Situation

You open a task view, folder, or project info panel and see “Loading...” instead of the description field. Here’s what may cause this issue and how to resolve it.

Cause

A few things may prevent your description from loading:

• Internet connection: Make sure you are connected to the Internet and that you can open other websites.
• Browser: We support the two latest versions of most popular browsers. Make sure you are using one of them.
• Network: If your corporate network uses a proxy, firewall, VPN, or an antivirus program, it may be blocking Wrike resources. Check with your IT team to see if this is the case, or try accessing Wrike using another network.

Before you troubleshoot, check our Wrike Status Page to see if there are any ongoing issues or maintenance announcements. If there are no problems reported, follow the steps below to resolve your issue.
