"There was a problem getting the required authorization"

Double check if your the app on instagram has the right callback and url.
Then double check if the client id and client secret is correct on the settingspage

Hi there.
I have a error when trying to connect the plug in and instagram account.

{“code”: 400, “error_type”: “OAuthException”, “error_message”: “Invalid Client ID”}

I already have checked several times client & client secret (pass).

Could you please help me?

Best

You moght explain the difference in beetwin instagram ID and user name ?? fro newbees

Bye guys.

Hello
I have the same problem. I have set up everything correctly and I have been working on this for about an hour now. “”There was a problem getting the required authorization!””

Are you sure you have entered the client ID and client secret correctly?

ok let me check to see if I have all the steps right
Step 1 log in to my instagram
Step 2 register a new oAuth client
When doing this use this info
————————————————————————
Use this URL as Callback/Redirect URL, when registering Instagram application: https://www.daregeek.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=instagrabber_redirect_uri
————————————————————————
Step 3 copy and past client ID and Client Secret into the settings filed.

Step 4 authenticate
heres where it gets stuck. It might have something to do with the path that instagrabber told me to find the wp-ajax.php file? I have 7 domains under 1 host so all in different folder names. This domain is in the wordpress file
https://www.daregeek.com/wp-admin/admin- but here it doesnt state it. this could be because I have gone in to wordpress and changed my wordpress address to the https://www.daregeek.com.

After I get the client ID do I need to fill out this info in the Fields I was given? https://www.daregeek.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=instagrabber_redirect_uri like at a = plus the ID

And if you were going to ask it does show on my instagram that everything is Authorized .

please any help would be appreciated.
Thank You!!

I got the same issue, as long as you click the authorise token at the bottom on the application at https://dev.twitter.com/apps it should work but the error will still come up.

Is this on a stream page or the settings page?

The error comes up in a new window when you try to authorise on the settings page.
Like I said though I found a way round this that allows it still to work ??

I’m gonna remove the button on the settings page anyways. It doesn’t have a function anymore.

Does the authorization work on stream pages?

Not tried recently.

I tryed on both pages. I just made a stream, then it says You must Authorize this stream. So I click Authorize. It opens a 2nd window has instagram on it. so I authorize that and still get the same thing ” There was a problem getting the required authorization!” jw Im doing this in google chrome could that be a problem? you never know that’s why I ask

Did you test it to see if it worked anyway?

Yes I did. I uploaded a picture to my instagram and nothing shows up on my blog. I set instagrabber to make a post.

Under settings of the plugin have you gone to the fix tab and clicked the second button down?
