Problems connecting

I can’t really connect.

I click connect, I fill in my credentials in the popup window. After this, nothing happens.

Opening the browser console:
The POST-Request to https://woocommerce.mailchimpapp.com/api/status/api_***** returns {status:"accepted"}

The POST-Request to https://shop.tld/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php errors with
Error calling OAuth finish endpoint. Basically the response from the wp_remote_post() which is triggered with this ajax request returns with the response code 405: "Method Not Allowed"

When I look into mailchimp.com/account/api/ I see the Authorized application.

But in the wp-admin, when I go to Mailchimp, I still need to Connect, because the plugin was not able to receive the credentials and store them I guess.

@websupporter thanks for reporting. We’ve seen this come up a few times, and it doesn’t make sense on the surface but it might have something to do with the wp_remote_post altering the METHOD… Can you please try this again now and let us know what happens?

@websupporter we’ve also just updated the plugin version to 2.3 just today – if you could please update and let us know if the problem is resolved that would be great.

Hi @ryanhungate
thanks for coming back. I tried it.After the update: Now I get a fatal error at the same stage. Reason: wp_remote_post() returns now a WP_Error (“Too many redirects”), while the plugin does not check, if the response is a WP_Error. I tried quickly just to raise the number of allowed redirects to 100, but it still runs into the same problem.

> but it might have something to do with the wp_remote_post altering the METHOD

I tested it now locally too, where I do have the same problem:
Basically this is the response I am getting:
```
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Server: nginx
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

        <title>Redirecting to https://woocommerce.mailchimpapp.com/api/finish</title>

        Redirecting to <a href="https://woocommerce.mailchimpapp.com/api/finish">https://woocommerce.mailchimpapp.com/api/finish</a>.
    </body>
</html>
```
Using xDebug, as far as I can see it I am doing a post request as I stop here: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/3caaa40fc6aa67a655d8bf714717901a8ab8373e/wp-includes/Requests/Transport/cURL.php#L335
The redirects then of course are GET-Requests.

I hope this helps you. To me the question seems to be why the server responses with this redirect instead of returning the requested data.

@websupporter this is really strange – do you have any idea if you’re doing anything to overwrite anything in the curl requests? For instance there is a http_api_curl action that allows overrides to be made. Since you’re working locally on stuff, I assume you’ve got a code editor that you could do a search for that word and see if another plugin is doing something there?

@websupporter we’ll go ahead and close this out – assuming you’ve been able to connect. If you’re still experiencing this issue, please do reach back out we would like to figure out why this is happening for you.

Hi @ryanhungate,
sorry I didn’t came back. To be honest, I didn’t figure it out, but as there was some time pressure, we went with another solution.

Thanks for your good support!
