If you're having trouble creating a shareable link for your activity, don't worry—your work isn't lost! This issue is almost always related to your device or browser settings rather than the Wordwall platform itself.
The Most Common Cause: Ad Blockers
The number one reason users cannot generate a link is having an Ad Blocker (like AdBlock, uBlock Origin, or a built-in browser blocker) enabled. These extensions often mistake the "Share" pop-up or the link-generation script for an unwanted advertisement.
How to fix it:
Look at your extensions in the top-right corner of your browser.
Disable or "whitelist" wordwall.net within your ad blocker settings.
Once the blocker is off, refresh the browser and open a new tab to try again.
Additional Troubleshooting
If you've disabled your ad blocker and still can't see the link, try these quick steps:
Open a New Tab: Sometimes a page "freezes" its settings. Opening the activity in a fresh tab after disabling your blocker often does the trick.
Try Incognito Mode: Open Wordwall in a Private or Incognito window. This runs the site without any extensions, which helps identify if another plugin is causing the conflict.
Check Network Restrictions: If you are on a school or work network, the local firewall might be blocking the sharing script. Try generating the link on your phone using mobile data to see if it works there.
💡 Pro-Tip: "Done" is Key
Make sure you have finished editing and clicked the Done button. You cannot generate a sharing link while the activity is still in the "Edit Content" screen.
