As i far i can understand this overruns original security check with a “variable equals word” check. Use at your own risk. * thanks for posting workaround. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] CFDB with Google Spreadsheet = error 500](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cfdb-with-google-spreadsheet-error-500/) * Thread Starter [antonism](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonism/) * (@antonism) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cfdb-with-google-spreadsheet-error-500/#post-3739233) * thank you michael, we look forward! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] CFDB with Google Spreadsheet = error 500](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cfdb-with-google-spreadsheet-error-500/) * Thread Starter [antonism](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonism/) * (@antonism) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cfdb-with-google-spreadsheet-error-500/#post-3739229) * I reinstalled this plugin on wordpress site, deleting assosiate files, but still same error. What is frustrating is that using the link in the error in the firefox address bar downloads the correct csv file. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] CFDB with Google Spreadsheet = error 500](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cfdb-with-google-spreadsheet-error-500/) * Thread Starter [antonism](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonism/) * (@antonism) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cfdb-with-google-spreadsheet-error-500/#post-3739228) * after your note i renamed the form and base to be something simple (“bemember”)( to rule out some naming conversion problem, or something alike), but the error its still the same. I think the login works properly, because changing the credentials you get different errors indicating that login failed. I also cleared the database, having only a testing entry didnt change anything. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] CFDB with Google Spreadsheet = error 500](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cfdb-with-google-spreadsheet-error-500/) * Thread Starter [antonism](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antonism/) * (@antonism) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cfdb-with-google-spreadsheet-error-500/#post-3739206) * update that I hope you find helpfull on bug-hunting. I tried with version 2.5, I get the exact same error. Wordpress Version 2.5.1 Wordpress Contact Form 7 ( in the array says “_wpcd_version 3.3.1”) * It works (latest version) with Excel External Query (the thing that you download a file, put credentials and fills excel with data) with the same credentials giving “no permission” error (500) when trying to fetch from google spreadsheet.
