 * Hi [@jefferykeithsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jefferykeithsmith/),
 * Could you please send a screenshot of the issue? Did you follow the video tutorial
   on how to setup the plugin? Have you tried reauthenticating?
 * Thanks,

 * Hi [@jefferykeithsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jefferykeithsmith/)
   we are in the process of releasing version 6 of the plugin which makes the setup
   of the plugin heaps easier. I am going to mark this as solved but checkout the
   new version of the plugin (v6) as you don’t need to create your own app anymore!
   So I am pretty confident this will work for you.

   a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some
   ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the
   person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.
