Are you ever crafting a creative prompt for Midjourney and feeling filled with anticipation to see the unique image it will generate, only to be absolutely floored by an error message, “Failed to request POST due to non-JSON response”?
If so, you’re not alone! We all know this error typically arises when the server sends a response in a format that the Midjourney bot, running on Discord, doesn’t recognize or expect, leading to communication issues. But don’t worry, we have the perfect solution for your woes!
In this blog post, we’ll be tackling this error head-on and discussing ways to solve it. Let’s get started!
Explained “Failed to request POST due to non-JSON response” Error in Midjourney
The “Failed to request POST due to non-JSON response” error in Midjourney occurs when Midjourney and the server try to communicate to each other. Midjourney expects the server to respond in JSON format, but sometimes, Midjourney gets a response in a different format and fails to make your image, leading to the dreaded error message.
Fortunately, this doesn’t have to be a roadblock for you! Here are several ways to tackle this error and get back to crafting amazing images with Midjourney.
How to Finally Fix “Failed to request POST due to non-JSON response” in Midjourney
Dealing with the Midjourney error, “Failed to request POST due to non-JSON response,” can be challenging, but there are steps you can take to try and resolve the issue.
First, check the Midjourney and Discord server status pages to see if the issue is on your end or a broader problem with a server. If there are notifications of problems on these pages, the issue is not specific to you and it gives an estimated time for resolution.
If the server status shows everything is normal, the next step is to restart the Discord application. This can help clear any temporary glitches that might be causing communication issues with the Midjourney bot. After restarting Discord, you should consider reinviting the Midjourney bot to your server or chat. This process involves removing and adding the bot, effectively resetting its connection and settings.
In some cases, the complexity or length of your prompt might be causing the issue. If your prompt is too detailed or complicated, it could lead to misunderstandings by the bot, resulting in errors. Try simplifying your prompt or breaking it into smaller, more manageable parts.
If you’re accessing Midjourney through a web browser, outdated or corrupted cache and cookies can cause issues. These files, saved by your browser, sometimes hold onto outdated data that conflicts with the current operations of websites like Midjourney or Discord. Clearing these files forces your browser to fetch fresh data, which can resolve many types of errors. This step involves entering your browser settings and removing cache and cookies related to the sites in question.
As a last resort, if none of the above steps work, contacting Midjourney’s support team can provide further assistance. Hit #support just above the newbies rooms in Discord to find support and ask anyone in the community to help you solve the Failed to request POST due to non-JSON response error. Or visit help.midjourney.com. They can offer more targeted solutions based on the specifics of your issue.
Remember the importance of server status checks, simplifying prompts, and, occasionally, just giving it some time. With these insights, you’re now ready to take on and tackle any errors that come your way and continue creating amazing images with Midjourney.
So don’t let this error message get you down! With the right steps, you can get back to crafting creative prompts and seeing all the unique images Midjourney has to offer.
