Dorik Troubleshooting

Problem: Editor Loading Slowly

Cause: Too many heavy images or elements on a single page.

Fix: Compress your images before uploading and split long pages into multiple pages.

Problem: Custom Domain Not Connecting

Cause: DNS records haven’t finished updating at your domain provider.

Fix: Double-check your CNAME records, then wait up to 48 hours for full DNS propagation.

Problem: Blog Posts Not Showing on Site

Cause: You forgot to add a blog listing page or the blog module to your site.

Fix: Go to your pages, add a new “Blog” page, and make sure the blog listing element is placed on it.
