Common Errors
IncorrectUsageError1 reportIncorrectUsageError in Ghost often arises from Content API requests (like `browse()` or `read()`) where you attempt to `include` related data without proper configuration in the underlying model layer filters. This often involves forgetting or incorrectly defining the `withRelated` property inside the options/filter arguments passed to the model. Ensure that the `withRelated` array explicitly includes the relations you are attempting to `include` in your API call, aligning the requested relations with the allowed relations in your filter options.
NotFoundError1 reportThe "NotFoundError" in Ghost often arises from missing or incorrectly configured files, particularly the `members.sqlite` database file. To fix this, ensure the `members.sqlite` file exists in the correct Ghost content directory and has proper read/write permissions for the Ghost user. If the file is missing, try reinitializing the members data by truncating any corrupted membership config in the database via the Ghost CLI tool or reinstalling Ghost.
