Continuation of my “Google Analytics keeps disconnecting” thread

[Douglas “BearlyDoug” Hazard]

Have someone who works at two locations, including the one I was talking about in the other thread. That is in an account with less than 5 other sites. The other is still in the original account. Both are being reported as disconnecting.

Before I do any other digging with this, does the AIWP utilize the WordPress JSON API? If so, that might help answer why one (or both) sites disconnected.

Thanks, Alin!

Hi,

You will need to re-authorize all those site after the plugin update. If that was done, here is how the plugin works:

All the stats are retrieve from WP database (using a custom made cache system) using WP AJAX.

All requests made to Google, including authorization are PHP based.

All requests with the exception of authorization flow are made directly to Google Endpoint. The authorization flow is through api.deconf.com a custom Endpoint (which makes sure the client secret is always kept secret, otherwise it should be included in plugin’s code, which isn’t safe).

By the way, which is the exact error in error log?

Hope it helps!

Alin, I’ve got a “check in” plugin that reports a list of all WP installs, themes (name, slug, version, status) and plugins (name, slug, version, status). I’ve only worked through 37 of the 80+ WP (and growing) sites I manage. 12 of them use AIWP.

Is there any way we can avoid having to go through the re-authorization process any time AIWP gets updated? This will add considerable time as I work through the sites to update things to have to go back in and re-authorize things.

No errors… wasn’t focused on that, so it got cleared out after the update and re-authorization on the two sites I’ve worked on.

BTW, thank you for confirming that it doesn’t use the WP JSON API. ??

(Are you on Social Media anywhere? I’d love to share some screenshots of the “check in” plugin I pulled together. You can find me on Twitter and Facebook under the same @ I use here)

This was only needed because of the authorization bug we had, it’s not needed after every update. In some cases when Google makes some major changes reauthorization is needed but I usually post that on a blog post days before.
