This error can appear on the Site Kit dashboard due to plugin conflicts or particular Content-Security-Policy (CSP) rules.

You will encounter this error if the following CSP directive has been set up for your site:

script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'

This directive will need to be removed to resolve this error. If using the Apache web server, CSP rules may be configured in your site’s `.htaccess file` and need to be changed there. For help reviewing and updating these rules, contact your hosting provider.

If your site is not setting this CSP directive, this error could also be caused by a third-party plugin. For help troubleshooting your plugins in this scenario, please follow our Using Troubleshooting Mode guide.

Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘clearPermissionScopeError’)

NOTE: This error may appear in Site Kit version v1.72.0 or below. Since v1.73.0 a different error message will appear in the same circumstances. See “An error occurred while running ‘mapSelect’: Cannot read properties of null (reading: ‘isAuthenticated’)”.

Data error in Search Console: User does not have sufficient permissions for this Search Console Property

This is a Search Console related error message. For more details, please see the related guide on the Search Console page.

Error: Your Google account does not have sufficient permissions for this Analytics account

This notice is related to Google Analytics. For more details, please see the related Google Anaytics Troubleshooting guide.

Error: Looks like your site is not allowed access to Google account data and can’t display stats in the dashboard

Your site is not allowed access to Google account data

In order for Site Kit to retrieve the relevant data required from your Google services and display it within the plugin dashboard, the plugin requires permissions that are granted during setup. 

This error can appear if those Site Kit permissions have been revoked for your site. The error can also appear if more than one WordPress administrator has set up the plugin and one administrator has revoked the permissions. If one administrator disconnects the associated Google account from Site Kit, other user(s) may encounter this notice. 

You may also see a  Missing_delegation_consent error message with the data error displayed above. 

To resolve this error, click on the Redo the plugin setup button to go through the setup process again and re-grant the necessary permissions.

Rather than granting permissions for specific Google services, administrators can use dashboard sharing to allow other users, including non-administrators, to access a view-only version of the Site Kit dashboard. By using the view-only version dashboard, users can view areas of the dashboard that an administrator wishes to share.

Error: Not found or permission denied.

The error as it appears within the Tag Manager settings screen

In Site Kit, the Google account that was used to set up the Tag Manager module determines which accounts and properties are available for tag placement and Site Kit dashboard data. The “Error: Not found or permission denied” error appears in Settings > Connected Services > Tag Manager when a user does not have access to these associated Tag Manager account and properties. It can also appear if the Site Kit-connected Google Tag Manager account was deleted.

To resolve this, reach out to the owner of the connected container and ask them to grant you access to the connected Tag Manager container

If no other administrator has previously connected the Tag Manager module within Site Kit but you are seeing this error, check your Google Tag Manager trash can for any deleted accounts. If you can determine that an account exists within the trash can that was previously connected via Site Kit, you can restore it to resolve the Site Kit error.

Alternatively, you can change th

Insufficient permissions in AdSense: Your Google account does not have sufficient permissions to access AdSense data, so you won’t be able to see stats from it on the Site Kit dashboard.

This notice refers to an AdSense permissions issue. For more details, please see the related guide on the AdSense page.

Insufficient permissions in Analytics: Your Google account does not have sufficient permissions to access Analytics data, so you won’t be able to see stats from it on the Site Kit dashboard

This notice refers to an Analytics permissions issue. For more details, please see the related guide on the Analytics page.

Insufficient permissions in Search Console

The error as it appears on the Site Kit dashboard, within the Search Traffic widget

This error message can appear in two different circumstances:

  • Your Search Console access was removed: Depending on the method you used to verify ownership of the Search Console property, you may no longer have access to the connected property. This can occur if another property owner removes your access or if the property itself was removed directly from Search Console.

    To resolve this, you can click on the Request access button to verify ownership manually, or reach out to another owner of the connected property, if known, to request that they grant your Google account access. Alternatively, you can disconnect your Google account from Site Kit and connect once more. 
  • The Google account associated with Site Kit was changed: If you set up Site Kit with one Google account and then connect any additional services with a different Google account, Site Kit will switch its associated account to the most recently used Google account by default. This newly connected Google account may not have access to the connected Search Console property, which results in this error.

    To resolve this, you can click on the Request access button to verify ownership manually, or reach out to another owner of the connected property, if known, to request  that they grant your Google account access. Alternatively, you can disconnect your Google account from Site Kit and connect once more, this time using the Google account that you’ve used to connect the most recently connected module.

Rather than granting permissions at Search Console level, administrators can use dashboard sharing to allow other users, including non-administrators, to access a view only version of the Site Kit dashboard. By using the view-only version of the dashboard, users can view Search Console data and other areas of the dashboard that an administrator wishes to share.

invalid ‘client_id’ or ‘client_secret’

The error message as it appears within the module widgets

This error can appear if the technical credentials (unrelated to your Google account credentials) that are used to recognize your site on the Site Kit service have become invalid. You may see this error in the Site Kit dashboard in the Search Console, Analytics, or AdSense widgets. 

With this error, you may also receive a message prompting you to redo the plugin setup. After doing so, you should no longer encounter this error. 

If you don’t see a prompt to redo the plugin setup, you can instead reset Site Kit. After resetting, you can attempt to set up Site Kit again. If you are still experiencing this issue after redoing setup and/or resetting, please create a post on our support forum for assistance.

It looks like the URL is not part of this site, therefore there is no data to display

It looks like the URL is not part of this site

This message can appear when trying to view Detailed Page Stats within Site Kit for a URL that does not follow the WordPress-specific URL structure. Such URLs can include ones that are:

  • Generated by a multi-language plugin like TranslatePress. These URLs often include a query parameter specific to the page’s language, i.e. www.example.com/de/my-page.
  • From plugins that use query vars for routing without registering them in WordPress
  • Modified by a plugin that alters homepage behavior, such as Thrive Architect

Because of the unique path and parameters of these URLs, Site Kit is not able to identify them appropriately as WordPress URLs and therefore cannot display Detailed Page Stats (which includes data from Search Console, Analytics, and PageSpeed Insights) within the Site Kit dashboard. However, this data could still be available to view for these URLs in your Google account dashboards for Analytics and Search Console.

Max_user_connections

This is a general WordPress error that can display within the Site Kit widgets on your WordPress dashboard or the admin bar if the database connection limit for that site is exceeded. Many plugins require connections being made to the WordPress database, which can contribute to this error. If you have a low limit set or use a higher than average amount of plugins that make these connections then this can lead to the limit being reached.

This error message can vary slightly depending on why it is occurring, but will generally look something like this:

User <database user> already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections

This error may be caused by your hosting provider’s defined maximum concurrent users, which may need to be increased. Contact your hosting provider for assistance. If you are using a VPS, you may be able to configure or change this yourself.

Permissions Error: Setup was interrupted because you did not grant the necessary permissions.

The error that appears if permissions were not granted

This notice appears if you don’t grant Site Kit the necessary permissions requested when setting up the plugin or when connecting an additional module. To resolve this, click on the Redo the plugin setup or the Grant Permissions button. This will guide you through the permissions screen once more. When requested, follow the steps to proceed by clicking Continue to allow Site Kit access to obtain permissions to connect with your Google account.

If you continue to encounter the above error after granting permissions, please create a post on our support forum for assistance.
