Troubleshooting

Sitemap returns a 404#

Go to Settings → Permalinks in wp-admin and click Save Changes, even without changing anything — this flushes WordPress's rewrite rules and registers Seofyme's sitemap routes. This is the single most common setup issue.

Editor panel or checklist doesn't appear#

• Confirm Seofyme SEO is activated under Plugins, not just installed.
• Deactivate other SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, etc.) — running two at once causes meta box conflicts.
• Clear any page/object caching plugin, which can serve a stale admin screen.

Frontend tags don't match what the editor shows#

Use the Frontend inspector to see what actually rendered. A caching layer, CDN, or theme template outputting its own meta tags is the most common cause of a mismatch.

Seofyme Cloud won't connect#

• Re-check that both the public and secret key from API keys were pasted correctly, with no extra whitespace.
• Confirm your account has an active Cloud plan — a Free-tier account can generate keys but hosted AI/audits will still be blocked.
• If you regenerated your keys, the previous pair is deactivated immediately — update every connected site with the new pair.

Hosted AI drafting or audits are blocked#

This almost always means your monthly quota is used up. Check remaining generations and audits on your account page; the meter resets at the start of your next billing cycle, or you can upgrade — see Plans & limits.
