Patreon Plugin Connections

[shivaesyke]

I had a problem with posts suddenly not syncing after working correctly for a couple of weeks. So I followed the directions and tried to disconnect from Patreon and reconnect. It wouldn’t do it so I did it manually. Now I still can’t connect and have no idea where to go from here.

WP 5.6.1 with PHP 7.4.14
Patreon WordPress 1.7.1 with API v2
Patreon Button, Widgets and Plugin 2.0.9

Edit Still working on this without a solution.
Now it’s saying:

This one appears to have been a glitch with Patreon. I don’t know what was going on with it, but I started the process and didn’t change anything and it finally connected properly. I noticed that when Patreon went down a bit ago and came back, it wiped a bunch of stuff.

Not being able to connect to Patreon api should not wipe anything at your site. Only if you click Disconnect, the app details entered at your site will get deleted. Or click ‘Reconnect’.

It wiped the settings. It was working fine and it was already using the correct API. Now it’s not feeding again.

[codebard]

If you disconnect, it should wipe settings related to your creator account. Not other settings for the plugin or any other WP setting. If you reconnect it to a Patreon account, they should come back.

At the moment, it’s working, but it’s done this before. I can manually make it go, and it’ll catch a few… then stop.

If you are syncing a few posts when you manually start it, and then it stops, there may be cron issues at your WP site, preventing cron from running. That’s important since it may affect other important functions of your site. You should confirm that it works.
