Title: Error: invalid_request Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Error: invalid_request * Resolved [Sophiamolino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sophiamolino/) * (@sophiamolino) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request/) * Hi, * When authorizing with Blogger through the plugin, I’m getting an error. I think it’s the same Invalid Token Error other people posted about here in this forum. I’ve tried all the things the plugin author suggested. By Core Control plugin the transport seems okay. I’ve only not yet contacted my system administrator about the firewall settings. * The older version of this plugin got me this fatal error: * _Warning: require\_once(/var/www/vhosts/blogandthecity.net/httpdocs/wp-content/ plugins/blogger-importer/blogger-entry.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/blogandthecity.net/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/ blogger-importer/blogger-importer.php on line 29 Fatal error: require\_once(): Failed opening required ‘/var/www/vhosts/blogandthecity.net/httpdocs/wp-content/ plugins/blogger-importer/blogger-entry.php’ (include\_path=’.::/var/www/vhosts/ blogandthecity.net/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/background-manager/vendor/OAuth/ lib’) in /var/www/vhosts/blogandthecity.net/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/blogger- importer/blogger-importer.php on line 29_ * Well.. I don’t understand it entirely, but I’ve deactivated the Background Manager plugin I’m using. Still got the error. * Someone knows the magic solution for my error? * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/blogger-importer/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/blogger-importer/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Workshopshed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workshopshed/) * (@workshopshed) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request/#post-4484129) * The latest version is at * [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/4010/blogger-importer.3.zip](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/4010/blogger-importer.3.zip) * The “Warning: require_once” error simply means I did not include all the files in the upload hence the replacement linked above, unfortunately I can’t delete the older version and don’t have SVN permissions. * The plugin should display a message on the first screen where you press the button to authorise if you can’t contact blogger. As mentioned in the other threads typical issues include an incorrect clock time on your server, missing communication modules (hence the core control check) and lack of permissions from your server to the blogger servers * Thread Starter [Sophiamolino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sophiamolino/) * (@sophiamolino) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request/#post-4484135) * Thanks for your quick response Workshopshed! * I’ve deleted the Blogger Importer and uploaded the latest version of the link you sent me. And now I’m not getting any screen at all. Not even the Authorize screen. Know about this problem? 🙂 * Plugin Author [Workshopshed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workshopshed/) * (@workshopshed) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request/#post-4484140) * This is a new one for me. Do you get the intro message and/or an error message or just a blank screen? * Thread Starter [Sophiamolino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sophiamolino/) * (@sophiamolino) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request/#post-4484142) * Just a blank screen.

Before with the other error, this plugin also didn’t work. * But now he does.. So may we assume that Blogger Importer has contact with Bloggers and works somehow? * Thread Starter [Sophiamolino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sophiamolino/) * (@sophiamolino) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request/#post-4484144) * Sorry, that plugin probably just works now because I’ve imported posts of with the WordPress Importer plugin. * Blogger Importer still totally blank. * Plugin Author [Workshopshed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workshopshed/) * (@workshopshed) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request/#post-4484145) * Totally blank normally means some kind of compile error which should show up in the error log for WordPress if you turn that on. * Thread Starter [Sophiamolino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sophiamolino/) * (@sophiamolino) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request/#post-4484227) * Sorry for coming back to you, but with the Error Log plugin, I found a error and I’m wondering about your opinion. * Do you think this error might cause the problem between the Blogger en WordPress connection? * > Error log filename is not set. > To enable error logging, create an empty file named “php-errors.log”.

I contacted my host about it, but he does not really know what to do. Do you have an idea of what he might need to change? What settings? * I got another Blogger-blog I would like to import in my WordPress Mu.

Now the plugin works perfectly!! So happy about it! * Thanks so much for all your help.
