Title: Makes WordPress to timeout 504 Last modified: September 19, 2023 --- # Makes WordPress to timeout 504 * Resolved [bunower](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bunower/) * (@bunower) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/makes-wordpress-to-timeout-504/) * Since couple of days i have problems with this plugin. It makes the Checkout page and the Backend like status page and payment settings page extreme slow. I had to set nginx fpm time out to 10 minutes. And in the same ime i also get info **Authentication with PayPal failed: token could not be created.** * i wanted to check what settings cause the problem but i cant enter that page because i am getting constantly 504 timeout after 10 minutes. Before everything was okay and running well. * Running on 4GB Ram Php 8.1nginxSeems like this request timing out. And i tries 45 time to connection.This is weird, because i didt not changed anything here. * ```wp-block-code POST https://api.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token ?grant_type=client_credentials cURL error 28: Connection timeout after 10001 ms WooCommerce\P\A\A\PayPalBearer->request() Plugin: woocommerce-paypal-payments 10,0039 ``` - This topic was modified 2 years, 10 months ago by [bunower](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bunower/). - This topic was modified 2 years, 10 months ago by [bunower](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bunower/).

Please take a look [here](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-curl-error-28-connection-timed-out-after-x-milliseconds/) for the cURL error 28 situation and see if you can get this resolved following those instructions. * This issue is not a common error, so we do believe this is a local issue with your site; not a general issue with our plugin. Please let me know if this helped you further or if you have any more questions. * Kind regards, Joost * Plugin Support [Syde Joost](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joostvandevijver/) * (@joostvandevijver) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/makes-wordpress-to-timeout-504/#post-17065337) * Hello [@bunower](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bunower/) * One addition to my response: we have a feature request open to handle bad site performance when API credentials are invalid or plugin is unable to obtain the token from PayPal. We hope we can improve this in a future update because currently the user experience leaves room for improvement when the plugin was unable to connect to PayPal for the token. * However, we do not expect the cause for the problem you are experiencing is anything else than hosting performance/issues and the account details to be not correct within the plugin. * Kind regards, Joost * Thread Starter [bunower](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bunower/) * (@bunower) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/makes-wordpress-to-timeout-504/#post-17067739) * So as figured out the Problem is in the plugin itself, after digging into it, paypal said the Paypal api url is NOT [https://api.paypal.com](https://api.paypal.com). Instead i should try this URL `[https://api-m.paypal.com](https://api-m.paypal.com/)`. After changing the url in plugin, it worked fine. * Plugin Support [Syde Joost](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joostvandevijver/) * (@joostvandevijver) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/makes-wordpress-to-timeout-504/#post-17068149) * Hello [@bunower](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bunower/) * thank you for letting us know how you got this resolved. We will discuss this further with PayPal and see if we require changes from the plugin side or if PayPal needs to make adjustments to correct this. * Kind regards, Joost Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) The topic ‘Makes WordPress to timeout 504’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/woocommerce-paypal-payments/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev= 3234615) * [WooCommerce PayPal Payments](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-paypal-payments/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-paypal-payments/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-paypal-payments/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-paypal-payments/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-paypal-payments/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-paypal-payments/reviews/) * 5 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Syde Joost](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joostvandevijver/) * Last activity: [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/makes-wordpress-to-timeout-504/#post-17068149) * Status: resolved
