JKS just wondering, is the potty in the living room with you? DD will not ask for the potty (she has just stood in the kitchen and wet herself because she couldn't open the door and wouldn't tell us that she needed to go) but will happily use the potty, if the potty is accessable.
I apologise if you're already doing this, just trying to help!
