If you’re having trouble with Plug, this guide is meant to address common errors you may see while attempting to load NFTs.

For issues with other topics, see:

Please work through this guide before reaching out to support, the first thing our support team will send you is this troubleshooting guide. If you still have issues after trying these steps, contact us.

Why are my NFTs not showing up?¶

There’s a few reasons why NFTs could be not showing up in your Plug account.

The NFT project is not supported by DAB.
DAB is down, unable to fetch the canister registry list for NFTs.
The project’s NFT Canister is down.
The Internet Computer Subnet is down.

To begin troubleshooting, we’ll need to figure out what the error message is by checking background controller logs. To do this, we’ll access the Plug extension Background Console.

How to access Plug’s Background Console?¶

Press the “Extensions” button in the top right corner of your browser. Click “Manage Extensions” Enable “Developer Mode” in the top right corner of the “Manage Extensions” page. Finally, open the console by clicking “background page” next to “Inspect Views” on the Plug extension modal.

How to get to Background Console

You have successfully opened Plug’s Background Console, please take note of the error and continue with the troubleshooting guide below.

NFT Project Not Supported Error: Not Supported by DAB¶

If there is no error message at all, it is possible the NFT is still not supported by DAB's NFT list. To solve the problem, reach out to the NFT project team members and ask if they have integrated their NFT project with DAB.

You may check the list of integrated DAB NFT projects here.

We’re always adding new projects & standards, reach out to us in Discord and request to get the project added to DAB.

DAB is Down Error - Error with Canister ID “aipdg-waaaa-aaaah-aaq5q-cai”¶

If you se an error message with the Canister ID below, it might mean that DAB is down and unable to fetch the Registry List for NFTs - “DAB Down Error”.

Reach out to the DAB team in our Discord, in the #dab, #plug or #support channel. There’s nothing that can be done from your end as a user to resolve this issue.

Stay up-to-date with us on our Twitter for maintenance updates @plug_wallet & @dab_ooo or alternatively, join our Discord where an announcement will be posted as soon as the issue is resolved.

NFT Collection Canister is Down or Out of Cycles¶

If there is an error with the NFT project’s Canister ID, it means the project’s NFT Canister is down.

To troubleshoot if the project’s NFT canister is down, follow the steps below:

Visit the NFT project’s GitHub, Website, Discord.
Reach out to one of their team members and find their Canister ID.
Compare their Canister ID to the errors in the Background Console error logs.
If you see the same Canister ID, it means the project’s NFT Canister is down.

There’s nothing that can be done directly from Plug to troubleshoot this issue, please contact the team of the asset/canister/NFT that isn’t loading for more information and wait for them to bring it back online.

502/503/504 Errors - Subnet is Down Error¶

If nothing is loading or showing, you may receive the “Subnet Down” error message, this means that the Internet Computer is currently having some trouble processing requests to the subnet due to a variety of factors such as high traffic, performance upgrades, user throttling, etc.

There’s nothing Plug can do to resolve this issue, please wait until the subnet is brought back online & stay up-to-date with Internet Computer.
