Paths are not being assigned to players?

There are a few reasons this may be caused.

A) Note that players should meet all prerequisites of a path. To check if players meet all prerequisites, stop your server. Enable debug mode in the Settings file and restart your server. Autorank will now spit out a lot of information in the server log. Search for the Autorank's messages to see what it tells you about the progress of a path.

B) If you have a permission plugin that allows multiple ranks to be active at the same time for a player, Autorank might be only getting the first rank of the player. If that rank does not match any of the prerequisites of a path, it will not be completed. To allow Autorank to see all ranks of a player, set the 'use primary group for vault' to false.
