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
| Error | Cause | Fix |

| 403 Forbidden | Missing API permissions | Update API key permissions in CareHQ |

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.
