Hello, As part of a new community I have been working on, I have encountered some issues with getting the single sign on of WP Discourse working. In my config Wordpress has been set up as the client while the Discourse install is the SSO provider. Both have a matching secret key configured. When I try to either link my account or log in via Discourse my browser throws out the following error. Oops The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Detailed information about the error was logged, and an automatic notification generated. We’ll take a look at it. No further action is necessary. However, if the error condition persists, you can provide additional detail, including steps to reproduce the error, by posting a discussion topic in the site’s feedback category. When I then check the Discourse error log from the admin interface I see TypeError (no implicit conversion of nil into String) /var/www/discourse/lib/single_sign_on.rb:108:in hexdigest’` When I click it I get the backtrace: /var/www/discourse/lib/single_sign_on.rb:108:in `hexdigest' /var/www/discourse/lib/single_sign_on.rb:108:in `sign' /var/www/discourse/lib/single_sign_on.rb:63:in `parse'

droplet with Ubuntu 18.04, my Wordpress is running 5.0.2 on Nginx on a Centos 7 droplet with php-fpm 7.3. Anyone have any idea what is going on here?

The configuration for the SSO secret on Discourse has been changed. When Discourse is being used as the SSO provider, the SSO secret needs to be added to the ‘sso provider secrets’ setting. Use * as the domain. When it’s configured, the setting should look like this: [31%20AM] I’ll update the plugin’s SSO client instructions today. Let me know if this doesn’t solve your issue.

Awesome, thank you :smiley: That did the job for me.
