Cannot authorize

When you say “Nothing happens” does that mean that a lightbox window doesn’t open or does that mean a blank lightbox window opens?

No lightbox window opens

When I looked at your site it showed that you hasn’t saved the file extensions, click the save button to the left of the authorize button which should enable the authorize button.

Thanks for looking.
I did use the save button but it did not work.

Does the color selector work on the admin page?

Yes. I changed the background to green and it worked.

Any popup blockers, ad blockers or antivirus on your browsers? Which browser are you using?

I am using IE 9. I turned off all my blockers, antivirus and firewall to make sure that was not stopping the lightbox window from opening. No luck. More suggestions appreciated.

If you have another browser like firefox or chrome give them a shot. The security settings on internet explorer might be preventing the lightbox from opening.

I think you are onto something. I used chrome and now I get this.

Step 1: Pre-authorization acquired!

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /srv/disk12/1370532/www/kmentry.co.nf/wp-content/plugins/inc/Dropbox/OAuth/Wordpress.php on line 80

Now what?

Looks like your host is blocking the outgoing connection to dropbox.

You are probably correct. They do not allow the following;

allow_url_fopen, fsockopen, pfsockpen, getrusage, get_current_user, set_time_limit, getmyuid, getmypid, dl, leak, listen, chown, chgrp, realpath, link, exec, passthru, curl_init

Do you know if the plugin is using one of these for the authorization?

This plugin as well as wordpress uses curl. Your likely to run into allot of issues in the future if you stick with a server like that.

I am not a programmer but I did a little research. I do not know if this is true but it says “Anything you can do with cURL can be done with the WP_Http class, and it will allow your plugin to be much more versatile and compatible with more server setups.If performing any sort of file request in a plugin use WP_Http instead of relying entirely on cURL.”

Here is a link I found that talks about it.

Having said that I found out that biz.nf supports cURL if you upgrade. I am going to try that. Hope it works.
