Title: Error: invalid_request oauth_callback Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Error: invalid_request oauth_callback * Resolved [Tarnished Royalty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tarnished-royalty/) * (@tarnished-royalty) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request-oauth_callback/) * After searching the forums and google, it seems that all of the previously asked related questions and answers are slightly different from what I am experiencing, so hopefully this isn’t a repeat question. None of the answers were able to help me so I hope I can find help here. From the authorize page, I click the authorize button and get the following google error: * Error: invalid_request * Request Details oauth_callback=http://tarnishedroyalty.com/wordpress/wp-admin/ index.php?import=blogger&noheader=true&token=&token_secret= * I’m using a twenty thirteen child theme, version 3.7.1. Any help is greatly appreciated. * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/blogger-importer/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/blogger-importer/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Workshopshed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workshopshed/) * (@workshopshed) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request-oauth_callback/#post-4529457) * The token and token secret values should be set which is why it’s reporting an invalid request. What happens is before it shows you the authorise screen it’s already made a request to Google to get these tokens. So you need to check the connectivity between your site and Google. * Try the core control plugin mentioned here [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-blogger-importer-diagnosing-problems](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-blogger-importer-diagnosing-problems) * Are you using the beta3 version?

The Blogger_OAuthSignatureMethod_RSA_SHA1 is not used by any other code in the plugin and can probably just be removed. * The Blogger OAuth being used here actually is the Blogger_OAuthSignatureMethod_HMAC_SHA1 class.
