Troubleshooting
Updated Oct 26, 2026
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| The site does not look like the demo | Make sure both the theme and the SkillForge Core plugin are active, then run Appearance → One Click Demo Import. |
| One Click Demo Import is missing | Activate the SkillForge Core plugin: click Install & activate SkillForge Core in the dashboard notice, or upload the plugin .zip from the theme's plugins folder. |
| Emails do not arrive | Many hosts do not deliver WordPress's own emails. Install an SMTP plugin (for example WP Mail SMTP, free) and connect it to your email provider, then use Send test email on the Enquiries screen. |
| Checkout shows "demo" or charges nothing | Add your Stripe keys under Settings → Payments. |
| A learner can't open a course | Make sure their payment went through (My account → Orders) and they are signed in with the same account. |
| The import could not install a plugin | Your server may block outgoing connections. Install Elementor from Plugins → Add New, then import again. |
A page shows text like [something] |
That is a shortcode. Activate the SkillForge Core plugin. |
| Fonts look different after editing | In Elementor, check the element's Style → Typography, or the site-wide Global Fonts. |
