WordPress Connection Test Failed in Pravision

Last updated

If your WordPress website is connected to Pravision but the connection test fails, the Pravision Console may be unable to communicate with your website.

This can happen because of an incorrect API key, an inactive plugin, website availability issues, or hosting security restrictions.

This guide explains how to identify and resolve common connection problems.

Common Symptoms

You may experience one or more of the following:

  • The Test button reports a failed connection.

  • Pravision cannot communicate with your WordPress website.

  • Website information cannot be retrieved.

  • Previously working website management features become unavailable.

Possible Causes

1. Pravision Connector Is Not Active

The Pravision Connector must be installed and activated on your WordPress website.

Solution:

  1. Sign in to your WordPress administrator dashboard.

  2. Navigate to Plugins → Installed Plugins.

  3. Locate Pravision Connector.

  4. Confirm that the plugin is active.

  5. If inactive, click Activate.

Return to Pravision and retry the connection test.

2. Incorrect or Missing API Key

Pravision uses a unique API key to authenticate your WordPress website connection.

An incorrect or missing API key can prevent successful communication.

Solution:

  1. Sign in to the Pravision Console.

  2. Navigate to Admin → Integrations → WordPress.

  3. Locate the connection associated with your website.

  4. Verify the API key associated with the connection.

  5. Open Pravision in your WordPress dashboard.

  6. Confirm that the correct API key is configured and saved.

Security reminder: Never share your API key publicly or include it in screenshots.

3. Incorrect Website URL

The website URL registered in Pravision must correspond to the WordPress website where the connector is installed.

Solution:

Verify that the website URL is correct, including:

  • The domain name.

  • HTTPS configuration.

  • Any www or non-www differences.

  • The correct WordPress installation address.

For example, https://example.com and https://www.example.com may use different redirect configurations.

If the registered website URL is incorrect, contact your Pravision administrator or support team for assistance correcting the connection.

4. WordPress Website Is Unavailable

Pravision cannot successfully test a connection when the WordPress website is offline or inaccessible.

Solution:

  1. Open your WordPress website in a browser.

  2. Confirm that the website loads normally.

  3. Check for HTTP 500, 502, or 503 errors.

  4. If the website is unavailable, contact your hosting provider.

  5. Once the website is operational, retry the connection test.

5. Firewall or Security Restrictions

Some WordPress security plugins, hosting firewalls, or web application firewalls may block communication between Pravision and your website.

Solution:

  • Review recent security plugin alerts.

  • Check hosting firewall logs for blocked requests.

  • Ask your hosting provider whether legitimate Pravision Connector requests are being blocked.

  • Contact Pravision Support if you need help identifying the affected requests.

Important: Do not disable your website firewall or security protections permanently to resolve a connection issue.

6. SSL or HTTPS Configuration Problems

An expired SSL certificate or incorrect HTTPS configuration may interfere with secure communication.

Solution:

  1. Open your website using HTTPS.

  2. Check whether the browser displays certificate warnings.

  3. Confirm that your SSL certificate is valid.

  4. Contact your hosting provider if certificate or redirect issues are detected.

Once resolved, retry the connection test.

How to Verify the Connection

After correcting the issue:

  1. Open Pravision WordPress Sites.

  2. Select your connected website.

  3. Click Test.

  4. Confirm that the connection test succeeds.

  5. Click Fetch Data to retrieve your website information.

A successful connection test confirms that Pravision can communicate with the connector.
