Using Discourse (2.9.0.beta4(10a4bbfa72)) with [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) (2.4.1) as the SSO provider.

I can see the payload is being transferred in logs (here it is anyway:)

What gives? I know a few things like entering the app etc. But what am I supposed to be looking for?

Apparently I’m able to upload custom avatars (tested via API) but the picker wouldn’t pick.

```plaintext
curl 'https://example.com/u/someuser/preferences/avatar/pick' \

```

throws a 404.

Should I delete the forum and restart again?
