Hello, I have been trying to connect for several days to complete the setup wizard for the WordPress Patreon plug-in. I am attaching the error message.
WP 6.9.4 with PHP 8.4.18
Patreon WordPress 1.9.17 with API v2
:“AccessDenied”,“code”:null,“title”:“Access denied”,“detail”:“Could not find associated campaign”,“status”:“400”}]
Why do I get this error message when I have provided all of the proper ID codes?
The error indicates that your account is not a creator account and does not have an active campaign. You need to launch a campaign / create a creator account.
No, I am not the creator of the Patreon site that I am integrating with, but I am the admin on the WordPress site and have an active account on the Patreon site we are connecting to. Under the SYNC Post option on the plugin, I have put the creator’s email account used to log in to Patreon. Is that not enough?
To integrate the WordPress plugin with your site, you have to connect it to the creator’s account during the setup flow. This flow uses Patreon OAuth flow - during this time the creator has to authenticate. Without the creator authenticating with Patreon it’s not not possible to connect the site with Patreon (docs).
