What's Covered?

WordPress errors can arise from various sources, ranging from issues with plugins and themes to server configuration problems.

Resolving these issues often involves identifying conflicts caused by poorly coded plugins, outdated themes, reviewing error logs, and making adjustments to WordPress configurations or server settings of your hosting account as needed.

Sometimes, there are no error messages or other indicators during the troubleshooting process.

That’s where I excel. For me, this goes beyond work; it’s a true passion.

Having fixed countless WordPress websites hosted on various hosting provider servers, I can typically tackle and resolve most issues within 30 minutes.

Server or PHP Related Errors

WordPress website errors related to web servers can occur due to various factors inherent to the server environment.

Issues often arise from misconfigurations, resource limitations, or compatibility problems between WordPress and server software like Apache, and Nginx.

Common reasons include inadequate PHP memory limits, execution timeouts, or mod_security rules that restrict certain WordPress functionalities.

Additionally, incorrect file permissions or configuration directives in the server’s .htaccess file can lead to HTTP errors, such as 403 Forbidden or 500 Internal Server Error, or prevent WordPress from working correctly, which may cause the famous blank screen or fatal error.

Server downtime, database connection failures, or overloaded server resources due to high traffic can also contribute to site instability or other errors.

Below is a list of the most common errors and issues caused by these types of sources:

  • Error Establishing Database Connection
  • There Has Been a Critical Error on Your Website
  • Empty Screen (The White Screen of Death)
  • Internal Server Error (HTTP 500)
  • Memory Limit Error
  • Too Many Redirects
  • Maximum Execution Time Exceeded

Design / Layout Fixes

Design and layout-related issues in WordPress can occur due to several reasons. These include; outdates theme, a particular plugin, poor customization choices, or (mostly) incorrect CSS coding.

Resolving these issues typically involves reviewing and updating themes, adhering to best practices for customization, ensuring responsiveness, and thorough cross-browser testing to maintain a user-friendly layout across all devices.

As an experienced frontend developer, I specialize in resolving various design and layout issues by adjusting theme customization, implementing custom CSS styling, ensuring consistent font faces and sizes across the website, and optimizing responsive design.

I commonly fix WordPress website layout issues such as:

  • Color, Alignment, Margin, Padding Issues
  • Header / Footer Layout Issues. Mobile (hamburger) menu.
  • Typography / Font Inconsistency
  • Page Builder Issues (page builders or styling plugins may conflict with the theme, causing layout distortions)
  • Responsive Design Issues (cut off text, or incorrectly sized images)
  • Relative / Absolute Positioning (overlapping elements)
  • Any Other CSS Related Styling Issue

Other WordPress Issues

Here are additional WordPress issues that I commonly encounter and resolve:

Elementor, WP Bakery, Divi Builder Issues

Page builders can add a significant amount of extra code to your site, leading to slower load times and potentially harming SEO performance.

To overcome this issue, I usually disable unused widgets (elements) throughout the website.

Another issue that I encounter with Elementor is that, it may conflict with certain plugins and fail to load the Elementor editor in Wordpress dashboard.

To diagnose this issue, I deactivate each plugin one by one and try to find out which one is causing conflict. Next, I try to fix the issue by inspecting how the conflict occurs and try to come up with ways to avoid it.

WordPress Core Files

Issues related to WordPress core files often arise from incomplete updates. These updates often include security patches and new features.

For example, an incomplete interrupted update might leave the core files in a corrupted state, resulting in error messages or a broken website.

Unauthorized changes to core files, whether due to hacking or user error, can disrupt essential WordPress functions and compromise security.

Plugin Conflicts and Broken Theme Issues

Plugin conflicts can arise when two or more plugins attempt to perform similar functions or use incompatible code, leading to errors, crashes, or broken site features.

Problems in the plugin folder often arise from incorrect permissions, conflicting plugin names, or corrupted files, leading to errors or broken features.

Additionally, when using the default WordPress theme, updates to plugins or WordPress core can sometimes introduce new conflicts, as the default theme may not always account for every third-party extension.

Root Folder and Malware Issues

The root folder, which contains critical core files such as wp-config.php, can experience issues due to incorrect file permissions, corrupted .htaccess files, or malware infections.

Similarly, most malware infections cause suspicious files to be uploaded to theme folder or add malicious code to the plugin files.

If I suspect any issues with one of these, I prefer manually checking using the file manager feature of the hosting account. 

.htaccess and PHP Variables Issues

The .htaccess file, which controls server configurations, can cause problems like 500 Internal Server Error, leading to site downtime or restricted access to certain pages. Incorrect rules or directives within this file can also interfere with URL rewriting, permalinks, and can even cause your website not to get indexed by search engines.

Misconfigured PHP settings can result in errors like “Allowed memory size exhausted”, or script timeouts.

Issues related to the max_input_vars variable in WordPress typically occur when the number of input variables (such as form fields, options, or menu items) exceeds the default limit set by the server. This can result in incomplete data being saved, truncated form submissions, or missing menu items, leading to functionality problems and user frustration.

SSL / Mixed Content Issues (HTTPS)

SSL and mixed content issues in WordPress often occur when a website is configured to use HTTPS, but some resources (such as images, scripts, or stylesheets) are still being loaded over HTTP.

