Trying to connect Wordpress to Zapier, getting an "Error parsing response" error

Hi all,

Our apologies for the delay in taking care of this long-standing issue. 

I’ve just spoken with the team and we’ll have our engineers look into it in the next 1-2 weeks and provide an update here with either a fix or further details.

Thank you for the detailed input and showing how much this matters to you!

~ Lars, product manager on our integrations team

I too got the same error. Can you please share me the solution for this.

Thanks,

Vijay

Agreed. How quickly would this be resolved if this was an issue Zapier themselves were actually having?

I was working perfectly, and support has been super in the past. It’s all slightly confusing really.

Hi all,

Following up to let you know that we’ve been digging into the issue and it’s not a quick fix so it’s going to require further investigation.

For now, we’re adding logging so we can get more details about how and why this issue is occurring. With that we will be able to diagnose and hopefully come up with a resolution.

We don’t have an estimate for when it will be fixed yet, but we’ll let you know our progress again in 1-2 weeks at most.

Again, apologies to those affected and we’ll get it resolved ASAP.

Best regards,

~ Lars

@SteveFree I wanted to thank you for the post you wrote, especially the part about changing permalinks. You’re correct that offering that as a solution without mentioning the risks/considerations was not the best choice on my part.

I’ve added a note to that reply including a link to an article explaining permalinks and how to change them without breaking one’s website. 

HI - I am also having the same error.  Please add me as an affected user. 

This plugin seems to be very poorly done and does not seem to be updated at all.  I am also having the exact same error as everyone else in this thread and it seems that the issue has been ongoing for many months.

Thank you for the update and for keeping us in the loop @Lars. Looking forward to hearing more about a resolution to get the plugin working again with Wordpress.

Thnx

Hi all,

We’ve made some progress this week and are still working to resolve the issue.

As some have noticed, we’ve started to show more detailed error messages to distinguish what turns out to be a few different issues. 

More updates to come! Meanwhile, we appreciate your continued patience while we work through this.

Best regards,

Lars

Hey @Machinerie. I’ve added you to the list!

We are creating a new site and had connected Zapier with our WP site, and now I am doing some final testing, I can no longer connect. We get the following error message, similar to all those above.

We hit an error adding your new account

authentication failed: Authentication response parse failed.

1. Make sure you click "Allow" or "Accept" on the permission popup
2. Double check your Account has the correct permissions
3. Check out our help docs for more information

Any ideas?

Thanks

+1 Please add me to the list. I have the same issue.

We are also facing the same problem while Adding JIRA account. Please help us with a solution or a workaround.

@RelaxKids @Filmon @OsTechAdmin You’ve been added to the report! We’ll notify you directly once we have an update!

Hi all,

As promised, I’m here with an update on our progress. Unfortunately, we haven’t completely resolved the issues but we’ve made some updates and have suggestions for those still having trouble.

What we’ve done:

• Fixed some of the common errors when authenticating
• Improved what errors are reported so it’s easier to troubleshoot
• Updated our Help Docs to handle the most common issues

What we recommend trying:

• If you’re facing issues, we recommend trying to set up the connection again. If it doesn’t work, check the Help Docs to see if it has suggestions for the error you’re seeing. If that doesn’t help, please reach out to support and we will help troubleshoot.

Meanwhile, we’re continuing to investigate and fix more issues. As you know, WordPress is highly customizable so we’re seeing that various setups are running into different issues. 

Thank you for your continued feedback and patience while we work out the various issues.

Can you add me to the update list on this please?

I’ve tried all kinds of things to make it work but still getting error messages.

Poor…...
