Professional Designer Vs Ai Website Builder
Sure, an AI website builder can generate a website faster than you can say “algorithm,” but can it understand the nuances of your brand identity or create an emotional connection with your audience? We think not. AI has its place as an excellent tool to help growing businesses, but it’s not a replacement for professional web designers who can craft landing pages that convert.
Why We're Better Than Robots:
We have emotions (mostly positive ones, we promise)
We understand sarcasm, in fact we are fluent in it! (unlike some virtual assistants we know)

CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheets, plays a role in the work of web designers and developers. It takes basic HTML code and turns it into attractive looking web pages. This article will delve into the concept of CSS its usage and resources for further learning.
CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheets, is a language used to define how a document written in HTML should look. It determines the arrangement, colors, fonts and overall visual appeal of websites. In simple terms CSS brings your web design visions to life.
CSS, short for Cascading Style Sheets, showcases its functionality of applying styles. From broad to narrow scopes. This capability enables the inheritance of styles from elements to their offspring facilitating streamlined design throughout a website.
How to Use CSS with Your WordPress Site
Utilizing CSS alongside WordPress can greatly improve the look of your website. Although you might not reach the level of personalization offered by PHP coding CSS provides flexibility in modifying the visual aspects of your site. Let’s explore the process of incorporating CSS into WordPress.
Editing Your WordPress Theme
To begin, access your WordPress dashboard. Go to the section labeled Appearance and select Theme Editor. Here you’ll find the CSS files linked to your theme.
Once you’ve chosen the theme editor you need to locate the specific element you want to modify on your websites interface. In this case well be altering the color of some text. By utilizing the inspect feature in Google Chrome you can pinpoint the CSS that governs that element. For example if you’re adjusting an H3 heading simply inspect it to discover the corresponding hexadecimal color code.
Changing Element Colors
After finding the color code head back to the theme editor. Use the search feature (by pressing Command + F on a Mac) to find that element in the CSS file. Substitute the current hexadecimal color with your preferred color code. Don’t forget to add a semicolon to finalize your CSS rule.
Once you’ve made your edits, be sure to click the Update button to preserve your adjustments. If the changes don’t appear right away, your browser could be displaying stored information.
Clearing Cached Data
If you want to clear out data in Chrome go to the section click on and then choose to see the history. Once you’re there look for the option on the left side. Make sure to check the box for cached images and files. This will help you view any changes you made.
Working Safely with CSS
CSS is a tool for web design but it comes with risks if you’re not well versed in the language. Tweaking the theme editor without knowledge can lead to harm on your site. So, it’s a good idea to experiment on a site before implementing modifications on a website.
The latest iteration of CSS, known as CSS3 offers a range of features and functionalities. Exploring its possibilities can be an enjoyable way to discover and craft distinctive layouts.
Where to Learn CSS

Technical support services with MMS also include uptime monitoring. This proactive measure ensures that our technical team is promptly notified of any downtime, ensuring quick resolution of any issues so your website is always available for your clients and customers.
Security Measures
When it comes to security, Managed WordPress Support is a fortress. By default, a good hosting company will provide strong encryption for all sites, with SSL certificates installed automatically, keeping your website’s data protected from prying eyes. But this encryption is just the first layer of the security measures that can be put in place. Managed WordPress hosting also includes:
Integrated firewalls
Monitored web traffic for suspicious activity
Protection against DDoS attacks
Regular security testing with a dedicated security specialist addressing potential risks
Regular backups for complete website recovery
Updates and Maintenance
Managed WordPress support with Modernize My Site offers the ultimate convenience in managing updates and maintenance. Regular updates will be handled by the trained professionals on our maintenance team instead of automatically so that your site can be checked for any issues or compatibility errors. Replacing automation with personal and professional care ensures your website is always running the latest, most stable version of WordPress.
