Troubleshooting

CitadelaWP plugins and layouts are downloaded in a ZIP file from our server. This can be blocked by some hosting providers, causing the plugin installation or layout import to fail. There can also be other blocking limits, such as maximum file size or execution time, that can also cause the error.

Every hosting error is stored on the server for troubleshooting. Please check the following documentation on Where to find PHP error logs.

Your hosting provider will be able to assist you by enabling the missing library or removing the limit. Please do not hesitate to contact your hosting support if you encounter issues with the plugin installation or CitadelaWP Layout import. Please check the CitadelaWP hosting requirements.

What more, PHP Warnings and Notices can be generated by WordPress plugins immediately after installation. Please refer to the following documentation on how to turn off PHP Warnings and Notices.
