Troubleshooting and FAQ
Diagnose installation, saving, editor, marketplace, AI, translation, sharing, MCP, and page problems.
Diagnose PageDesigner installation, saving, editor, marketplace, AI, translation, sharing, MCP, and public-page problems.
Start with the smallest relevant section. Preserve a draft, backup, or previous value before destructive troubleshooting.
Save, Preview, and publish
I saved. Is the page public?
Only if Published is on in the page record. Save stores the editor project; publication controls visitor access.
I published. Why is it missing from navigation?
Turn on Show in Navigation, set Navigation Order, and save. Publishing and menu placement are separate.
How can I make a large change without affecting visitors?
Duplicate the page or unpublish it, make the changes, use full Preview, obtain approval, and publish.
Preview differs from the canvas
Trust full Preview and the public route for final verification. The canvas is an editing environment and may not perfectly reproduce the active theme, external assets, or public interaction runtime.
Save failed
- Keep the editor open.
- Check authentication/session expiry.
- Check the browser network response.
- Check Paymenter logs and database connectivity.
- Confirm the page still exists and the account can update it.
- Retry only after the cause is understood.
Selection and editor behavior
I cannot select anything
The interactive read-only canvas is probably active. Select the pointer control again.
I keep selecting the wrong layer
Open Layers, expand the section, and choose the smallest target.
A section disappeared
Search Layers. Use Undo immediately after an accidental deletion. If an AI action removed it, inspect Canvas changes and Revert.
The editor feels stale
Save, then use the safe refresh control. Do not reload the browser while save status is Saving or Failed.
Images, links, and interactive parts
An image is missing
- Verify the full public URL.
- Open it signed-out.
- Confirm HTTPS and certificate validity.
- Confirm hotlinking is allowed.
- Check mixed-content blocking.
- Check the image was not moved or deleted.
A button does nothing
Select the parent link/button in Layers, verify Link URL, then test full Preview. Imported components often retain installation-specific destinations.
An accordion/tab works on the canvas but not publicly
Test full Preview, verify the active theme's optional FlyonUI integration when required, rebuild theme assets, and clear the appropriate caches.
Model Marketplace
Marketplace is empty
- Clear search.
- Select All models.
- Refresh.
- Check whether PageDesigner reports Hosted or local cache.
- Confirm hosted view permission, active license, application URL, outbound HTTPS, and public IP configuration.
Download fails
Confirm hosted download permission. Review the diagnostic response for license, network, signature, hash, or missing-table errors. Do not bypass payload verification.
A cached model is outdated on an existing page
Updating the reusable cache intentionally does not rewrite placed content. Add the refreshed model to a draft and migrate the content deliberately.
Sharing and Page Marketplace
A share link cannot be imported
Confirm the complete link/UID, package visibility, entitlement, permissions, and Hosted connectivity.
Is an imported page live?
No. Imports and marketplace downloads create unpublished drafts.
Public page package is not discoverable
Confirm it was shared with Public visibility and refresh Page Marketplace.
AI Agent
AI panel is missing
Confirm:
- update access to the page;
- AI permission;
- AI entitlement;
- AI-runs migration;
- configured provider path.
AI remains Queued
Check the Laravel queue worker, failed jobs, worker restarts after deployment, and application logs. Do not submit the same request repeatedly.
Provider returns no tools or stops early
The direct provider/model must support the chat-completions/tool-calling behavior required by the agent. Verify endpoint compatibility and exact model ID.
Agent changed too much
Open Canvas changes and revert the first unwanted change, understanding that dependent later changes also revert. Use Revert all for the AI session baseline. Review and save.
New chat did not undo the page
New chat clears/cancels conversation context. It deliberately leaves the canvas unchanged.
Can I trust AI prices or policies?
No. The agent is instructed to use storefront data, but a human must still verify every plan, interval, price, legal statement, and claim.
Translations
Locale viewer changed the canvas but not the public site
Expected. It is an editor review control. The visitor's Paymenter locale controls public rendering.
A locale is blank
Open the Text modal, check the translation binding and value, then verify the fallback locale. Do not delete or recreate keys without understanding existing bindings.
Translation is cut off on mobile
Shorten or adapt the translation, adjust the responsive component, and review the actual locale in full Preview.
Licensing
Management is blocked but published pages work
Expected when the license decision blocks management. Published page HTML/CSS remains local. Correct the entitlement, binding, network, or offline-grace issue.
Install mismatch after server migration
Verify application URL and public egress IP. Release the old install slot or ask the license provider to move it.
Hosted outage
A previously verified signed grant may allow management only through its offline-grace deadline. Downloaded/placed content remains local.
MCP
Token is lost
It cannot be displayed again. Revoke the old token and generate a replacement.
401
Check the token, Bearer header, revocation state, and proxy preservation of the Authorization header.
403
Check MCP entitlement and license state.
Client cannot connect
Confirm Streamable HTTP support, endpoint URL, TLS, protocol 2025-03-26, and proxy handling. Use the generated stdio bridge only when native HTTP is unavailable.
Revoke did not delete agent changes
Revocation stops future access. It does not roll back completed page operations. Restore content through normal page editing or backup recovery.
Installation and upgrade
Page Designer does not appear
Confirm ZIP structure, enable state, install/upgrade lifecycle, migrations, and application logs.
Missing ext_page_designer_* table
Re-run the extension lifecycle. Do not create or alter the table by hand.
Upgrade introduced a problem
Stop destructive work, preserve logs, and use the matching database backup and prior ZIP for rollback. Do not combine a new schema with an old extension arbitrarily.
When to ask for specialist help
Escalate when the task involves:
- Custom Code.
- Hand-written uploaded components.
- Theme build integration.
- Queue/database/server failures.
- License binding or migration.
- Public marketplace distribution.
- MCP tokens or external clients.
- Checkout, authentication, customer data, or payment behavior.
Reporting a useful problem
Include:
- PageDesigner version.
- Paymenter and PHP versions.
- Page ID and whether it is draft/published.
- Exact action and time.
- Browser and operating system.
- Sanitized error message.
- Relevant application log excerpt.
- Screenshot with secrets and customer data removed.
- Whether the issue occurs in canvas, full Preview, or public route.
Never include a license key, provider API key, MCP token, Authorization header, customer record, or private share link.
