## FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
Why does it need permission for all websites?
|
||||
### Why does ProToots need permission for all websites?
|
||||
|
||||
> The addon needs to determine whether or not the site you are currently browsing is a Mastodon server. For that to work, it requires access to all sites. Otherwise, each existing Mastodon server would have to be explicitly added.
|
||||
|
||||
## setup
|
||||
### Why can't i see any ProPlates?
|
||||
|
||||
- install web-ext with `npm install --global web-ext`
|
||||
- optionally:
|
||||
- run `web-ext run --firefox-profile='$ProfileNameOfYourChoosing' --profile-create-if-mising`
|
||||
- open that profile in firefox, log into fedi
|
||||
- after that when you run `web-ext run -p='$ProfileNameOfYourChoosing'` you should be logged into your fedi account
|
||||
- run the extension with `web-ext run -u -u="yourinstancehere"`
|
||||
> It is likely your instance is not supported. This is because forks of Mastodon all work slightly differently and we cannot account for every version out there.
|
||||
> If ProToots isn't working on your instance please tell your admins to contact us here on Github.
|
||||
|
||||
### ProPlates don't have a background/low contrast on my instance.
|
||||
|
||||
> Mastodon does not provide set variables for element colors, so we have to adjust the plate styling to each theme. If they're not displaying correctly please tell your admins to [follow these steps to style ProPlates](#how-do-i-style-proplates-to-correctly-display-on-my-themes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Somebody has added/changed pronouns, why is ProToots still showing no/their old pronouns?
|
||||
|
||||
> In order to strain your instance less pronouns are cached for 24h, so it might take up to a day to see this change reflected.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why does the ProPlate just show a link?
|
||||
|
||||
> When an author only provides their pronouns as a pronouns.page link we display that instead. In the future we'll be able to extract pronouns from the given link. (See #7)

### Protoots aren't working on my instance
|
||||
|
||||
> what protoots needs (data-id, classnames)
|
||||
> issue/pull-request for custom schema
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I style ProPlates to correctly display on my themes?
|
||||
|
||||
> You can set their background-color and color attribute for each theme.
|
||||
> To do this simply add some CSS to your server. [Here's how.](https://fedi.tips/customising-your-mastodon-servers-appearance/)
|
||||
> See [our default styles](/src/styles/proplate.css) for reference.
