Troubleshooting & Support ​

This guide provides actionable solutions for common issues within the Waravel ecosystem. If you encounter a problem not listed here, please consult the System Logs for more detailed error messages.


1. AI & Content Generation ​

"API Key Not Configured" (Page Generator) ​

This occurs when you attempt to generate content before adding your Claude (Anthropic) or GPT (OpenAI) credentials.

  • Fix: Navigate to Page Generator > Settings and ensure your API key is correctly entered and saved.

"Generation Timeout" or "Hanging Job" ​

Long generation jobs (e.g., 50+ pages) may occasionally time out if your server's background scheduler is slow.

  • Fix: Check the Scheduler Heartbeat in the Maintenance Center. Ensure your cron jobs are active. You can also "Restart" the job from the Generation History dashboard.

2. Migrations & Imports ​

"Import Paused for Memory" (WordPress Importer) ​

The importer has detected that your server is running low on RAM and has paused to prevent a crash.

  • Fix: This is an automated safety feature. Simply wait for the countdown timer to finish; the importer will automatically resume once the server has "cooled down."

"Failed to Fetch Totals" ​

Waravel cannot connect to your source WordPress site.

  • Fix: Ensure your source site is public and not blocked by a firewall or "Coming Soon" page. Also, verify that the WordPress REST API is enabled on the source site.

3. SEO & Connectivity ​

"Redirect Loop Detected" (Redirect Manager) ​

You have created a redirect that points back to itself (e.g., Page A -> Page B -> Page A).

  • Fix: The Redirect Manager includes loop protection and will usually block these, but if a loop occurs, navigate to the Redirect Dashboard and delete the conflicting rule.

DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED (Page Promoter) ​

A common Google Ads API error.

  • Fix: Ensure your Google Ads Developer Token is approved for "Basic Access" or "Standard Access." If you are using a new token, it may only work with Google Ads Test Accounts until fully approved.

4. Updates & Infrastructure ​

"HTTP 500 Error" After an Update ​

  • Fix: Use the Rollback feature in Marketplace > Registry Activity. If you cannot access the dashboard, you can manually restore the backup .zip file located in the storage/backups directory.

"CSS Changes Not Showing" ​

Your custom theme skins are compiled and cached for speed.

  • Fix: Navigate to the Maintenance Center and click "Clear View Cache" and "Optimize Clear." This forces Waravel to re-render your design settings.
