Why does the post editor keep spinning in Chrome on a Mac?

If the post editor keeps spinning after you click Edit Post in Rejig, Chrome may need graphics acceleration enabled. This article walks you through how to turn it on.

Issue

When using Rejig on a MacBook in Google Chrome, you may notice that clicking Edit Post causes the editor to keep loading or spinning for several minutes.

This is usually caused by Chrome’s graphics acceleration setting being turned off.

How to fix it

  1. Open Google Chrome.

  2. Click the three dots in the top-right corner of the browser.

  3. Click Settings.

  4. In the search bar at the top of Settings, type:
    ​acceleration

  5. Find the setting called:
    ​Use graphics acceleration when available

  6. Turn this setting on.

  7. Chrome will ask you to relaunch the browser. Click Relaunch.

  8. After Chrome restarts, go back to Rejig.

  9. Try opening the same post again and click Edit Post.

What to expect

The editor may still take a brief moment to load the first time because Rejig uses an image editing processor. After it loads once, editing additional posts should be faster.

Still having trouble?

If the issue continues after enabling graphics acceleration and restarting Chrome, contact Rejig support so we can take a closer look.
