NeuronWriter Troubleshooting

Problem: Content Score Not Updating

Cause: The editor may need a manual refresh to recalculate your score.

Fix: Click the refresh icon next to the score. If it still doesn’t update, save your work, close the query, and reopen it.

Problem: AI Credits Running Out Too Fast

Cause: Advanced AI models use more credits per generation than standard ones.

Fix: Switch to a lighter AI model for simple tasks. Or buy extra credits from your account settings.

Problem: WordPress Integration Not Working

Cause: The Chrome extension may be outdated or your site isn’t connected properly.

Fix: Update the Chrome extension. Reconnect your WordPress site in NeuronWriter’s settings under Integrations.

📌 Note: If none of these fix your issue, contact NeuronWriter support via the in-app chat.
