Is your Fitbit Pay not working? I have a Fitbit Ionic, and my Fitbit wallet stopped working, which was a real pain in the ass. After heaps of research and help from the Fitbit team, I finally got my Fitbit Pay to work on my Ionic again.

So, if Fitbit Pay is not working on your Ionic, the following steps should get it working again. With slight modifications, you may even get it to work on your Fitbit, even if it isn’t an Ionic.

If you found this post to be helpful please share it with your friends.

Before you do anything check to see that your bank is supported by Fitbit. You can do that by clicking on this link.

Steps To Fix Fitbit Pay Not Working

Sync the Ionic.

Factory Reset Instruction

  1. Remove the Ionic from your account.
  2. Delete the Bluetooth pairing.
  3. Press and hold all buttons on the device.
  4. Wait until the Fitbit logo disappears, then release the bottom right button.
  5.  Wait until you feel a vibration, then release the other buttons.
  6. You will probably see a red X message. Just ignore that and set up the device again.

Before setting it up again, do these steps:      

  1. Turn off Bluetooth.
  2. Go into your iPhone settings > General > iPhone storage > Fitbit > Delete.
  3. Restart the iPhone
  4. Go into the App Store and download the Fitbit application.
  5. Turn back on the Bluetooth.
  6. And sync the Ionic to the app.
  7. Then; From the Fitbit app dashboard
  8. Tap or click the Account icon > your device image with your watch nearby from the Fitbit app dashboard.
  9. Tap or click the Wallet tile. 
  10. Follow the on-screen instructions to add a payment card. In some cases, your bank may require additional verification. It will prompt you for a 4-digit pin code if you’re setting up Fitbit Pay for the first time. You also need to have a Touch ID or a PIN code turned on for your phone.
  11. After you’ve added a card, follow the on-screen instructions to turn on notifications for your phone (if you haven’t already done so) to complete the setup.

We hope these steps help.

Those of you who have been following my posts know how much I love Skylum’s photo editor. This has been the case ever since I first purchased Luminar 3 and even when I upgraded to Luminar 4. You may remember my post, Having Fun With Luminar 4?

Luminar Neo The Latest AI Image Editor

The idea behind Luminar Neo is to allow all photographers to achieve complex creative results with complete ease.

Dima Sytnik, Co-Founder and CPO of Skylum, states, “As the latest member of the Luminar family, we designed Luminar Neo to allow artists to take on more challenging image creation work and achieve results which often seem unattainable.”

In my latest YouTube video, Special Luminar Neo Deal, I showed some of the incredible things Luminar Neo can do. They include;

  • New relighting options to transform photos. Luminar Neo analyzes each image to recognize the depth of a scene and its subject, allowing precise control over exposure and tone.

  • Removal of unwanted background elements like power cables etc.: Luminar Neo has new tools to remove unwanted background elements more effortless than ever before.
  • Powerful background replacement. Take complete control of the background for portrait photos by quickly replacing it with an all-new image or scene. Wouldn’t it be great if you could remove the background and save it as a transparent image? 
  • Round-trip mobile image management. Their new companion mobile app makes it simple to add pictures captured on a mobile device to your Luminar Catalog. Once edited in Luminar Neo, results can be sent back to the mobile device for easy social sharing or viewing on the go.

Gluten-Free Taralli Recipe

gluten-free taralli recipe

Hey guys, I’ve just published a video on how to make delicious gluten-free taralli. Follow my gluten-free taralli recipe to make your own gluten-free taralli. My mother always used regular flour, which meant that my daughter couldn’t eat them because she couldn’t tolerate gluten. 

That’s when I decided on my gluten-free taralli journey. As I explained in the video, the first batch was useless because the dough wouldn’t roll into those little log shapes as the dough was too crumbly. I needed something to help bind the dough, and I found the best thing for that was Xantham gum.

Other than that, the taralli making process was pretty much the same as when making regular taralli. So, without further ado, here is Nonno’s Favourite Gluten-Free Taralli Recipe.

Gluten-Free Taralli Recipe

  • Three cups gluten-free flour (360 grams)
  • One cup water (250ml plus a tablespoon to be perfectly precise 😆) 
  • One teaspoon active dry yeast
  • One teaspoon salt 
  • Two tablespoons Olive oil 
  • One tablespoon fennel seeds
  • Two teaspoons of Xanthan Gum.
  1. Dissolve the yeast into two tablespoons of warm water and let it stand for 10 minutes or until you see bubbles appearing on the surface.
  2. Add the olive oil to the water.
  3. Add the flour, salt, Xantham Gum and fennel seeds into a mixing bowl. 
  4. Mix everything together, make a crater in the flour, and pour in the water and olive oil mix.
  5. Work the ingredients together with a wooden spoon until the flour absorbs all the liquids. 
  6. Turn the dough onto your bench and work the dough by overlapping one end onto the other for about 10 minutes. 
  7. Cover the mixed dough with a tea cloth for 20 minutes.
  8. Transfer the dough to your working surface and into portions so you can shape them into small logs. 
  9. Stretch and roll each piece from the centre outward to about 8 inches in length and overlap the two bottom ends, pressing down gently.
  10. Transfer to a lightly floured tray or plate and cover with plastic. 
  11. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), set rack to middle position and line the baking trays with greaseproof paper. To save time, I placed two trays as close to the middle of the oven as possible.
  12. Have a pan half-filled with water set to boil.
  13. Once the water comes to a boil, work with small batches and add the taralli into the boiling water. Let them submerge and when the taralli rises to the top, about 30 seconds, remove it with a slotted spoon or strainer and transfer onto a tea towel. 
  14. After you have placed all the taralli onto the tea towel, start transferring them to the greaseproofed baking trays.
  15. Place the tray (or trays 😆) into the oven and baking for approximately 35 minutes or until the taralli is light golden brown.
  16. Baking time will depend on the weight and thickness of each taralli, so keep an eye on them.
  17. Remove from the oven and let them cool before eating.

Let them sit until the next day before storing them in an airtight container. I didn’t do that the first time and my taralli’s lost their crunch.
