The visitor details form does not appear

Site Mascot 2.3 and later Updated October 14, 2026

If you switched on visitor details but visitors see only the chat, or the message “Sorry, I can’t search right now”, the page they received is usually an old cached copy that does not carry the form’s settings.

  1. Update to Site Mascot 2.3.1 or later. From that version, the chat fetches the current form the first time a visitor asks a question, and keeps what they typed.
  2. Clear your page cache and script cache once (LiteSpeed, WP Rocket, Cloudflare or similar).
  3. Check that Visitors must fill in this form before they can use the chat is ticked and saved.
  4. Test in a private window.

A visitor running a very old cached script is asked to refresh the page.