Because of the hands on nature of this service, managed WordPress hosting offers a more seamless user experience with enhanced site performance and reliability. Enhanced services like daily backups, seamless updates, and consistent uptime make managed WordPress hosting worth the investment.
Top Benefits of Managed WordPress Support
Managed WordPress Support comes with many benefits, including:
Saving time
Enhancing website performance
Providing expert guidance
Equipping website owners with essential tools and assistance for content creation and marketing without breaking your website
Time Savings
One of the major advantages of managed WordPress hosting is the time it saves. This is particularly beneficial for businesses seeking to avoid time-consuming technical tasks. By consolidating services with a single managed WordPress host, management tasks are substantially simplified, leading to less time wasted on website woes.
By streamlining the setup process and providing intuitive dashboards, managed WordPress hosting saves time traditionally spent on server configuration. In addition, maintenance mode features included in managed WordPress hosting reduce setup time compared to using additional plugins or manual configurations.
Automated site updates can save considerable time and regular, automated backups ensure website health, eliminating the need for manual efforts, but when automation handles the updates and backups for your site you risk bugs and update errors slipping through the cracks unnoticed and becoming part of your backups. Managed support offers the peace of mind that comes with never worrying about your updates or backups and always knowing they are done correctly and without risk to your site.
Improved Website Performance
Managed WordPress hosting is known for its performance-enhancing capabilities, including dedicated hosting. The technology stacks are tailored to meet the specific requirements of WordPress sites, ensuring optimal uptime and enhanced performance. Advanced server technologies, such as SSD drives and Brotli compression, result in quicker website loading times.
Some managed hosting platforms, like Modernize My Site, offer server environments specially configured for WordPress, providing an additional performance advantage. Performance optimization tasks, such as server-side caching, are frequently managed by web hosting providers to deliver rapid website load speeds, without requiring significant effort from site owners. Modernize My Site specializes in offering tailored solutions for WordPress websites.
Independent speed tests have confirmed the swiftness of managed WordPress hosting solutions. Custom PHP implementations in managed hosting environments have successfully reduced page load times by up to 30%, benefiting end-user experiences.
Thanks to cloud-edge network technologies, managed WordPress hosting ensures consistently low response times across different geographic locations.

These teams provide expert advice and support on various technical aspects, including troubleshooting and performance optimization.

Facing a WordPress error message can feel like a crisis when your carefully crafted content is held hostage by cryptic codes and malfunctioning plugins. Support forums can be a confusing mix of conflicting advice, but fear not WordPress users, this practical WordPress troubleshooting guide is here to equip you with the tools to overcome these digital roadblocks and restore your website to its publishing prime.
First things first: Stay Calm
Panic is the enemy of progress. While an unresponsive website can be frustrating, approaching the situation with a clear head is key. Take a deep breath, review the error message (documenting its details), and prepare to solve this troubleshooting problem with the help of your amazing WordPress community.
21 Common WordPress Errors and How to Fix Them
Here is our lineup of common WordPress culprits and the overcoming strategies:
1. WordPress is stuck in Maintenance Mode after updating
Stuck in maintenance mode after an update? Let’s get your fresh website out there! Grab your favorite FTP client and navigate to your WordPress root directory. Find the file called “.maintenance”. You may need to enable “show hidden files” to see it. Once you’ve found the maintenance file right-click and “delete” that update blocker. You should now be free of maintenance mode and on your way to show off your updates and changes.
2. You get function errors after updating a plugin
If you updated several plugins the best way to find the problem child is to deactivate each plugin one by one, testing the page for compatibility errors after each deactivation. Once you’ve identified the culprit you can either update the plugin to a compatible version, seek support from the developer, or explore an alternative plugin with similar functionality. If your security plugin is causing the issue make sure to find a replacement right away! If all else fails contact your web host for help.
