Plugin not connecting?

Make sure your API key is correct and that your WordPress site can make outbound HTTPS connections. Check with your hosting provider if you're behind a firewall.

Articles not publishing?

Verify that the WordPress user associated with the plugin has permission to publish posts. Check Settings > Ranklite > Logs for detailed error messages.

Images not appearing?

Ensure your WordPress media library has sufficient storage space and that the uploads directory is writable. Check your PHP upload_max_filesize setting.
