Troubleshooting

❌ I forgot my password. How do I reset it?

Click "Forgot Password?" on the login page. Enter your registered email address. You'll receive an email with a password reset link. Click the link and create a new password.

❌ My school subscription expired. What happens?

Your school data remains safe but access is restricted. Visit the subscription page to renew your plan. Once payment is confirmed, your account will be instantly reactivated.

❌ A teacher's grade entry isn't showing. What's wrong?

Ensure the teacher is assigned to that class for that subject. Check if the term is active. If the issue persists, ask the teacher to save again or contact support.

❌ Fees aren't appearing on the parent portal. Why?

Verify fees are assigned to the correct class and the student belongs to that class. Admin must publish fees for them to be visible to parents.

❌ I can't log in. What should I do?

Check that you're using the correct email and password. If you still can't log in, use "Forgot Password?" to reset. If the issue continues, contact support.