3. Changes Aren’t Visible on Your Live Site
Are your carefully crafted changes invisible on your live site? Unpublished updates can be enough to cause panic in the heart of even the most experienced website owner, but don’t worry! You can get your changes live by considering a few common culprits: browser cache, WordPress Cache, and content delivery network cache (if applicable). Clearing these temporary data stores ensures that you’re viewing the latest version of your site. If cache-clearing doesn’t do the trick, dig deeper. It could be your theme cache or a caching plugin. Check your theme and plugin documentation for specific cache-clearing instructions, and consider deactivating them temporarily to see if the changes emerge.
4. Your posts or pages are showing 404 not found
Encountering a 404 “not found” error is frustrating but easily solved! This error doesn’t usually mean your website is gone, but simply hiding from view. This error often arises from incorrect permalinks or broken internal links. Double-check your settings, verify post visibility, and ensure a smooth navigational path for your readers.
5. White screen of Death
The white screen of death is an unsettling void usually linked to either memory-related or code-related issues. To pinpoint the culprit, check your PHP error logs: reach out to your hosting provider, or if using Elementor, scroll down to the “Log” section in System Info. Once you understand the cause, fix it by increasing memory (contact hosting or edit .htaccess or php.ini files), disabling conflicting plugins, or switching to the default theme.
6. Error establishing a Database Connection
Database connection errors can be a roadblock, but don’t fret! Here are a few steps to get your site back on track:
Check for mistyped database details: Use your FTP client to open the wp-config file and double-check that the database name, username, password, and hosting account are entered correctly.
Contact your hosting provider: If the WordPress database itself is corrupt or there are server-side issues, your hosting provider can assist with troubleshooting and potential repairs.
Rule out hacking: If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, scan your website for potential compromises using trusted online tools.
7. Allowed Memory Size Exhausted Error
Websites can become overwhelmed by large WordPress files like images and resource-intensive plugins. Troubleshoot this issue by making sure you optimize visuals, consider plugin alternatives, and explore increasing your server’s memory limit (with careful cost-benefit analysis).
Allocate More Memory: Navigate to your wp config.php file and increase the memory limit by editing the ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’ value to a higher number.
Craft Clear and Concise Content: Optimize your content for both users and search engines by focusing on readability and keyword relevance.
Optimize Images: Use image compression tools to reduce file sizes without sacrificing quality, improving loading speeds and reducing memory strain.
Choose Memory-Friendly Themes and Plugins: Opt for themes and plugins developed with performance in mind to minimize memory usage.
Consider Hosting Upgrades: If these steps don’t suffice, explore hosting plans with greater memory allocation to support your growing site.
8. Syntax Errors
Stuttering website? If your WordPress site says “The Site is Experiencing Technical Difficulties” you are probably facing a syntax error. Fortunately, Syntax Errors usually tell you exactly where to look in the error message or error logs.
A WordPress syntax error is often related to typos in the php.ini file or mismatched quotations and brackets. Check the error message for file and line details to help you find the culprit, fix the typo, and voila! Your site will be singing again. No coding degree required!
9. Forbidden Errors “Sorry, You Are Not Allowed to Access ”
Are you supposed to be here? If you’ve stumbled upon a 403 error page, fear not! This roadblock simply means your server lacks permission to grant you access to that specific page. Here’s what you do:
First, identify the culprit:
Plugin trouble? Deactivate all plugins in your plugin folder and reactivate them one by one to pinpoint the culprit.
File fumble? The .htaccess file might be the rogue agent. Back it up, delete it from the server, and relaunch the site. If the error disappears, you’ve found the villain!
If it’s the .htaccess file:
Generate a new one by navigating to the WordPress admin dashboard, selecting Settings > Permalinks. A simple click on “Save Changes” will conjure a fresh file and hopefully grant you smooth access.
Remember, troubleshooting is like exploring – sometimes you have to take detours to find the right path. So, keep your chin up, follow these steps, and you’ll be back to enjoying your WordPress journey in no time!
