Errors

Could not add website

Webmaster add-site — API/UI failed to create the website row.

Could not add website

Webmaster add-site flow shows webmasterPage.errors.addSite when create fails (API error or network).

Why this happens

Validation error (URL/category), duplicate site, program disabled, or server failure. Category messages may appear first when sanitize throws.

Diagnose and fix

1. Fix category/title/URL validation errors if shown; then resubmit.

2. Confirm Webmaster program is enabled and the user is approved as webmaster.

3. Check for duplicate URL already pending/approved.

4. See Webmaster sites and verification and Webmaster websites approval.
