Question about Google authorization

    I’ve just set up updraftplus to back up a site to Google Drive. I’ve gone through the authorization process, and backups are being stored to my Google Drive…but the plugin is giving me a notice (yellow window at the top of the settings page) that I must authenticate. Also, further down, red text states an access token has not yet been received. I’ve tried re-authorizing, but these messages persist. Should I just ignore them? The plugin seems otherwise to be working fine.

    and thanks for a great plugin…

    How strange. Do you have access to phpMyAdmin? (Or if not, you could install the “Adminer” WordPress plugin). Then run this direct SQL command:

    select * from wp_options where option_name like ‘updraft_googledrive%’;

    Replace the wp_ in wp_options with whatever your table prefix is.

    Don’t post the results directly here, since some of them are meant to be secret. But I want to see if you have an option stored for updraft_googledrive_token.

    You should do if it’s working. But on the other hand, if the warning displays then that means you apparently don’t. As I say, strange!

    David,

    I checked the database and the updraft_googledrive_token option exists, but it’s blank.

    In that case your backup definitely can’t be working, as UpdraftPlus has no token to send to Google Drive, so it can’t have access.

    If re-authorising doesn’t work, then start afresh with a new client API username. Make sure you’re not using the same details on multiple sites.

    That did it. I created a new Client ID, used those credentials in the plugin, and it worked perfectly.