10. Sidebar or Menu under your Main Content
Sidebar or menu taking a rebellious dip below your content? Don’t worry, we’ll help you restore order to your WordPress layout!
Here are the common suspects behind this layout mischief:
New Plugin Mischief: Any newly installed plugins might be interfering with your theme’s styling. So make sure to check any new plugins installed recently. You can disable them one at a time until you find the particular plugin causing the issues.
HTML Tag Mayhem: Unclosed or extra HTML tags can create unexpected structural hiccups.
CSS Misdirection: Incorrect CSS settings might be accidentally pushing elements out of place.
Before starting any detective work, always create a backup of your site! It’s your safety net in case of any unexpected twists.
11. Incorrect File Permissions
Don’t let lax WordPress permissions be your website’s downfall! Incorrect settings unlock vulnerabilities, acting as an open invitation to hackers.
Treat security like a fortress, not a flimsy shack. Tools like FTP clients, cPanel, or even a plugin like the ‘WordPress File Permissions Plugin’ can help you tighten things up.
Remember, the golden rule is minimum viable permissions: grant just enough for your site to hum along while slamming the door on potential intruders. Experts recommend 600 for sensitive files like wp-config.php, ensuring only the owner holds the key.
Don’t underestimate the power of a single misplaced permission setting – safeguard your website with the vigilance it deserves!
12. Locked out of WordPress Admin
Did you lose your password? Install a faulty plugin? Were you hacked? Let’s get you back in so you can figure it out.
Do you think you got Hacked? Add a New Admin: If you suspect a breach, create a new admin user directly in the database via cPanel’s PHPMyAdmin tool. Follow detailed instructions online for secure steps.
Did you lose your Password? Seek Help: Reach out to WordPress support for password recovery assistance.
Think it’s a Faulty Plugin? Disable One by One: Isolate a problematic plugin by temporarily deactivating all at once, and reactivating one at a time to identify conflicts.
How do we Prevent Future Lockouts?
Strong Passwords: Use unique, complex passwords and enable two-factor authentication for added security.
Regular Updates: Keep WordPress, plugins, and themes updated for the latest security patches.
Backups: Maintain regular backups to quickly restore your site in case of issues.
By following these proactive measures, you can safeguard your WordPress site and ensure smooth access to your WP admin area.
13. WordPress Is Not Sending Emails
Missing those crucial WordPress notifications? Don’t fret, email woes can be easily fixed. After all, communication is key!
Let’s get this fixed:
Silent notifications? Your server’s configuration or spam limitations by your hosting provider could be the culprits. Check-in with your host to see if this is the problem.
The fix? Add an SMTP plugin! These handy tools use a different protocol to send emails, ensuring they reach your inbox.
Connect with ease: Most plugins offer seamless integration with Gmail, Office 365, and other email providers.
No more missed notifications, just smooth sailing with SMTP plugins. Get connected and stay informed!
14. Too Many Redirects Errors.
Are we lost? Stuck in a loop of too many redirects?
It’s like getting caught in a revolving door—frustrating, but fixable! Here’s how to break free:
1. Check Your URLs:
Head to the WordPress admin area, and click on Settings > General.
Examine the URLs carefully. Try adding or removing the “www” part, as this simple tweak often resolves the issue.
2. Plugin Timeout:
If URL adjustments don’t work, consider plugin conflicts. Deactivate all active plugins one by one, reactivating them to identify any troublemakers.
3. Seek Hosting Guidance:
If the above steps don’t lead to a breakthrough, reach out to your hosting provider for expert assistance. They can delve deeper into server-level settings and help you get back on track.
Remember: Redirection issues can be like tangled wires—sometimes you need a helping hand to unravel them. Don’t hesitate to seek support when needed!
15. Image Upload Issues
Images refusing to upload or disappearing altogether? Don’t worry, image issues often arise from simple permission problems.
What’s happening:
Upload woes: Images refuse to upload, leaving you with empty spaces.
