Troubleshooting Common Issues
Fix missing buttons, stale counts, database issues, and cache conflicts.
Button not showing
- Confirm Automatic Display is enabled for the content type.
- On Posts, check Show Buttons On and Post Types. With Singular enabled, only the selected post types get the button (default: Posts). Pages need page added under Post Types.
- Check Hide Automatic Display On (home, archives, search, etc.).
- Check Disable assets on page types under General settings.
- Clear your page cache and CDN cache.
Using Display Automation [pro]? Turn Automatic Display off for that type to avoid conflicts, and remember Singular Pages only matches the main queried item — not related-post loops.
Counts not updating
- Enable Site uses caching in General settings if you use LiteSpeed, WP Rocket, or similar.
- Run Sync counters from Tools → Maintenance (Pro).
- Check for JavaScript errors in the browser console.
- If you recently finished a Pulse upgrade, purge full-page cache and confirm Tools → Site Health shows storage healthy.
Database & storage health
- Open WP ULike → Overview and review the database / storage cards. Use Repair tables if tables are missing.
- Open Tools → Site Health → Status for WP ULike checks: database tables, storage & migration, old log tables.
- Existing sites migrating to Pulse: follow Storage Upgrade. CLI: Pulse WP-CLI.
License issues (Pro)
See License troubleshooting for expired, invalid, site-limit, connection, and 403 errors.
Still seeing Go Pro or locked templates after purchase? Follow the checklist in Activate Your License. Pro templates stay locked until the license is active.
Still stuck?
- Open WP ULike Pro → Tools → Debug Info (or free Help) and copy diagnostics.
- Include Tools → Site Health → Info → WP ULike when reporting storage issues.
- Contact support with your WP ULike version, Pro version (if any), and storage mode from Site Health.
