Running into issues with the Contributor Sidebar? Please follow this guide to help our support team troubleshoot and resolve any issues. Please refer to known issues below to see if you are encountering one of those.
Step 1: Clear cookies and cache from your current web browser, and restart.
Step 2: Use Google Chrome, incognito mode. Instructions.
Incognito mode doesn’t use browser extensions or plugins, which can interfere with the functionality of UserVoice.
Step 3: Try a different wifi/internet connection
Restrictive firewalls or network connections can cause issues, and using a different connection (Ideally a private one, such as your home network) will help to isolate this.
If steps 1-3 don’t change anything please write to us with the following information...

Notes and Known issues
- If you are using JSON SSO on your UserVoice account, passing "admin:deny" will remove a user's Contributor permissions.
- Some sites, such as Salesforce, Github, Twitter, and Intercom do not allow custom javascript to be inserted. To work around this, you should open the sidebar in a different tab. Please support the suggestion for a browser extension for the sidebar, which would resolve this issue. Please see our Salesforce Opportunity and Feedback integration to gain the sidebar functionality in a Salesforce instance.
- If you block third-party cookies in Chrome, whitelist your instance - xyz.uservoice.com to be able to sign into the contributor sidebar
- Alternatively, if you use Chrome, you can install an extension called "Ignore X-Frame headers" that will also work around this issue: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ignore-x-frame-headers/gleekbfjekiniecknbkamfmkohkpodhe?hl=en-US
- The sidebar does not work in Edge. It is supported in Chrome (latest release), Firefox (latest release) and Safari (latest release).