Missing masterpieces: Images vanish from your site, leaving broken links and frustrated viewers.
The Cause:
Incorrect file permissions! These determine who can access and modify your WordPress files, and when they’re wrong, your images become inaccessible.
The Fix:
Reach out to your hosting provider: They have the tools to adjust permissions on their servers and get your images back in the spotlight.
FTP client to the rescue: Download an FTP client and connect to your website.
Correct permissions in wp-content/uploads: This folder holds your images, so give them the proper access rights.
Don’t forget! Regular backups are your safety net. This ensures you can quickly restore your site and images even if something goes wrong.
16. Maximum Execution Time Exceeded Error
Stuck in “update purgatory” with WordPress? That dreaded “time limit exceeded” error might have you pulling your hair out. Don’t worry, we’ve got this:
Why it happens: WordPress guards itself against malicious scripts by setting time limits for updates (usually 30-60 seconds). If things take longer, POOF! Time limit error.
The quick fix: Deactivate the problematic plugin. Often, the culprit is one rogue extension hogging too much time.
But what if you love that plugin? Then grab your trusty FTP client and edit the .htaccess file. Add this line: php_value max_execution_time 300. Start with 300 seconds, bump it to 600 if needed.
Remember: Increasing execution time isn’t ideal for security, so only do it for a trusted plugin and keep an eye on things.
17. WordPress keeps logging me out.
You thought you were at the entrance, turns out you’re in the alley.
Does it feel like WordPress is playing games? Don’t worry, we’ll help you stay logged in and get back to business!
Here’s the scoop:
WordPress uses cookies (like those delicious snacks, but digital) to keep you logged in. But if the URL you’re using doesn’t match the one in your settings, it’s like trying to open a door with the wrong key—you’ll get locked out.
The fix:
Head to Settings: Navigate to the Settings tab in your WordPress admin account page.
Choose General: Select the General tab.
Verify the URL: Double-check that the URL displayed there matches the one you’re using to access your site. Fix any inconsistencies, and voila! Your login cookies should now work as intended.
Don’t forget:
Clear Cache and Cookies: If the issue persists, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies.
Check Plugins: In rare cases, plugins might interfere with login sessions. Temporarily deactivate active plugins to rule out conflicts.
Stay logged in and stay productive!
18. 500 Internal Server Errors
500 series errors are internal timing errors. This enigma may stem from conflicting plugins or poorly coded themes. Internal server errors (often 500s) can occur for various reasons – not enough memory, plugin/theme issues, or .htaccess trouble. To fix it, pinpoint the exact cause by checking your PHP error logs (through your hosting provider or Elementor’s System Info). Then, depending on the cause, try increasing memory (edit .htaccess or php.ini), disabling plugins, or switching to the default theme.
Lets talk about some specific 500 Errors you may see:
502 Bad Gateway Error
Stumbling upon “server too busy” errors? Don’t panic! Here’s the quick fix:
Refresh: Sometimes a simple reload does the trick.
Clear Cache: Cached data might be outdated, clogging the pipes. Clear your browser cache and try again.
Update: Ensure your themes and plugins are up-to-date to avoid compatibility issues.
Reach Out: If these steps don’t work, your hosting provider might be having hiccups. Give them a call!
With a swift reboot and some friendly support, you’ll be back exploring your website in no time.
503 Service Temporarily Unavailable
Staring at a blank page with a “503 Service Unavailable” message? Don’t fret! This temporary server shutdown doesn’t mean your website is gone forever. Here’s your quick guide to getting back online:
Possible Culprits:
Resource Overload: Your website might be demanding more resources than the server can handle, causing it to temporarily shut down.
Server Hiccups: Technical issues or maintenance on the server’s end could be the source of the downtime.
Plugin Conflicts: Faulty or incompatible plugins can sometimes trigger server overload.
Troubleshooting Tips:
Wait it Out: 503 errors are usually temporary, so give it a few minutes and try reloading the page.
