How to Troubleshoot Common Errors When Saving, Editing, or Opening Designs on MustHaveMenus
General Troubleshooting for Access Issues
If you're experiencing errors when trying to save, open, or edit your designs, the following steps can help resolve most issues:
1. Verify Your Device Compatibility
For the best experience, use a desktop or laptop computer. The MustHaveMenus editor is not fully optimized for mobile devices, and attempting to make edits or save changes on mobile may result in errors.
2. Disable Browser Extensions
Check your web browser for ad blockers, image blockers, or other extensions, which can interfere with the design editor. Disable these temporarily.
3. Check Security Software and Internet Settings
Security software or parental controls may block MustHaveMenus. Ensure the site is allowed and that you're connected to a stable and fast internet connection.
4. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies
Occasionally, browser cache or cookies might cause operational issues. Clear them to see if the problem persists.
5. Log Into Your Account
Always log into your MustHaveMenus account before editing designs. Attempting to edit designs without logging in may prevent you from saving them.
Editing and Design-Specific Challenges
Layering Issues
If you cannot edit certain elements in your copied menu design, the problem might be due to the graphic layers.
Select the text box or graphic that needs adjustment.
Open the Position Tool in the toolbar.
Adjust layering with options such as:
"Bring Forward" or "Bring To Front"
"Send Backward" or "Send To Back" Layer elements appropriately to access and edit the desired sections. This process allows you to work with backgrounds, graphics, and text layers efficiently.
Session Timeouts and Saving Best Practices
Avoiding Session-Related Saving Issues
If you leave your design open for several days without logging in, your session may expire, causing saving failures. To prevent this:
Log out and log back into your account weekly.
Close and reopen the MustHaveMenus site when returning to your designs.
Exit designs when not actively editing.
Recommendations for Optimal Use
Desktop or Laptop: Always use these devices for design creation and editing.
Browser Settings: Keep your browser updated and reduce interference from extensions.
