Nico, that’s good news.

Obviously both you and I have tried the authentication using just localhost without ngrok before, but not with a vanilla WP install. So clearly there must be a conflict going on with either another WP plugin or another application that’s running. Have you tried adding back in the other plugins from your previous environment and seeing if any of them prevent the Eventbrite authentication?

I will do the same with my environment by sometime this weekend, but if you’re able to take a first pass at seeing if a plugin is conflicting that’d save me considerable pain.

Thanks for working on this!

Hey Nico,

Any updates? This is still an outstanding issue for me. Thanks for looking into it!

Hi Nico,

Actually, I just remembered that your team demonstrates getting Eventbrite authenticated with localhost in your video: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/configuring-eb-tickets/

I’ve – repeatedly – followed the exact same steps in that video and everything works up until the point where Eventbrite returns to WordPress. I’ve tried both my default localhost URLs and my ngrok custom URLs in the API settings with no success on either front. The thing is, in the return URL I’m seeing when I arrive back at the Eventbrite setting’s past after authenticating is this: /wordpress/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=tribe_events&page=tribe-events-calendar&tab=eventbrite&success=1. This is leading me to think the issue here is with the Eventbrite plugin itself. I don’t know all the ins and outs of how the authentication is working here, but it seems like Eventbrite is returning a success message but your plugin isn’t processing it properly somehow.

Can your team take another look at this? I really do need this to work on localhost. Even if I do authenticate on my live server, every time I want to do changes I’m going to have to jump through ridiculous hoops to make changes on the server, and then copy changes into my main codebase. My current feeling is there is a bug in your plugin and I’d really appreciate if your team can at least look into this further.

Thanks, Nico. Appreciate you giving it a shot. Sounds like you took a little different approach then I did but we both got stuck at the same place.

I’m not sure where to start on debugging this so I’ll probably just try to do the dev for EB on my live server. Not a great workflow but hey that’s how it goes sometimes. If I ever do get this working on localhost I’ll post back here on the forum.

Hi Nico,

Thanks for the reply. While it’d be possible for me to test on a live site – where I have little doubt it would work flawlessly – my goal here is to get this working in my local environment where I do all my development.

If you’re able to do further testing I would really appreciate it. Plus I think it would be really valuable for your other users who are likely coding on localhost and may be running into similar issues. Having a solid solution to point to would be a good resource for everyone.

Great solution to use psuedo-selectors, thanks. I’ve implemented this with no issue.