Check Plugins: If the issue persists, deactivate all the plugins one by one to identify any potential conflicts. Make sure you reactivate all innocent plugins once you’ve found the problem.
Theme Check: Switch to the default WordPress theme to rule out theme-related issues.
Host Help: If all else fails, reach out to your hosting provider. They can diagnose server-level problems and get your website back up and running.
Remember: Patience and these simple steps are usually all it takes to overcome a 503 error. So, stay calm, take a deep breath, and your website will be back in business soon!
504 Gateway Time-out
Staring at a “504 Gateway Timeout” error?
This server hiccup, like other 500s errors, can have various causes, from plugin and theme conflicts to hosting issues and firewalls.
Here’s how to get back in the game:
Give it time: Sometimes, the server just needs a breather. Wait a few minutes, then try reloading.
Plugin detective: Deactivate plugins one by one to see if a rogue one is causing the timeout.
Theme switch: Swap to the default WordPress theme to rule out any theme-related glitches.
Host help: If the error persists, don’t hesitate to contact your hosting provider. They have the tools and expertise to diagnose server-level issues and get your website humming again.
19. 413 Request Entity too large
Stuck with the dreaded “Upload Failed” error when installing a new WordPress plugin or theme? Don’t fret, it’s often a matter of size restrictions! Here’s your quick fix:
Why it happens: WordPress sets limits on file size to keep things running smoothly. Sometimes, your shiny new plugin or theme simply outweighs its welcome.
Fix it like a pro:
Boost the Limit: Edit your functions.php file or .htaccess file to increase the maximum upload size. Remember, consult your hosting provider for specific values to avoid security risks.
FTP Bypass: Upload the file manually using an FTP client. It’s like sneaking in the back door with your suitcase overflowing with awesomeness.
Voila! With a little size adjustment, your new plugin or theme will be up and running in no time. Remember, always check your hosting provider’s recommendations for file size limits to ensure smooth sailing on your WordPress journey.
20. The Add Media Button Isn’t Working
And that doesn’t work for me. Let’s get that new content online.
You’ve got new content to add and the media library isn’t cutting it. You want the add media button up and working again ASAP! To get rid of this error you’ll have to identify the script causing the issues. Make sure you have a recent backup on hand (you should make one before every set of updates and any scheduled maintenance) just in case your attempts go sideways.
21. Website took too long to respond.
Why has your connection timed out? When your server gets overwhelmed, it might throw a “fatal error” memory limit issue. This is common on shared hosting plans with restricted memory. To give your website some breathing room, try:
– Boosting memory: Edit .htaccess or php.ini files to increase the memory limit.
– Taming plugins: Deactivate plugins one by one to identify any memory-hogging culprits.
– Simplifying themes: Switch to the default WordPress theme to rule out theme-related issues.
Resilience and Resourcefulness
Errors are a natural part of the digital landscape, and WordPress is not excluded, but they need not derail your creative journey.

PMO is an essential practice for ensuring that websites are operating at their peak performance to help reduce downtime, improve user experience, and optimize resource utilization by ensuring that website resources are being used efficiently (instead of all your space being tied up in one single massive picture file.)
Don’t let your site’s performance kill your business.
Your website is just as important as any storefront. If your store had broken lights, slow service, and dirty shelves people wouldn’t come and shop with you. Your website is like that store.

Security updates
Shield your online presence from evolving threats with regular security updates.
In our interconnected world, websites are essential for businesses and individuals alike. They serve as virtual storefronts, communication hubs, and repositories of valuable information. This digital presence exposes you and your business to a barrage of cyber threats from hackers and malicious actors who are constantly devising new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and compromise websites making it crucial to prioritize website security updates.
Website security updates are like patches for your website’s armor. They address newly discovered vulnerabilities and protect your website from emerging threats. Security updates often include bug fixes, security patches, and software updates for plugins, themes, and core website framework. Neglecting security updates can have severe consequences.
