 * Hi,
 * I’ve just installed this plugin and when trying to complete Step 1 of the setup,
   to authenticate with Google, I am receiving this error:
 *  The page you have requested cannot be displayed. Another site was requesting
   access to your Google Account, but sent a malformed request. Please contact the
   site that you were trying to use when you received this message to inform them
   of the error. A detailed error message follows:
 *  The site “[http://co.uk&#8221](http://co.uk&#8221); has not been registered.
 * Google reports that this authentication method has been deprecated.
 * Is there a way around this problem? I don’t particularly need access to private
   albums, so this step is probably not required, but the plugin demands it…
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks
    Matt

 * jroy,
 * What is it, exactly, that you’re doing wrong? 😉
 * I just installed the new Adobe Lightroom CC, released today. Crashes immediately
   on startup. V5 works fine. Arggghhh….

 * I will do the test again.
    I just request a new token, now go to this page [http://www.naruwan.fr/taipei-divers-motifs-francophones/](http://www.naruwan.fr/taipei-divers-motifs-francophones/)
   and you will see the pictures, go back in 1 hour and you will see nothing.

 * I’m joking, of course. Maybe you forgot to set the timeout timer to zero… that’s
   disabled.
 * Seriously, can you describe exactly what you do, and how it fails? I can then
   try to reproduce the failure on my site. Maybe my site also has a problem and
   I just don’t realize it.

 * I just follow the instruction in the settings page of the plugin, I didn’t read
   something about the timeout timer!

 * Ok, there is no timeout timer! No more jokes…
 * You said it initially works, then it doesn’t. Is that after opening a new browser
   window, or returning to the same window that has been sitting idle, or after 
   using the rest of the site, or logging out of your Admin user status, or ??? 
   I would like to try to make my site fail, too, so it would be helpful to know
   what you do to see the failure, after it initially seems to work fine. Follow
   me?
 * And I just saw your post. I brought up your site, seems fine. I will re-check
   it later.

 * I try on different browser, different windows, different location on earth…
 * actualy it’s not my site, it’s for a client, I’m in Taiwan, he is in France, 
   I setup the plugin and the token, I test it, it works, I send an email to my 
   customer in France, because of time difference he try later, but it doesn’t work
   so he send an email, “you said bullshit it doesn’t works, fix it quickly”, what
   I’m supposed to say? to do?
 * go back to the website later, and you will see by your own.

 * I hear your pain. Mine is also on a site for someone else. There were several
   times in the beginning that images did not show up, but I thought it was a network
   problem from where I was working. It has seemed to be fine since. I just tried
   your site in France again and it works for me, using Safari on a Mac.
 * For now, I would tell your client that Google created this mess, and many are
   having problems, but it should be fixed soon. And I’ll keep checking and will
   update here if I see a problem.

 * Ok, I too have a problem with the galleries. I was deceived at first into thinking
   that everything was ok.
 * There are three public Picasa galleries. The middle one no longer shows images–
   the gallery cover images show up, but when you click on the middle gallery to
   show the images, nothing! The first and last galleries work fine.

 * jroy,
 * I can confirm your problem – I try to reload the page on your site and the images
   are gone. Closing the window and opening a new one has no effect. Opening Firefox
   and trying to use that browser also fails – and it has never seen your site before.
   So it does look like the problem is authentication between your website and Google.
   🙁 Likely the same issue for my site, with a different permutation.

 * I have a “ToDo” found.
    I have “Public Album Only” set to “true”. The galleries
   are to be featured on my blog, I have put in Google+ on “public”. Now individual
   galleries are displayed again. I hope it works now longer.

 * Hi Rich — these 3 galleries on your site are public? In that case there’s no 
   need to setup the authentication and it’s quite strange that one of them doesn’t
   work. Let me know…
