Title: Google Authentication Problem Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Google Authentication Problem * Resolved [claridgematt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claridgematt/) * (@claridgematt) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/) * 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”](http://co.uk”); 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 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/pwaplusphp/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pwaplusphp/) Viewing 15 replies - 61 through 75 (of 110 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/4/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/?output_format=md) [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/3/?output_format=md) [4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/4/?output_format=md) 5 [6](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/6/?output_format=md) [7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/7/?output_format=md) [8](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/8/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/6/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [smccandl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smccandl/) * (@smccandl) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/5/#post-5618930) * For anyone interested, I’ve uploaded a debug version of the plugin at the link below. It should help us understand what’s happening with the token refresh. * 1. Download it 2. Uninstall the current version 3. Upload, install, activate the debug one 4.

They should be printed above the album thumbnails on the main page that lists all the albums. * What shortcode are you using?

There is perhaps a PHP error that is killing output. The page source of my 2nd gallery looks prematurely terminated, as does the output. It does not look like the code executed properly and was simply denied access to resources. It is not a clean fail. * –Rich * [wildnaturephotos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wildnaturephotos/) * (@wildnaturephotos) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/5/#post-5618939) * What shortcode are you using?

I will update the debug and post another version for you to try. * Scott * [jroy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jroy/) * (@jroy) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/5/#post-5618941) * I use this shortcode : [pwaplusphp album=…] * Plugin Author [smccandl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smccandl/) * (@smccandl) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-authentication-problem/page/5/#post-5618942) * [@jroy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jroy/) – that explains why you’re not seeing the debug.
