 * Hi, I am unable to connect to Site Kit. I keep getting the following error –
 *     ```
       Error connecting Site Kit
       Unknown Error (code: invalid 'client_id' or 'client_secret').
       ```
   
 * When I click on the REDO THE PLUGIN SETUP button, i get the following error –
   `
   invalid parameter: 'client_id'`
 * However, I am able to connect using the GA Google Analytics plugin, Version 20220517,
   By Jeff Starr.
 * I have tried disabling GA Google Analytics plugin but still the same error.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finvalid-parameter-client_id-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Many thanks for sharing. From reviewing your site details nothing obvious stands
   out. I did see a couple of plugins active which could potentially impact Site
   Kit set up however I’ll need to check these on a test site. Before doing so can
   you follow the steps below, which can help rule out any such third party plugin
   conflicts?
    1. Reset Site Kit (_[Tools > Available Tools > Reset Site Kit](https://i.imgur.com/P6al3e7.png)_)
    2. Login to your site from a Chrome browser [incognito window](https://i.imgur.com/ALzgiHp.png)
    3. Install and activate the [Health Check & Troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
       plugin.
    4. Navigate to “Plugins > Health Check & Troubleshooting > Troubleshoot”.
    5. From the same screen click on the “Available Plugins” tab at the top right and
       then click on the “Enable” option next to “Site Kit by Google”
    6. Attempt to setup Site Kit once more
 * Let me know how you get on with the above.

 * Hi James,
 * That fixed it. I was able to successfully install and configure Site Kit by Google
   using your instructions.
    Thanks for all your help.
