Fatal Error when connecting an account

Resolved

When connecting Mailchimp plugin to my mailchimp account, I enter my details in the popup window, I go back to the plugin settings page and get the message “Connection in progress”. This message never goes away, the AJAX request in the background failes with a PHP fatal error:

[24-Feb-2021 13:51:54 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /www/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/admin/class-mailchimp-woocommerce-admin.php:729
Stack trace:
#0 /www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(287): MailChimp_WooCommerce_Admin->mailchimp_woocommerce_ajax_oauth_finish('')
#1 /www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(311): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array)
#2 /www/wp-includes/plugin.php(484): WP_Hook->do_action(Array)

#4 {main}
  thrown in /www/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/admin/class-mailchimp-woocommerce-admin.php on line 729

I am running WP 5.6.1, WooCommerce 4.9.1 and MailChimp plugin 2.5.0

I have tried this process both with and without WooCommerce Admin plugin installed and active. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

I made a quick update to the plugin file mailchimp-for-woocommerce/admin/class-mailchimp-woocommerce-admin.php on line 729, I added detection for WP_Error so I could see what message was coming back from the remote call.
```
 $response = wp_remote_post( 'https://woocommerce.mailchimpapp.com/api/finish', $pload);
        if (!is_wp_error($response) && $response['response']['code'] == 200 ){
			delete_site_transient('mailchimp-woocommerce-oauth-secret');
            // save api_key? If yes, we can skip api key validation for validatePostApiKey();
            wp_send_json_success($response);
        }
        else wp_send_json_error( $response );
```
I get back the following response now in the AJAX, not sure if this is helpful towards diagnosing the issue?

{"success":false,"data":[{"code":"http_request_failed","message":"Too many redirects"}]}

@danrwalker we haven’t been able to replicate this exact issue – and my first question would be “are you using a shared hosting provider?” This can be a sign of Mailchimp’s API gateway blocking the request from your server. If you’re on a shared host, or if you could simply try this override setting – this test and this change may resolve that error altogether. Can we start with that?
