@f4w-git I can see that the setup is working fine and I would request you to double check if you aren't putting any extra spaces while adding the connection_id.

[f4w-git]

I am not putting any spaces in. I tried it again just now. It has to be with how I am installing then. The following is how the documentation says to install it. Is the following correct?

For standard WordPress installations, this command can be run from the wp-content/plugins sub-directory.

composer require symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7 auth0/wordpress:^5.0

[kishore7snehil]

@f4w-git Alternatively, you can try out downloading the plugin source code from this link and place it in your <application_name>/wp-content/plugins folder. But, I would strongly recommend to use composer to upgrade plugin versions.

Moreover, this is how an ideal database connection value should look. Please be cautious of the trailing spaces.

Then this has to be an install issue. 100% brand new clean wordpress install. I have used 3 different hosting solutions. Dreamhost and 2 local ubuntu installs.

Here are my install procedures for that plugin.

1. I use this link to download. https://github.com/auth0/wordpress/releases/tag/5.2.1
2. install the plugin using Wordpress backend. It will not activate until I run composer:
3. CLI in the wordpress/wp-content/wordpress-5.2.1 composer require symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7 auth0/wordpress:^5.0
4. I can then activate the plugin.
5. input all of the domain, id and secret.
6. Sync page put in my DB connection. no spaces. The error still occurs.

@f4w-git This can be then something to do with the $input['database'] data not passing correctly in the onUpdateSync

Can you put some debug points and check if the value of your connection passing correctly to the $response? If the value passed will be an empty string or null then you will face this issue.
