# 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&#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

 * To my eyes, the token refresh is working correctly. Something else… especially
   since 2/3 galleries are functional.

 * I tried using private galleries. They work (in principle), but the one gallery
   is a near duplicate of the public library that does not work, and it also does
   not render. Is it possible there is something about the metadata or ??? that 
   is breaking the PHP output? The galleries display fine on Picasa.

 * Hmmm…. I may need to look for another solution if we don’t come up with a fix.

 * Hi Rich, what is your picasa username. Since they are public I can try to work
   it out on this end instead of sending you some things to try.

 * Hi Rich and jroy,
 * I uploaded a debug version of showAlbumContents.php at
 * [http://pwaplusphp.smccandl.net/code/showAlbumContents.php.debug](http://pwaplusphp.smccandl.net/code/showAlbumContents.php.debug)
 * Download that and put it into your wp-content/plugins/pwaplusphp folder.
 * Rename the original to showAlbumContent.php.orig and then rename showAlbumContents.
   php.debug to showAlbumContents.php.
 * Reload the page and tell me what you see.

 * Hi Scott,
 * I have to use the final version or the debug version of your plugin?
 * with the final version and this file nothing happen: no pictures and no debug
   information.

 * Use 0.9.10 from the WP repository and then replace the showAlbumContents.php 
   with the showAlbumContents.php.debug from

 * I agree with jroy.
 * The galleries that worked previously continue to work, but now spit out debug
   data. The album that did not work previously still terminates the page HTML code
   prematurely = no footer code, etc.
 * Here’s what I get from the 3rd album:
 * DEBUG: [showAlbumContents] PHOTO_ID is 6127805466152109585

 * Can you guys try to load the page and then send the last 50 or so lines from 
   your web server error log? If the script is dying for only certain albums that’s
   pretty strange but error_log might say something interesting.
