01

Refresh & Retry

Hard refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R), then click connect again. Sometimes cached state blocks the popup.

02

Check MetaMask Permissions

Click MetaMask icon → three dots → Connected Sites. If the site is listed but not working, disconnect it and reconnect fresh.

03

Disable Other Wallet Extensions

Multiple wallet extensions (Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, etc.) can conflict. Disable all except MetaMask temporarily.

04

Try Incognito Mode

Open an incognito window with MetaMask enabled. If it works there, a browser extension is conflicting.

05

Reset MetaMask Connection

Settings → Advanced → Reset Account clears pending tx data. Note: this does NOT remove funds or seed phrase.
