Error when updating and saving the API provider for Embeddings module

Product Support

AI-generated summary

fracool reported an error when trying to update the API provider for the Embeddings module, receiving a “NoMethodError” while saving settings. The issue persisted despite having a fresh install with only the AI plugin enabled. Jagster questioned whether ada-002 was still in use, and fracool clarified they were stuck on the default model and attempting to switch to ada-002. Falco asked about OpenAI API settings, prompting fracool to share screenshots confirming the API key was valid — though saving still failed for OpenAI-related settings. Eventually, fracool resolved the issue by realizing their OpenAI account had insufficient credit and was using an outdated API key format; topping up the account and switching to a modern sk-proj key fixed the problem. The root cause was not a plugin bug but an account-level issue with OpenAI.

Error when updating and saving the API provider for Embedding module. “an error occurred”. Unable to change the API provider for embeddings module.

Id appreciate if anyone can let me know is this just me? This is a fairly fresh install and I only have the AI plugin installed, no other plugins.

Thanks, F

Is ada-002 still in use :thinking:

No! Unfortunately not, it’s stuck on the default which the AI plugin ships with, I’m trying to update it to use ada-002.

What’s your openai API settings?

I have:

The key is a legitimate one I have checked - I’ve tried adding org ID too but same result with not being able to save the setting:

It seems to be just the openai ones failing to save… same from the console as saving via the site:

Turns out it was my fault, I’d let my credit run down on openai and hadn’t noticed! Also was using an older style api key rather than one of the sk-proj format ones.

It’s working now I’ve topped up my open AI account.
