WordPress for Google Docs Error

Open paulbonsey opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Just installed it and when I go to OPEN it, It shows up on the right and there is a button there to Add WordPress Sites but there is an error at the bottom saying Error: Authorization is required to perform that action.

Please report this error

So.. I am. I cannot do anything else it seems with the addon.

Hi @paulbonsey, that error appears to come from Google Docs when there is a permission issue. The first thing I would suggest is to remove the add-on and re-install it. When you do, please pay close attention to the request for permissions pop-up (you can see an example at 0:07 in https://youtu.be/h0J4S2l3qDs?t=7). The permissions are needed by Google Docs to allow the add-on to connect to the WordPress.com API servers.

If that doesn't solve the issue, please update us here and we'll figure something else out.
