Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to resolve them.

AI Not Responding

If characters are not responding to messages:

  1. Check your API key is correct in Settings
  2. Click Test Connection to verify the API works
  3. Check your API provider account for rate limits or billing issues
  4. Try a different AI model

Pages Not Loading

If MadBot pages show errors or blank screens:

  1. Go to Settings then Permalinks and click Save (flushes rewrite rules)
  2. Check for plugin conflicts by disabling other plugins temporarily
  3. Verify PHP version is 8.0 or higher
  4. Check server error logs for specific errors

License Issues

If your license will not activate:

  • Verify the license key is copied correctly (no extra spaces)
  • Check you have not exceeded your site limit
  • Deactivate on old sites before activating on new ones
  • Contact support if problems persist

Slow Performance

To improve performance:

  • Enable caching (WP Super Cache or similar)
  • Use a CDN for static assets
  • Choose a faster AI provider (Groq is very fast)
  • Reduce Max Tokens if responses are too long
