I did use clerkMiddleware given in the documentation but it still is taking me back to onboarding, and my database is giving false on onboarding. I have commented these two lines i my code and now it shows threads so i am working with this temporary solution.

Does anybody else have a problem where the communities that are created, aren't being saved in MongoDB? My webhook is also going crazy with just saying attempting for each event:


Sorry if this is vague, just curious if other people have had the same problem
I am also facing the same issue. Did you find any solution ?

I did find a solution! I entered the wrong link for the deployment endpoint from vercel. Go on vercel and grab the deployment link and not the link from when you go to the deployed site in the search bar

how did you fix it? he used the browser link in the video right?
i tried the deployment link as well but it did not work

does anyone know why do I get this error by uploadthing, but when I check the uploadthing dashboard I do have the uploads there

UPDATE: I solve it

Hey can anyone help me with this error

Its cool I solved it.
