Troubleshooting
I saved but cannot see changes
Check if you published or only saved a draft. If you published, wait five minutes and refresh the public website.
I cannot log in
Check your internet connection and account. If login still fails, contact the site maintainer.
Photo upload failed
Try again with a smaller JPG or PNG photo. Avoid very large video files.
Text looks wrong
Check the pasted text. For Malayalam, use a normal Malayalam keyboard or copy from a trusted document.
I made a mistake
Open the same section again, correct the content, and publish again. If something was deleted, contact the site maintainer.

- Names are spelled correctly.
- Dates and times are correct.
