it is exactly what “bizwizkid” posted 5 months ago with the notion of changing the words like i mentioned on the post right after the post of “bizwizkid”.

you can use the workaround discribed above.
(i managed to make it work again, need a small edit in the worpress files.)
if you have any working alternative please tell.

after some recent update on wordpress above workaround broke, getting same error (500)

workaround worked for me too. just a note, you can (and you should) replace words “secret” and “redacted” with something random, long and very difficult to guess, as a minimal security measure. 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.

thank you michael, we look forward!

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.

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.

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.
