  • Upload errors: Ensure your image is under 5MB and in a supported format (JPG, PNG).
  • Login issues: Try clearing cookies or using a private/incognito browsing window.
  • Duplicate events: If you notice duplicate events being created, simply delete the extra one for now. This is a known issue that will be fixed in a future update.
