Troubleshooting: site not connected, or edits refused

What to do when your site stays on awaiting_site or unprovable, the connect token has expired, or an edit is refused.

The site stays on awaiting_site or shows Not connected

  • Wait a minute after activating the theme or plugin.
  • On the ArneIron page in wp-admin, use Retry once, then check the state again.

The connect token expired or was already used

The Connector says: No connect token available (already used or expired). Re-download the connector from your ArneIron account.

  1. Download your zip again from My Sites. The new zip carries a new token.
  2. Upload it over the old one (Replace current with uploaded) and activate it. Retry alone does not fix this.

The state is unprovable

Wait a minute and check once more. If it stays unprovable, email support@arneiron.net with your site address.

Write access is refused

MessageWhat to do
site_unreachableCheck that your site loads over HTTPS with a valid certificate.
not_https or app_passwords_unavailableThe site needs HTTPS and WordPress Application Passwords enabled.
auth_header_strippedYour host does not pass the Authorization header to PHP. Ask your host to pass it through (on Apache, a SetEnvIf Authorization line in .htaccess).
rest_disabledThe WordPress REST API at /wp-json/ is not reachable. If /?rest_route=/ works, your site uses plain or /index.php/ permalinks. Do not change your permalinks to work around this; contact support.
user_too_privilegedInstall the current zip from My Sites over the old one.
service_user_unavailableAnother plugin blocks creating the arneiron user. Contact support with the plugin list.

Edits are refused

  • Ask your AI app to call account_profile and check that the site shows connected and is the site you meant.
  • INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE: see Top up your wallet.
  • SITE_ALREADY_REGISTERED: the site belongs to another ArneIron account. Log in with that account, or contact support.
  • Report any other refusal to support exactly as it was shown. Do not retry in a loop.

The install itself is blocked

Two-factor prompts, captchas, a firewall challenge or disabled file changes can stop an automated install. Install the zip by hand in wp-admin as in Connect your WordPress site.

Still stuck?

Email support@arneiron.net with your account email, your site address and what you saw. What to include.
