That google connection worked great! (Step 8 should just be your root, google doesn’t allow a path or wildcards)

However, you plugin didn’t work after embedding [pwaplusphp] on a page. ??

No they didn’t, I tried changing the uri in the dev console to match the subdomain to see if it would work but it didn’t help.

P.S. your steps are clear and well written. Easier than other plugins that walked through the developer console.

Was going great until clicking step 2 gave me a permission problem:

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

URL: MYSITE.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=pwaplusphp&loc=step_2_project_creds

I’m running a multisite install, and I’m a super admin. So that was an odd error.

Changed the URL to MYSITE.com/SUBBLOG/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=pwaplusphp&loc=step_2_project_creds

and the page came up just fine.

Same problem and solution on step 3. On step 3 the redirect url is incorrect as it doesn’t list the subblog.
For example
REDIRECT URIS: https://www.MSINSTALL.info/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=pwaplusphp

SHOUDL BE: REDIRECT URIS: https://www.MSINSTALL.info/BLOG1/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=pwaplusphp

After step 3 I bounce to google and see the permissions screen but after accepting and coming back to the wrong URL, changing it to the subblog shows:

“Install Step 4: Failed!
Got the following response:
{ “error” : “unauthorized_client” }”

Great work on this plugin. I’m looking to replace another plugin that uses AuthSub and it stopped working but the dev isn’t responding.

@smccandl AuthSub will be turned off next month. When will you be updating to use Oauth?

“Starting April 20, 2015, AuthSub will no longer work for Google Accounts.”

Thanks @ubergiant!

I get a blank screen when first activating the plugin. Thoughts on that? And before I troubleshoot, will this plugin allow me to use photos on Google Drive as images in my post?

Looks like the plugin uses an out dated authentication.

“AuthSub for Google Accounts is going away

Some applications and websites use AuthSub for authentication when you’re signing in, and to access data that you’ve given them permission to access. Starting April 20, 2015, AuthSub will no longer work for Google Accounts.

If you’ve seen a warning that’s brought you to this page, it means that you’re using an application or website with AuthSub and may be affected by this change. For more information, we recommend you visit that application’s help center, or contact its support team.

If you’re a developer of an application that uses AuthSub, you can learn how to migrate to OAuth 2.0 and the AuthSub end of life schedule.”

It seems the picasa authenticator doesn’t work. I revoked access and tried to re-grant permission. The plugin doesn’t receive the authorization from Google. Prob why the private albums were removed.

The call back should hit:
https://YOURSITE/wp-content/plugins/picasa-express-x2/picasa-express-2.php?authorize

But after confirming the page loads blank, so I’m guessing the plugin never gets the rights it needs.

Hey tamatea, hope you found this yourself, but on the settings page there is a checkbox for “Return HTML instead of shortcode” this will output img tags instead of code.

That also comes with a caveat of “NOTE: Enabling this feature limits the ability of this plugin to update old posts when image size options are updated or if Google’s migration from Picasaweb to Google+ breaks existing URLs”

But that gets rid of the shortcode while editing.

I also have this problem. None of the private albums show up.

I’m also experiencing this. Did you find anything else out? I’m just starting the debug process.

The documentation doesn’t match the new layout inside the Google console. Mine generates a json file now instead of p12 file.

Agreed, being able to insert the related post block would make life much easier

For anyone else having this problem, it’s version 3 of Advanced Custom Fields by By Elliot Condon.