Check website security off your monthly list by partnering with Modernize My Site.
Broken Links killing your SEO?

WordPress hosting problems
Possible reasons for encountering website not loading issues
Encountering website not loading issues can be attributed to a myriad of reasons, ranging from server downtimes at the hosting company to plugin conflicts within a WordPress site. Incorrect configurations in files such as .htaccess, wp config php files, or an renamed old file can lead to pages not loading properly.
It’s essential to diagnose the actual issue systematically to ensure a smooth user experience on your WordPress website. This guide will help you narrow down the actual reason your WordPress website is having errors.
Back up your WordPress site
Backing up your WordPress website is a crucial step every site owner should routinely undertake. A good rule of thumb is to set your site to automatically backup weekly.
Ensuring you have a recent backup helps protect your website from your content, themes, and plugins having unexpected issues or loading problems.
There are several methods to create backups, but one of the most effective and user-friendly ways is by using plugins. All-In-One-WP-Migration is a popular choice that aids in both exporting and importing your entire WordPress site, making the loading process seamless.
Another highly recommended plugin is UpDraft Plus. Not only does it allow for comprehensive backups of your WordPress files, themes folder, plugins, and database, but it also provides options to schedule regular backups and store them on cloud services.
You can access these plugins through your wp admin dashboard. Always remember, in the world of content management systems and website builders, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Configure the right permalink settings
A WordPress site leans heavily on permalink settings to craft URLs for web pages. Misconfigurations here can prevent your site from loading correctly.
Fix: Head over to your WordPress dashboard, then go to Settings > Permalinks. Hit ‘Save Changes’ to refresh your settings, resolving many fatal error issues.
Deactivate the active theme to avoid theme conflicts
Theme Conflicts: Low-quality themes or those not up-to-date can clash with the latest WP version, affecting the page load.
Fix: Temporarily switch to the default WordPress theme. If the site loads perfectly, your active theme might be where the actual issue exists. This should help your WordPress website work properly.
Deactivate plugins to check for outdated plugins
Plugin Incompatibility: Outdated or conflicting plugins can hamper your WordPress site from loading properly.
Quick Test: Access the plugins folder through the cpanel file manager. Temporarily rename the folder, deactivating all the plugins. If issues resolve, a plugin is the culprit.
Detailed Diagnosis:
1. Activate each plugin one by one.
2. After each activation, check the WordPress page for loading issues.
3. Identify the plugin causing the loading issue and either update or replace it.
Fix the outdated WordPress version
Keeping your WordPress website up to date ensures that you have the latest security patches and functionality.
Fix: Update your site to the latest version of WordPress through the WordPress dashboard or via the help of your hosting providers.
Outdated Elements
Whether it’s outdated themes, outdated plugins, or an outdated WP version, keeping everything current is pivotal.
Fix: Regularly update themes, plugins, and the WordPress version to ensure compatibility and performance. You can find these in the WordPress dashboard.
Fix broken code
Encountering broken code on a WordPress website can be a nightmare. Whether it’s the dreaded “white screen of death” which looks like a blank screen stemming from broken shortcodes or the ramifications of incomplete WordPress updates, such issues can derail your WordPress site. Broken shortcode sometimes happens if a web developer had to stop editing something on a site and didn’t get a chance to update the shortcode.
Fix: For broken shortcode, it’s essential to first identify the problematic shortcode, often by revisiting recent edits or through tools that highlight syntax errors.
The inspect tool on Google Chrome is a great tool to identify syntax errors. Once identified, you can either modify the shortcode to its correct form or replace it with a functional equivalent.
Similarly, plugin conflicts are a common challenge. As plugins are developed by different authors, overlapping functions or scripts can interfere with one another, leading to a loading issue or worse.
Theme conflicts arise in a similar vein; an outdated or poorly coded theme can be incompatible with the latest version of WordPress or certain plugins, leading to unexpected errors.
