Troubleshooting

The extension does not appear after installation
Check the installer message and the component/plugin status, then clear Joomla or WordPress caches.
An action is denied
Review the user group permissions, session token and any security restrictions.
The output does not match the site
Test with caching disabled, inspect template overrides and look for CSS or JavaScript conflicts.
An external integration fails
Check the URL, credentials, quotas and logs without copying secrets into a support request.

Updating and uninstalling

Before updating, back up files and the database, read the release notes, and test on a copy of the site. Export useful data before uninstalling. Removing a package may remove several related components, modules or plugins.
