OAuth2 Token Authorization Failing at last step

    Everything works for me when requesting token access, up until when I get returned back to my website. That is, I enter the client ID and secret, request access, and then click “Authorize” on the Mendeley site with no problems. But when it kicks me back to my WordPress dashboard, the page is blank. Eventually I have to click Settings -> WP Mendeley again, but nothing gets saved.

    I have verified this on Microsoft Edge and Firefox…any ideas on a solution?

    Am I really the only person who has had this problem? It seems like the same problem described in the “Known Issues”, but I’m not using the Safari browser – I have since verified on Firefox, Edge, IE11, and Chrome that the problem is still a problem.

    I have also tried disabling all other plugins, no effect.

    I vaguely remember that I had a similar problem. In the end it turned up that the problem was not the plugin, but the settings of my server. The plugin uses curl to retrieve the token, but I did not have it installed on my web server. Try enabling the debugging in the plugin, in wordpress and watch the error log from your web server. You should find a hint somewhere.

    Sorry, but I just cannot reproduce the problem here on my systems – and so have no idea where to start fixing the problem.

    I figured it out – it was the cURL support. Somehow, even though it had been enabled correctly on my server for prior applications, the “enable DLL” setting in my php.ini file got commented out. So cURL wasn’t running, and as soon as I enabled it (again; thanks dinel for the tip!) the authentication works.