Fix: Resolving plugin conflicts typically involves deactivating all plugins via the WordPress dashboard or the plugins folder. Afterward, reactivate each plugin one by one, checking the WordPress page for loading issues after each.
This step-by-step process can help pinpoint the conflicting plugin, allowing you to either update it or find an alternative.
Additionally, incomplete WordPress updates can leave a site with partial files in the file manager or mismatched versions, creating a perfect storm for broken code scenarios.
For anyone managing a WordPress website, understanding these potential pitfalls is key to maintaining a smooth and efficient content management system.
Fix: Navigate to the WordPress dashboard. Often, if an update didn’t complete, WordPress will notify you and might offer a chance to reinstall the update directly from the dashboard.
Also, visit your WordPress plugins and themes sections to ensure each is compatible with the latest version of WordPress. Sometimes, an outdated version of plugins or themes can interfere with the update process.
Update the PHP memory limit
Memory Limit Reached: WordPress sites often face a loading issue when the PHP memory limit is exhausted.
Fix: Increase the memory limit. The default php memory on WordPress is 32M. Edit the wp config.php file and edit the line: `define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);`
Alternatively, edit the MultiPHP INI Editor in cPanel. If needed, reach out to your hosting company for assistance.
Fix the memory exhaustion error
Memory Limitations: A frequently encountered hitch is the memory limit exhaustion error.
Diagnosis: Check for an error message indicating memory exhaustion.
Solution: Contact your hosting provider for a possible upgrade or solution.
Fix the database connection error from wp-config.php file
Database and Server Issues: Whether it’s the infamous database error, internal server error, or issues with the .htaccess file, these can be significant roadblocks.
Fix: Ensure the wp-config.php file has the correct database connection details. Make note of the database name within the wp-config.php just in case you need it for later.
Also, consider renaming and regenerating the .htaccess file from the WordPress admin dashboard.
Solve internal server error from .htaccess file
Corrupted .htaccess: Many WordPress website owners face this due to a faulty .htaccess file.
Fix: Access your server via FTP. Rename the .htaccess file and check your site. If it works, go to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress admin dashboard and click ‘Save Changes’ to generate a new .htaccess file.
Fix WordPress syntax error from function.php File
Syntax Issues: A mere wordpress syntax error or a parse error can break your entire website. Especially if they exist in the wp config.php file or functions.php.
Detecting Errors: Use line detection tools to identify broken codes or any syntax error.
Fix: Rectify the errors using a code snippet or through the cpanel file manager.
Set a longer limit for the maximum execution time
Execution time is how long a script is allowed to run. A low maximum execution time might lead to loading errors. The default maximum execution time on WordPress is 30-seconds.
Fix: Increase the time limit in the wp config.php file by adding: `set_time_limit(300);` You can find this in your cPanel file manager root directory.
Error Process
The error log within a WordPress website often arises due to various reasons, including plugin conflicts, outdated themes, or misconfigurations in core files.
The errors interface in cPanel showcases the 300 latest error log entries. These errors have the potential to impact your website’s performance. Therefore, this interface is a valuable tool for identifying and resolving issues like broken links and improperly set up web applications.
Fix: It’s important to systematically diagnose these errors by checking error logs, deactivating recent plugins, or reverting recent changes. Addressing the root cause, whether it’s updating a plugin or correcting a faulty code snippet, will ensure the smooth functioning of the website.
Contact Your hosting provider
WordPress Hosting Quandaries: Sometimes, the root of the problem lies not within WordPress but the hosting server.
This can be due to hosting server downtimes, issues with the WP repository requirements, or even temporary files causing hiccups.
Possible Problems:
Database connection error due to server-side issues.
Web host might have temporary files or hidden files causing conflicts.
Incompatibility with WordPress repository requirements.
Solution: Talk to your hosting company. They usually have the answers to the actual issues plaguing your WordPress website.
