Troubleshooting: When Things Go South (and How to Fix Them)

Even the smoothest operations can hit a snag. If you’re experiencing issues, don’t worry! Let’s tackle some common hurdles.

First, double-check your connection to the core donation plugin. Is the integration active and correctly configured within the settings panel? A deactivated or improperly configured connection is a frequent culprit. Re-enter your credentials to ensure accuracy.

Next, review your donation forms. Are all required fields present and functioning? Inconsistencies here can prevent successful transactions. Test submissions with different browsers and devices.

If you’re seeing unexpected behavior with donation amounts, verify your currency settings. Ensure the correct currency is selected and that the formatting aligns with your region’s standards.

Experiencing conflicts? Temporarily disable other plugins to isolate the problem. Reactivate them one by one to identify the source of the conflict.
