Troubleshooting
Last updated: May 24, 2026
I can't activate my license
Common causes:
- Invalid license key — Copy-paste carefully, check for extra spaces
- Site limit reached — Personal plan allows 1 site only. Deactivate on another site first
- Expired license — Check your purchase date (licenses are annual)
- Server can’t connect — Your server must be able to reach the WPBuoy license server. Check if outbound connections are blocked by a firewall or security plugin
- Local development — License checks require a public domain. Use
WP_DEBUGmode for local testing
Security logs aren't showing any data (Pro)
Possible causes:
- No blocked requests yet — If no one has tried accessing a disabled endpoint, logs will be empty. This is normal
- Logging not enabled — Check Settings → Endpoint Manager and confirm security logging is turned on
- Logs auto-cleaned — Logs are deleted after 30 days by default
- Database table missing — If the plugin was installed by copying files directly to the server (instead of through the WordPress dashboard), the activation routine was skipped. Fix: deactivate and reactivate the plugin from the Plugins screen
Test it: Disable a test endpoint, then visit it in your browser. A log entry should appear.
