Yeah, this problem is definitely not a cURL issue. You will get a notice after activating the plugin if you don’t have cURL installed.
Anyway, this error indicates a failure with the JSON request when validating the API key field. This validation check will not stop you from saving your API key. Your entered API key could still work. Have you tried saving your settings anyway? If you enter [challonge] into a post or page, does it successfully load a listing of your tournaments?
If it works, great!
Either way, I still would like to get that validation error fixed. It could be caused by another plugin you have installed. It would help me if you could let me know which plugins you have installed and activated.
Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
Hi thank you for your answer.
I get “No API Key! Set one.” on [challonge] page.
Firebug shows this response on admin page , when I’m entering the key

WP-ServerInfo
I tested with most of the plugins (the free ones) you listed and everything seems to work. Seeing that it is a 500 error in the response, this could be fatal error that occurred but PHP’s display_errors setting is off.
You have the WP-ServerInfo plugin, so you can check what display_errors is set to in the PHP information.
If it is off, try adding the following line to challonge.php just above the require_once statement in the last several lines of the file:
ini_set('display_errors', true);
Now try the AJAX request again. If you see errors in the response body, let me know what they are, especially if they are from Challonge. (No need to include the HTTP headers this time.)
Let me know what you find out and we’ll work from there. 🙂
