Common WordPress Errors and How to Fix Them
WordPress is a powerful platform, but like anything tech-related, it can hiccup from time to time. Don't fret; we're here to guide you through some common errors and how to fix them.
White Screen of Death
If your site is suddenly all white, don't panic. It's likely a plugin conflict. Deactivate plugins one by one to identify the culprit and fix it.
404 Page Not Found:
This error happens when a page or post can't be located. Check if the URL is correct and if your .htaccess file is intact.
Internal Server Error
Usually, it's due to a corrupted .htaccess file or exhausted PHP memory. You can regenerate your .htaccess file and increase the memory limit.
Connection Timed Out
When your site takes forever to load, it could be a hosting issue. Try optimizing your images, using a caching plugin, or upgrading your hosting plan.
Error Establishing a Database Connection:
If you see this, it means your website can't connect to the database. Check your database login details in wp-config.php.

Too Many Redirects
A misconfigured SSL certificate or incorrect URL settings can lead to this error. Double-check your WordPress and Site URL in settings.
Memory Exhausted Error:
When your site hits its memory limit, it can crash. Increase the PHP memory limit in your wp-config.php file.
Parse Error
Usually caused by a syntax error in your code. Check the code you recently added or modified.
Mixed Content Error
This happens when your site is not fully secure (HTTP/HTTPS mixed content). Use a plugin to fix this issue or update links manually.
Locked Out of the Dashboard
If you forgot your password or can't access the dashboard, use the "Lost your password?" link to reset it.
