Get a Page not found (404) error when redirected after final authorization

    Hello, I have two separate sites I’ve tried this on, both have their own Google hosted email, and I get the same results each time. I followed your guide as closely as I could and I have the client id and the secret, and have them pasted in exactly. Also, within the Google apps settings, I pasted in the exact authorized redirect URI as specified in your guide and that appears within the setting within the site configs, which is “https://connect.wpmailsmtp.com/google/”. However, each time I always get the page cannot be found 404 error after I go through the prompts to allow access, by clicking the orange button in the settings. Everything seems to work up until that process, but then gives the error on the redirect back to the site.

    This is the site is question:
    https://www.pulsedry.com/

    Also, I’ve disable WordFence when I would attempt to authorize and WP Hide Login, just it case they were the problem. Still gives the 404 each time?

    I followed your guide, which is here. However, this guide doesn’t match 100% with the current interface/process within Google apps. However, I did manage to stumble through, I think I have those settings correct:
    https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-set-up-the-gmail-mailer-in-wp-mail-smtp/

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Okay, I believe I have resolved the issue!

    For anyone else in the future that has this same problem, where you get a 404 on the redirect after the final step to authorize the plugin, in this instance, it was related to ModSecurity. Go into cpanel, or whatever your host systems use to administer itself, and temporarily disable MobSecurity while you complete the authorization process. Then, after the authorization completes successfully, and the test emails come through, just turn ModSecurity back on.

    I hope this helps someone!

    My goodness, as fate would have it, you so kindly decided to respond to your own post and provide the key piece of missing information that I have searched high and low for… I am truly thankful! Now it works!!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
