IGNY8 WordPress Bridge - Fixes Applied

✅ Issues Fixed

1. Security Check Failed (Nonce Verification) ✅

Problem: Form submission failed with "Security check failed. Please refresh the page and try again."

Root Cause: Nested form elements - The "Revoke API Key" button had a <form> tag nested inside the main connection form, which is invalid HTML and broke nonce submission.

Fix: Moved the "Revoke API Key" form outside the main connection form in admin/settings.php.

Result: ✅ Connection form now submits properly with valid nonce.

---

2. API Key Not Displaying After Reload ✅

Problem: API key field showed empty after successfully connecting and reloading the page.

Root Cause: The form was storing the placeholder asterisks (********) as the actual API key value when resubmitting.

Fix: Updated handle_connection() in admin/class-admin.php to detect placeholder values and preserve the stored API key.

Result: ✅ API key now properly displays as ******** when stored in the database.

3. Test Connection 405 Error 🔧 IMPROVED + NEEDS SaaS TEAM

Problem: Test Connection button returns HTTP 405 (Method Not Allowed) error.

Root Cause: The API endpoint being tested (/planner/keywords/?page_size=1) either:

• Doesn't exist yet
• Doesn't support GET method
• API key doesn't have permission to access it

Fixes Applied:

1. ✅ Added comprehensive debug logging to class-igny8-api.php
2. ✅ Test connection now tries 3 different endpoints as fallback
3. ✅ Improved error messages to show HTTP status codes
4. ✅ Added browser console logging for detailed debugging

What's Still Needed (SaaS Team):

1. ⚠️ Implement /system/ping/ endpoint (should return {"success": true, "data": {"status": "ok"}})
2. ⚠️ Verify the API key has permission to access at least one endpoint
3. ⚠️ Check if endpoints require POST instead of GET
4. ⚠️ Review server logs to see what's blocking the requests

🧪 Testing Instructions

Step 1: Clear Browser Cache

1. Open DevTools (F12)
2. Right-click the Refresh button → "Empty Cache and Hard Reload"

Step 2: Test Connection Form

1. Go to WordPress Admin → Settings → IGNY8 API
2. Fill in your credentials:
   • Email: dev@igny8.com
   • API Key: [your-api-key]
   • Password: [your-password]
3. Click "Connect to IGNY8"
4. ✅ Should show: "Successfully connected to IGNY8 API and stored API key."
5. Reload the page
6. ✅ Verify API key field shows: ********

Step 3: Enable Debug Mode (IMPORTANT!)

Add to wp-config.php (before /* That's all, stop editing! */):

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
define('IGNY8_DEBUG', true);

Step 4: Test Connection

1. Scroll to "Connection Status" section
2. Click "Test Connection" button
3. Check the result message
4. Open wp-content/debug.log and look for:

   IGNY8 DEBUG GET: https://api.igny8.com/api/v1/system/ping/
   IGNY8 DEBUG RESPONSE: Status=405 | Body={...}
   

Step 5: Check Browser Console

1. Open DevTools (F12) → Console tab
2. Click "Test Connection" again
3. Look for IGNY8 Connection Test Failed: error with full details

🔍 Expected Test Results

If /system/ping/ endpoint exists and works:

✅ Success: "Connection successful (tested: System ping endpoint)"

If endpoint returns 405:

⚠️ Error: "Connection failed: HTTP 405 error (HTTP 405)"

• This means the endpoint doesn't support GET method or doesn't exist

If endpoint returns 401:

⚠️ Error: "Connection failed: Unauthorized (HTTP 401)"

• This means the API key is invalid or doesn't have permission

If endpoint returns 404:

⚠️ Error: "Connection failed: HTTP 404 error (HTTP 404)"

• This means the endpoint doesn't exist yet

📧 Share Debug Info with SaaS Team

After testing with debug mode enabled, share:

1. Full error message from Test Connection button
2. Debug log entries from wp-content/debug.log (search for "IGNY8 DEBUG")
3. Browser console errors from DevTools
4. Your API key (first 8 characters only, for verification)

Example Debug Log to Share:

[21-Nov-2025 12:34:56 UTC] IGNY8 DEBUG GET: https://api.igny8.com/api/v1/system/ping/ | Headers: {"Authorization":"Bearer ***","Content-Type":"application\/json"}
[21-Nov-2025 12:34:56 UTC] IGNY8 DEBUG RESPONSE: Status=405 | Body={"detail":"Method \"GET\" not allowed."}

For You (WordPress Admin):

1. ✅ Test the connection form with your credentials
2. ✅ Enable debug mode in wp-config.php
3. ✅ Click Test Connection and capture the error
4. ✅ Share debug logs with the SaaS team

1. ⚠️ Review the debug logs you provide
2. ⚠️ Implement or verify these endpoints accept GET:
   • /system/ping/
   • /planner/keywords/?page_size=1
   • /system/sites/
3. ⚠️ Verify API key permissions
4. ⚠️ Check server access logs for the WordPress host IP
