Hi Mr.Alexandre Froger,
After reading your comment on stackexchange, I decided to try your plugin.
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/260142/2-wordpress-sites-with-2-databases-but-sharing-the-same-usersI got this error when testing:
Error contacting the remote site: 401 – UnauthorizedLog entries:

Hi @jarjarbinks !
Let’s imagine site A and site B, and site A is the one on which you see the error message and the logs.
What happens if you visit http://www.siteB.com/wprus/token and also check the network inspector in the browser? The intended result is a blank page, and only 200 codes in the inspector.Alternatively, feel free to send me an email from my website with non-public info such as the URL of your sites, or if it comes to that and you are willing, credentials to the dashboard – this 401 error is something I have never encountered during my tests, and it may be a plugin conflict, and I would like to investigate if there are cases that need more documetnation.
Ok.
Problem was with the theme (qaengine on both sites) not with the plugins. I’ve disabled all plugins and tried again, my permalinks became broken. So I had to delete the db and import a backup.
But I don’t think your plugin caused this, probably some codes that I’ve changed in the theme files long before, might be responsible.Anyway, I installed another theme on both sites.
This time SiteA Outgoing & Incoming tests passed but SiteB gave this error:
“Login” action is not activated on http://www.SiteA.com with remote IP xxx (incoming).
(Login” action was activated and Saved on both sites + All plugins were disabled)I’ve tried both http://www.siteA.com/wprus/token and http://www.siteB.com/wprus/token,
I got an empty page and the network inspector showed 200 code as expected on both sites.I checked the logs of SiteA and realized this warning:
2020-04-23 11:20:31 – Success – Access granted – http://www.SiteB.com
2020-04-23 11:20:31 – Warning – Ping received for deactivated action “Login” from http://www.SiteB.com with remote IP xxx (incoming)Like @jarjarbinks,
I’ve done everything and between site A, B and C I am getting this 3 erros:
Alert – Error contacting the remote site: Payload error – Syntax error
Alert – Error contacting the remote site: 500 – Internal Server Error
Alert – Error contacting the remote site: an undefined error occured. Please make sure the address is correct and try again. On the remote site, please make sure the plugin is activated and that the permalinks are up to date by visiting the permalinks settings page. —> this the main site… if you give me your e-mail i can send you more detais.
