Troubleshooting ElevenLabs UI components.

Why are my components not styled?

Make sure your project is configured correctly for shadcn/ui in Tailwind 4 - this means having a globals.css file that imports Tailwind and includes the shadcn/ui base styles.

I ran the ElevenLabs UI CLI but nothing was added to my project

Double-check that:

  • Your current working directory is the root of your project (where package.json lives).
  • Your components.json file (if using shadcn-style config) is set up correctly.
  • You're using the latest version of the ElevenLabs UI CLI:
pnpm dlx @elevenlabs/agents-cli@latest components add orb

Theme switching doesn’t work — my app stays in light mode

Ensure your app is using the same data-theme system that shadcn/ui and AI Elements expect. The default implementation toggles a data-theme attribute on the <html> element. Make sure your tailwind.config.js is using class or data- selectors accordingly:

The component imports fail with “module not found”

Check the file exists. If it does, make sure your tsconfig.json has a proper paths alias for @/ i.e.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/_": ["./_"]
    }
  }
}

Still stuck?
