    hey everyone,

    i install the plugin in wordpress and want to connect to my mailchimp account. if i press the “connect” button a new side open.
    then i insert my username and passwort and click login.

    after this i get this message:

    error!

    POST to https://localhost/…&#8230;. failed with 404: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN”> <html><head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Not Found</h1> <p>The requested URL /……. was not found on this server.</p> <hr> <address>Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80</address> </body></html>

    can anyone help me or fix this problem or is it only possible to connect to mailchimp if the webside is on a online hoster (now its localhost)?

    greetings

    Hey Roboro!

    Thanks so much for getting in touch! I’m happy to help.

    Our plugin does require being on an active internet-connected server rather than a local server in order to run normally. However, if you’d like you can try Developer Mode, which will allow you to see it in action in order to work on appearance before enabling the plugin on a live site. We have an article on getting that set up here:

    If we can help out with anything else, please let us know. We’ll be glad to help!

    Hi DrewMatthews,

    Thanks for hopping in the forum! To dig into what’s happening here, we will need a little more information.
    Where in the wordpress admin area are you seeing this error?
    What is the exact text of the error? Just add that to your reply. If the error contains sensitive data, you can email it to wordpress[at]mailchimp[dot]com And reply in the forum so we will know to look out for it.

    And finally, were there any recent changes to your host or website?

    Thanks!

    Hi Mailchimp!

    I’m seeing this error after I attempt to connect my mail chimp account.

    from the plugin setting page I hit connect which launched a new window which has my mail chimp creeds pre-populated from my machines keychain. I know these creeds work since I’ve checked in multiple browsers and even a copy of chrome where I never log into mail chimp.

    Upon clicking connect I get the error

    “error!

    POST to https://team.danceexperience.ca/index.php?mcsf_action=authorized&salt=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&user_id=1 failed with 401: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN”> <html><head> <title>401 Authorization Required</title> </head><body> <h1>Authorization Required</h1> <p>This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn’t understand how to supply the credentials required.</p> <p>Additionally, a 401 Authorization Required error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.</p> </body></html>”

    I’m wondering if this is due to my domain being password protected. I’m going to disable that and try again.

    I’ve changed some of the string to XXXXXXX just in case.

    and yep deactivating password protection to my domain allows the plugin to work properly.

    good thing to know for the future I suppose.

    Hey Drew,

    Thanks for getting back to us. It would make sense for the password protection on the domain to cause the plugin to run into trouble. During the authorization process the authorization server requests information from the server separate from the initial data pushed with the authorization request, and if it finds it can’t get the necessary response the process will fail. If the plugin is currently being set up in a “live” dev environment kept private using domain credentials, one possible recommendation is trying the Developer Mode for the plugin until the page is ready to go public.

    If we can help with anything else, let us know!
