This article provides step-by-step instructions to troubleshoot a Site Permission Error in Elementor AI Planner when the website is already approved and connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some users have encountered a Site Permission Error when trying to access websites generated by Elementor’s AI Site Planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before You Begin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ensure that you have access to the WordPress dashboard and are logged in with an Administrator account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Approve the popup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You must give site planner permission to make changes to your site. This is done via a popup window. If you have a popup blocker, make sure you give permission for display of this popup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temporarily Deactivate All Plugins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Third-party plugins can sometimes interfere with AI Planner and cause permission errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Deactivate all active plugins.
    To learn how to deactivate plugins, see Activate and deactivate plugins<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Run Site Planner again to see if this resolves the issue.
    If this resolves the issue, reactivate the plugins one at a time to identify any conflicts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Confirm Permalink Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Proper WordPress rewrite rules are required for AI Planner to function correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. From WP Admin, navigate to Settings>Permalinks<\/strong>.
      \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Ensure the permalink structure is not set to Plain<\/strong>.
      \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. If it is set to Plain<\/strong>, switch to another option, such as Post name<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Click Save Changes<\/strong> to refresh rewrite rules.
      \"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Verify the Default Kit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      AI Planner depends on Elementor\u2019s Default Kit. A missing or corrupted kit may trigger permission errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. From WP Admin, navigate to Elementor>Editor>Templates<\/strong>.
        \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Check if a Default Kit exists.
        \"\"
        If no Default Kit is available, you need to clear the files and data. For details, see         Clear Files and Data<\/a>.
        This should recreate the default kit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Check Server Files and Regenerate .htaccess<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Server-level files can override WordPress routing and block AI Planner access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Access the site\u2019s file system via:\n
            \n
          • A trusted third-party file manager plugin, or<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Your hosting provider\u2019s file manager.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Open the site\u2019s root directory<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Look for a file named default.html<\/strong> and\/or .htaccess<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • If found, remove or rename it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Regenerate the .htaccess file by navigating going to WP Admin and navigating to Settings>Permalinks<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Click Save Changes<\/strong>.
              This restores default WordPress rewrite rules and resolves potential routing conflicts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Confirm permissions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Confirm that \/wp-json\/elementor\/v1\/checklist\/user-progress<\/strong> is allowed by your server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Confirm site status<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Confirm that your website is live and not in Coming Soon<\/strong> or Maintenance<\/strong> mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
