If this template helps then use it. If not then just delete and start from scratch.

**OS** Win11  
**PsychoPy version** 2024.1.5  
**Standard Standalone Installation? y**  
**Do you want it to also run locally? n**  
**What are you trying to achieve?:**

I’m trying to connect Pavlovia to PsychoPy. When I add myself as a user it allows me to log in, but then the Pavlovia window is blank. I can see the outline of the buttons onscreen, but when I click them nothing happens.

Are you logged into Pavlovia both on the website and in PsychoPy?

Try logging out within PsychoPy and then logging in again (possibly both locations)
