketing (6.9.12)/Management Companies/_Documents/ which I’ve found in a previous thread.
    I allowed the file extensions, and selected Use CURL, but I get this message…

    Step 1: Pre-authorization acquired!

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Dropbox_Exception_RequestToken’ with message ‘We were unable to fetch request tokens. This likely means that your consumer key and/or secret are incorrect.’ in /membri/centrolocalebari/wp-content/plugins/simple-dropbox-upload-form/inc/Dropbox/OAuth/Wordpress.php:162 Stack trace: #0 /membri/centrolocalebari/wp-content/plugins/simple-dropbox-upload-form/inc/wpsdb_auth.php(143): Dropbox_OAuth_Wordpress->getRequestToken() #1 [internal function]: wpsdbAuth->choice(”) #2 /membri/centrolocalebari/wp-includes/plugin.php(406): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #3 /membri/centrolocalebari/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php(72): do_action(‘wp_ajax_choice’) #4 {main} thrown in /membri/centrolocalebari/wp-content/plugins/simple-dropbox-upload-form/inc/Dropbox/OAuth/Wordpress.php on line 162

    I’m using altervista.org for my website.
    I would truly appreciate directions as I’m sure I’m just doing something stupid. I’d love to be able to use this plugin.
    Thanks!

    Most of the time, this is caused by the host blocking the outgoing connection to dropbox or the host not having CurlSSL. I would also start by using a simple directory until you confirm everything is working. Something like /simpleUpload would work.

    I see, I thought of something like this. So I also guess there’s nothing I can do about the host blocking the connection or not having CurlSSL, is there? Is there a way I can find out if this is the issue with the server?
    Thanks again ??

    Most hosts will have something in the control panel that will allow you open outgoing connections, but your best bet is to contact support and ask them. To find out if you have Curl or CurlSSL, create a php file with <?php phpinfo(); ?> in it, visit the url of that file and in your browser press control F and search for curl.
