Cannot create a 'Gig Extra' [SOLVED]

Welcome Fiverr FAQ
#1

Hello!

I’ve been trying to create a Gig Extra but I always get “Gig items Gig Extra: title contains illegal characters.”

I looked around, and I don’t think I’ve been using illegal characters unless it’s due to the space/multiple capitalized/repeated words?

I tried out such titles as Colored Chibi, Colored chibi, and coloredchibi. I’m pretty new to the site so I’m not quite sure of the standards for adding Gig extras.

Thank you!

Some punctuation is not allowed. Try using ONLY letters and numbers.

Oh geez, I am…two years late to most of these [and four months late to yours]. I’m super sorry!! Pretty sure you and the other two have already long since solved this problem–

But in-case anyone else happens to stumble upon this post in the future, the solution is pretty simple actually.

Just keep Gig Extra Titles simple–No punctuation, like MySkilllsForSale has said…back in 2016.

Best of luck to everyone! ^w^

Hiya Muhammadjuna547!

It’s been over two years, so I don’t really remember. ^^; But I’ve never come across this issue again, so I’d say the best way to avoid this problem would be to withhold punctuation from your ‘Gig Extra’ Titles. Good luck, and I hope this helped somewhat!

I solved it :slight_smile:
It was not the problem in TITLE, but a problem in the DESCRIPTION field,
in my case I used () when desribing my extras, and apparently you cannot use any character other than letter/number except for a dot .

Thanks for the tip! That just solved it for me. I, too, had some words in parenthesis in my description and that is what was triggering it- although the alert claimed it was a problem with my title.
