YouTube API, Got Error: 1

So can @nicolaottomano, @partounian, @aminech also confirm (or deny) things work OK when saving the settings including API key even if the mysterious “1” error appears?

Apologies, but I will wait until I need to use this again instead of redoing it on one of my sites.

OK, so I pushed a commit to GitHub which:
* changes the text to make clear this is probably not an error and that is probably OK to save the key
* writes the the full YT API response to the browser console (where I could be copy/ pasted and provide to me for further investigation).

For those who like to help; feel free to download the Github version and check out the browser console for the YT API reponse when “error 1” occurs.

I downloaded and install the Github version linked above (it was also 1.7.0), but there didn’t appear to be any difference.

The same error message still displays:

Checking your key ...

Something went wrong, WP YouTube Lyte might not have been able to retrieve information from the YouTube API, got error: 1

And I couldn’t find anything in the console

OK, (a bit) helpful still (as in; I’ll have to look into debug logging in other parts of the code). More soon.

new version on github, extra debug info should be visible now (*crossing fingers*)

OK, for those of you still brave enough to fight this monster; can you please install the “health check” plugin?

I’m specifically interested in the following information that plugin will show;
* PHP version
* Communication with www.ads-software.com
* Secure communication
* cURL version

I downloaded Health Check and the following is the result (I quickly translated it from italian)

PHP version: 7.1.16
Communication with www.ads-software.com: www.ads-software.com is reachable from your server
Secure communication: Can communicate in a secure way with other services
cURL Version: 7.59.0

I downloaded the last version from github and installed it over the version I already had.

While activating it, WordPress says

cannot activate the plugin, fatal error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare lyte_settings_enforcer() (previously declared in /web/htdocs/www.MYWEBSITE.COM/wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/wp-youtube-lyte.php:78) in /web/htdocs/www.MYWEBSITE.COM/wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte-master/wp-youtube-lyte.php on line 80

So I tried to uninstall it and reinstall from scratch… same issue.

that’s because you (seem to) have both the “normal” and the github version active @nicolaottomano, disable the “normal” one and you should not get that error.

You are right… I thought the “normal” one was automatically replaced by the new one.

I’ll give it a try.

[EDIT]
Yes, it works, even if in the backend configuration it gives the error 1.

even if in the backend configuration it gives the error 1.

so you see the exact same error-message? no extra information?

+1 to this error without any extra information here…

so is the error

“Your API key might be OK, but the API call did not succeed or the response was not entirely expected. Technical error: 1”

OR

“Something went wrong, WP YouTube Lyte might not have been able to retrieve information from the YouTube API, got error: 1”

?

I have “Something went wrong, WP YouTube Lyte might not have been able to retrieve information from the YouTube API, got error: 1” but no debug information in the console.

So we’re still nowhere … I’ll create a “debug”-version which will explicitly adds debug output to the php-errorlog. do you guys/ girls have access to your php errorlog?
