I believe this is related to recent (last 8 months) changes that Google made to the analytics api. They introduced a much more rigid way of authenticating users as some people may already know. With that they introduced a limit to the number of calls you can make to the service without a product key. That product key isn’t something I can include in the plugin because it is specific to each user who would use it. Google doesn’t specifically say how many calls you can make without that key but it should be large enough for most people. However I believe there have been issues with other plugins causing that quota to be used very quickly. And if you are using the embedded stats display on heavily visited pages you could also run through that quota pretty quickly. I will work on getting the ability to add a key to the admin area and see if that helps.

@harold B Can you describe the issue you are seeing? The plugin should be working and there are a lot of things that could cause that error message. Does the data under the graph load at all or does nothing at all load? Can you try logging out completely and then log back in? You can do that by going into the plugin options for GAD and then selecting the “Forget Authentication” check box and hitting save. Then log in using the OAuth option.

I’m somewhat worried that the Web Ninja plugin may have made my plugin unusable for people who have it installed. They took the majority of my code and put it into their plugin. My main concern is that they didn’t bother to change the option names to not conflict with the ones from my plugin. You may actually have to completely delete that plugin to get GAD to work now.

Did this resolve itself? It sounds like it could have been an issue with chrome at some point.

I’ll look into adding this for the next version.

This has been resolved in version 2.0.4 of the plugin.

I will add this to a todo list for the plugin. I’ve had a few other people ask me for the same but I don’t use multiuser to it isn’t something I have taken the time to figure out yet.

There is a “forget authentication” check box in the options for the plugin. If you check that and then save it will forget the authentication for the older account and you can log in again.

Is there something showing up in the area where the graph used to be? Are you still seeing the data under the graph?

I’ve resolved this in the latest update, version 2.0.4. I knew of the upcoming change on the Google side but I didn’t understand that they were going to shut down the older host names.

Sorry about that. I haven’t had time to fix this until just this weekend. It should be fixed in version 2.0.4 of the plugin.

Have you tried using the “forget authentication” option in the plugin options panel? You should try that and then use the OAuth login system and see if that fixes things.

This has been fixed in the latest update, version 2.0.4.

Curtiss, thanks for the change. I have looked at changing this before but never got around to it. I’ll try to integrate it into the next release.

For what it is worth, WebNinja is using the code I wrote for the Google analytics dashboard plugin. I will look into the original issue but I wanted to comment here that the 404 issue was fixed in the latest version of GAD.

This is probably something the hosting company you are using has changed. You should contact them and ask them if they have disabled SSL support in libcurl under PHP. They may have done it for some security reason.