This mismatch can lead to “mixed content” warnings in browsers, indicating that not all content is being securely delivered. These issues can compromise the security and performance of the site, potentially deterring visitors.

They typically arise from hardcoded URLs in themes or plugins, outdated site settings, or external resources that aren’t served over HTTPS.

Sometimes you simply don’t have SSL certificate installed. In that cause you need to contact with your web hosting provider and get an SSL, such as Let’s Encrypt, installed.

Forms Not Sending Emails (SMTP Issue)

One common WordPress issue is forms not sending emails, often due to SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) problems.

This typically occurs when the server’s PHP mail function fails to send emails properly, which can be caused by server misconfigurations or restrictions by the hosting provider.

To resolve this, configuring SMTP settings ensures reliable email delivery by routing emails through a dedicated mail server. This setup involves using an SMTP plugin, entering the correct server credentials, and verifying the configuration.

By doing so, you can ensure that contact forms, order confirmations, and other email notifications are sent and received as intended.

Fixing WordPress website errors can be a daunting task, but with the right approach, you can tackle them effectively. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate through common WordPress errors:

  1. Identify the Error: The first step is to identify the specific error or issue your website is encountering. Is it a white screen of death, an HTTP error, a database connection issue, or something else?

  2. Check Error Logs: WordPress logs errors that occur on your website. Check your error logs to get more information about the error, which can help you understand its root cause.

  3. Deactivate Plugins and Themes: Sometimes, conflicts between plugins or themes can cause errors. Deactivate all plugins and switch to a default theme (like Twenty Twenty-One) to see if the error persists. If not, reactivate each plugin/theme one by one to identify the culprit.

  4. Clear Cache: Cached data can sometimes cause errors. Clear your browser cache and any caching plugins you’re using on WordPress.

  5. Update WordPress Core, Plugins, and Themes: Outdated software can be vulnerable to errors and security threats. Make sure WordPress core, plugins, and themes are up-to-date.

  6. Check File Permissions: Incorrect file permissions can lead to errors. Ensure that your WordPress files and directories have the correct permissions set.

  7. Increase PHP Memory Limit: Insufficient PHP memory limit can cause errors, especially when performing resource-intensive tasks. Increase the PHP memory limit in your wp-config.php file or php.ini file.

  8. Check .htaccess File: Errors in the .htaccess file can cause issues with your website’s functionality. Make sure it’s configured correctly.

  9. Repair Database: If your database is corrupted, it can lead to errors. Use the built-in WordPress database repair tool or a plugin to repair your database.

  10. Seek Professional Help: If you’re unable to fix the error on your own, don’t hesitate to seek help from professionals. Services like WPFixFast specialize in WordPress support and can assist you in resolving complex errors quickly and efficiently.

Finding errors in WordPress involves using various tools and methods to identify issues affecting your website’s functionality. Here are some approaches to help you find errors in WordPress:

  1. Enable Debugging: WordPress has a built-in debugging feature that can help you identify errors. To enable debugging, edit your wp-config.php file and set the WP_DEBUG constant to true. This will display error messages on your site, helping you pinpoint the source of the problem.

  2. Check Error Logs: WordPress logs errors that occur on your website. You can access these logs through your hosting control panel or via FTP. Look for error_log files in your WordPress directory or check with your hosting provider on how to access error logs.

  3. Use Developer Tools: Most modern web browsers come with built-in developer tools that allow you to inspect elements, view console logs, and monitor network activity. Use these tools to identify JavaScript errors, HTTP errors, and other issues affecting your website.

  4. Monitor Server Logs: Server logs provide valuable information about server-side errors that may impact your WordPress site. Check your server logs for any errors related to PHP, MySQL, or other server software.

  5. Use Plugins: There are several WordPress plugins available that can help you identify and troubleshoot errors on your site. Plugins like Query Monitor, Debug Bar, and Health Check & Troubleshooting can provide insights into performance issues, database queries, and plugin conflicts.

  6. Run Site Health Check: WordPress includes a Site Health feature that evaluates your site’s performance and identifies any critical issues. You can access Site Health under the Tools menu in your WordPress dashboard.

  7. Monitor Google Search Console: Google Search Console provides information about website errors detected by Google’s crawler. Monitor your Search Console account for any crawl errors, security issues, or indexing problems affecting your WordPress site.

  8. Check with Hosting Support: If you’re experiencing server-related errors or issues beyond your control, contact your hosting provider’s support team for assistance. They can help diagnose server-side problems and suggest solutions.

By using these methods, you can effectively identify and troubleshoot errors in WordPress, ensuring that your website remains functional and error-free.

8. JavaScript Conflicts: JavaScript conflicts between different scripts running on your site can cause various errors, including unexpected behavior and functionality issues.

9. Server Downtime: Temporary server outages or downtime can prevent WordPress from functioning correctly. Check with your hosting provider for any server-related issues.

10. Hacked or Compromised Site: If your WordPress site has been hacked or compromised, it may exhibit unusual behavior or errors. Perform security scans and audits to detect and resolve any security issues.
