Authorize Photonic to connect to Google account failing

    I have created a Google Client ID and Google Client Secret and entered those in the provided fields in Photonic settings, but when I go to Photonic-> Helpers and click on the “authenticate” button I am taken to a Google 401 page that says “Error: invalid_client. The OAuth client was not found.”

    This is also on the page:

    Request Details

    access_type=offline
    client_id=MyClientIDgecc.apps.googleusercontent.com
    prompt=consent
    redirect_uri=https://mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=photonic-helpers
    response_type=code
    scope=https://picasaweb.google.com/data/
    state=0de6b6c9d62cec48a335787dec26936a::%2Fwp-admin%2Fadmin.php%3Fpage%3Dphotonic-helpers

    I’m stumped as to what I’m doing wrong. Any Ideas?

    Never seen this. Can you try the suggestions here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17166848/invalid-client-in-google-oauth2 ?

    Thanks for the link. I checked out that page and someone mentioned to “Make sure when copy/pasting the client id you don’t include a trailing space.”

    It turns out I included a space in front of both the id and the secret. I deleted that white space and all is good now.

    Thank you again. Marking as resolved!

    Great! Thanks for letting me know.

    I am also happy to see you trying the Picasa authentication – thanks to your help on another thread explaining how to find the album IDs, a thorough rethink helped me come up with a hopefully better solution!

    You betcha. It was the least I could do to help in return for all your hard work and a fabulous plugin. Cheers!

    I would also like to add, after trying Picasa authentication, it works perfectly. So much better than finding the album ids in the way I posted and definitely a better solution!
