WordPress is a powerful and widely used content management system, it can encounter errors and issues that may disrupt website functionality. Here are some common WordPress errors and troubleshooting tips to resolve them Free

If you encounter this error when trying to access a page, check your permalink settings. Re-saving them can resolve the issue. Also, ensure that the .htaccess file is correctly configured.
2. Internal Server Error
This generic error may occur due to plugin or theme conflicts, or server misconfigurations. Check your server error logs for more information or try disabling plugins to identify the culprit.
3. White Screen of Death (WSOD)
when your website displays a blank white screen. To fix it, disable recently added themes or plugins that might be causing conflicts. Access your site via FTP to rename the problematic theme or plugin folder.
4. Connection Timed Out
This error indicates issues with your web hosting server. Contact your hosting provider for assistance or consider upgrading to a more robust hosting plan.
5. Mixed Content Errors
If your site is not loading securely with HTTPS, you may encounter mixed content errors. Ensure all elements on your website (images, scripts, stylesheets) are loaded over HTTPS.

Some plugins or themes might exceed your server’s PHP memory limit, causing this error. Increase PHP memory limit in wp-config.php or ask your hosting provider to do it for you.

When editing code, a syntax error can lead to site crashes. Double-check your changes, and revert them to correct the error.
8. Database Connection Errors
If your website displays an error establishing a database connection, verify your database credentials in wp-config.php. Also, ensure the database server is running.

If you forget your password or encounter login issues, reset your password via the “Lost your password?” link on the login page.

WordPress relies on PHP’s mail function, which may not work correctly on all servers. Consider using SMTP plugins to ensure reliable email delivery.
