Dropbox not authorising
-
I’m an autodidact with zero $ making a site for a non-profit, and am struggling with getting Updraft to authenticate Dropbox.
The outward link to Dropbox that reads…
“Remote storage authentication
You have selected a remote storage option which has an authorisation step to complete:
Follow this link to authorise access to your Dropbox account (you will not be able to backup to Dropbox without it)”
leads here…
“To complete setup for Dropbox…
The button will take you to: https://www.something.org/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=updraftplus&action=updraftmethod-dropbox-auth”
—But it doesn’t go there. Instead, I”m booted out of WordPress on every tab, and after logging back in again and navigating back to the Updraft settings tab there’s an error message that Dropbox isn’t authenticated.Advice was that the failure to authenticate was caused by ‘server’s ‘maxQueryString’ request limit’ being too low and requiring min 3500. So the provider has lifted the limit to 15000, but that hasn’t fixed the problem.
It’s been tried with the Dropbox account logged in, in 4 different browsers including Firefox in safe mode, with the security plugin disabled, with cookies deleted, the cache cleared, with cookies permitted, with all permissions granted and no privacy protections in place.
Within Dropbox, in the Apps tab, Updraft is listed with all its permissions, as being connected to Dropbox…yet that link back to WordPress is always failing, and it doesn’t complete the authentication.
Why is wordpress logging out in response to the authentication link?
Getting very worried, and have been bashing around inside this problem for days without finding a solution. What have I been doing wrong/not doing?
How many others have had this difficulty?
Would really appreciate some ideas on how to proceed.
