Troubleshooting: Common Issues & Solutions
Run into a snag? Find quick solutions for common issues related to login, custom domains, payments, and the editor.
We strive to make Postion as bug-free as possible, but sometimes things happen. Here are solutions to the most common issues our creators encounter.
🔑 Account & Login
I can't log in to my account.
- Check your email: Ensure you are using the exact email address you signed up with.
- Magic Link: Postion uses passwordless login (Magic Links) for security. Check your spam folder if you don't see the email within 2 minutes.
- Expired Link: Magic links expire after 15 minutes. If yours has expired, simply request a new one on the login page.
🌐 Custom Domains
My custom domain isn't working.
- Propagation Time: DNS changes can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate globally, though it usually happens within minutes.
- CNAME Record: Ensure you have added the correct CNAME record pointing to
cname.postion.app(or the specific target provided in your dashboard). - Remove A Records: If you are using a root domain (e.g.,
example.com), make sure you don't have conflicting "A Records" pointing to old servers. - Cloudflare Proxy: If you manage your DNS on Cloudflare, try turning OFF the orange "Proxy" cloud icon for the CNAME record during the initial verification.
💳 Payments & Stripe
I can't connect my Stripe account.
- Browser Extensions: Ad blockers or privacy extensions can sometimes interfere with the Stripe pop-up. Try disabling them or using Incognito/Private mode.
- Country Support: Ensure your country is supported by Stripe.
- Business Details: Stripe requires valid business or individual details. Ensure all fields in the Stripe onboarding form are filled out correctly.
A subscriber's payment failed.
- Retries: Stripe automatically retries failed payments (usually 3-4 times) over a few days.
- Card Issues: The most common cause is an expired card or insufficient funds on the subscriber's end. Postion automatically emails the subscriber prompting them to update their payment method.
✍️ Editor & Images
My images aren't uploading.
- File Size: The maximum file size for images is 5MB. Try compressing your image using a tool like TinyPNG.
- File Type: We support
.jpg,.png,.gif, and.webp. Other formats may not work. - Connection: A weak internet connection can cause uploads to time out.
The editor is acting strange / formatting is broken.
- Refresh: A simple page refresh often fixes temporary glitches. Your draft is auto-saved locally.
- Clear Cache: Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies.
