Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to resolve them.

Connection Issues

  • Verify your Account ID, API Key, and Secret are entered correctly in the CareHQ tab.
  • Ensure your API key has the required permissions (Actions, Care enquiries, Groups, Locations).
  • Check that your CareHQ account is active.
  • Try switching between Development and Production environments.
  • Confirm your server can make outbound HTTPS requests.

Form Submissions Not Arriving

  • Check that all required fields are mapped (first_name, last_name, email, phone, message).
  • Make sure a CareHQ location is assigned to the form.
  • Check the Logs tab for error details.
  • Submit a test form with basic data to isolate the issue.

Plugin Errors

  • Confirm you’re running WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 8.0+.
  • Check for plugin conflicts by temporarily disabling other plugins.
  • Ensure your license key is valid and activated.
  • Try reinstalling the plugin.

Common Error Codes

cURL error 28 Request timed out Increase PHP timeout settings (see below)

Timeout Errors

If you see cURL error 28, increase your PHP timeout settings. Add these to your php.ini, .htaccess, or wp-config.php:

max_execution_time = 60
default_socket_timeout = 60

Upload Size Limits

If the plugin zip exceeds your upload limit, increase these PHP settings:

upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
memory_limit = 256M

Alternatively, upload the plugin via FTP to wp-content/plugins/ and activate it from the WordPress admin.
