Issue Overview

Sometimes, your project may not open in the FlutterFlow editor. If you're experiencing trouble opening and editing one of your projects in FlutterFlow, you can try opening the project in Safe Mode to diagnose and resolve the issue.

Basic Troubleshooting Steps

Step 1: Open the Project in Safe Mode

To open your project in Safe Mode, append ?SAFE_MODE to the end of your project URL. For instance, if the project URL is https://app.flutterflow.io/project/xxxxxx, you would have to add '?SAFE_MODE', changing the URL to https://app/flutterflow.io/project/xxxxxx?SAFE_MODE.

Step 2: Identify and remove the problem widget(s)

Opening your project in Safe Mode should open the page that has the widget causing your project to not load normally.


To identify the page, you would have to delete the topmost Widget in the Widget tree.

Any changes made to the project may cause the project to not load again until the widget causing the problem is identified and removed.

Other Troubleshooting Steps

If opening the project in Safe Mode didn't work, try these other troubleshooting steps.

Step 1: Check your internet connection

Ensure that you have strong, reliable internet access when opening your project in FlutterFlow. A weak internet connection or connection drops can prevent the program from loading correctly. If you’re having difficulty accessing the internet, please contact your internet service provider for assistance.


Step 2: Clear your cache and cookies
