Patreon-Connect Plugin Causing 405 Error

Wordpress Plugin
1

About an hour ago the Patreon-Connect Plugin makes it impossible to get to wp-admin because it results in a 405 error:

The method is not allowed for the requested URL.

One of my users got the 405 when they tried to connect their website and Patreon accounts. I then went in and tried to update the Creator’s Access Token in the Patreon plugin. After that anytime I enable the plugin, the 405 error comes back.

| patron-button-and-widgets-by-codebard | active | none | 2.0.5 |
| patreon-dev-plugin | active | none | 1.0.0 |
| patreon-connect | active | none | 1.2.2 |

-----EDIT - I updated Patreon-Connect to 1.3.2. It doesn’t produce the 405 error anymore, but when I try to connect a user I get:
Sorry. Could not acquire your info from Patreon. Please try again later.

-----Also less pressing but under the locked content no amount is listed as to the tier they must be:

To view this content, you must be a member of [Blind Wave’s Patreon] at or higher tier

-----Ok, Quick Start for Patreon: “We must connect your site to Patreon to enable Patreon features. Please to start the setup wizard” Gives me this error:

We weren’t able to get the go ahead from Patreon while attempting to connect your site. Please wait a minute and try again. If this situation persists.

-----I tried creating a new client using API V2 and that didn’t Work Either.

It’s not just the plugin. I’m integrated manually using the PHP library, and it has the same issue.

Even on this developer forum, I can’t log in using my Patreon account.

Just from the timing, I think here’s someone else with the same issue, too: https://twitter.com/AranKoning/status/1177706202123444224

I had my API URLs starting with https://api.patreon.com/oauth2/... Changing it to https://www.patreon.com/api/.. as documented in the API Reference seems to work.

I assume the URL must have changed at some point, because I built my code based on the API Reference and I doubt I just made up the api.patreon.com subdomain, so it must have been mentioned somewhere.

The “Let’s Connect” Button does indeed use the URL starting with https://www.patreon.com/oauth2/authorize-client-creation?, but I don’t know how to change it to use the new URL for Authentication.

This seems to have been due to a hiccup at the API at Patreon, and it seems to have been resolved. I have been able to test and confirm that it works.

Looks good on my end. Thanks!
