  • View as Markdown Open this page as plain Markdown (opens in a new tab)

  • Open in Google AI Studio Ask questions about this page (Google account required) (opens in a new tab)

The community page shows “Page not found” #

  1. Go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes (you do not need to change anything). This refreshes your site’s links.
  2. Make sure permalinks are not set to Plain.
  3. Make sure no normal page or post uses the same address as your community slug.

Members are not getting emails #

  1. Check the event is ticked in TrueCommunity → Mail → Notification Emails.
  2. Many hosts block normal PHP mail. Install an SMTP plugin, such as WP Mail SMTP, and connect a real mail service.
  3. Ask the member to check their spam folder.

Uploads fail or files are “too large” #

The upload size is limited by TrueCommunity → General → Maximum Upload Size and by your server. If you need bigger files, ask your host to raise upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, then raise the setting in TrueCommunity.

A menu item is missing from the community #

That module is probably turned off. Check TrueCommunity → Modules. The Members page also needs the Stories module.

I don’t see the “Create Group” or “Add New Course” button #

Only site administrators see these buttons. Log in with an administrator account.

Old users don’t show in the member directory #

Go to TrueCommunity → Migrate Users and click Start Migration. See Migrate existing users.

TrueCommunity Pro won’t activate #

Pro needs the free TrueCommunity plugin. Install and activate the free plugin first, then activate Pro.

I can’t update TrueCommunity Pro #

Go to TrueCommunity → License and check the status. It must say Active. See Install Pro and activate your license for what each license message means.

Lessons are locked for a student #

The course probably moves in order, so earlier lessons and quizzes must be finished first. A lesson can also be locked by a drip date, a timer, a video, a file upload or attendance. With Pro, check the lesson’s Settings and the course’s How members move through this course option.

Gamification is not giving points #

  1. Check Gamification is on in TrueCommunity → Modules.
  2. Remember that activities on their own pay nothing. Points come from badges, challenges and lesson/topic completion points.
  3. Check the activity row is Active and its Applies to is correct.

Still stuck? #
