As such, we recommend that you start your troubleshooting with a few general strategies that might solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can start by <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-clear-cache\/\">clearing your cache<\/a>. A cache helps your browsers load sites faster by storing data. Clearing it helps you get rid of outdated content, which may be enough to fix your issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also consider <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/update-wordpress-safely\/\">updating your theme, plugins, and WordPress core<\/a>. Similarly, if you&rsquo;ve run into an error after downloading a new plugin or theme, deactivating it might do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we suggest that you <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/backup-a-wordpress-site-for-free\/\">keep constant backups of your site<\/a>. If a fatal error can&rsquo;t be fixed, these copies can help you restore your page without losing too much information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"ti-tweet-clear\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div

However, this process can fail, leading to a <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-crashed\/\">crashed WordPress website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this happens, the best solution is simply to update your site manually.

Then, reactivate them one at a time until you find the resource-heavy program. You might also want to switch to a default WordPress theme, although <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/wordpress-themes\/\">quality themes<\/a> shouldn&rsquo;t cause this issue.

This can prevent you from updating your core files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, there&rsquo;s no do-it-yourself solution to these errors.

If you&rsquo;ve recently added or updated a plugin, try deactivating it to find out if it&rsquo;s the culprit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This problem may also be caused by incorrect <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-file-permissions\/\">file permissions<\/a>. Thus, we recommend that you change your <em>uploads <\/em>permission to 755. If this doesn&rsquo;t fix your images, consider conducting a security sweep and contacting your hosting provider for help.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-15-file-type-or-page-access-not-permitted\">15. File type or page access not permitted<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/fix-sorry-this-file-type-is-not-permitted-for-security-reasons\/\">Some file types are not permitted by WordPress for security reasons<\/a>. In most cases, this prevents hackers from gaining unauthorized access to your data. Nevertheless, this can also prevent users from uploading harmless files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To configure your site to allow additional file types, you can use a free plugin like <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/file-upload-types\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">File Upload Types<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-16-wordpress-syntax-errors\">16. WordPress syntax errors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Syntax errors occur when something goes wrong with your code&rsquo;s structure. This is unlikely to happen spontaneously. More likely, it will happen in one of two situations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You recently <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/adding-html-to-wordpress\/\">added some custom code<\/a> to your site that included a syntax error, maybe by accidentally making a typo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You installed a new plugin or theme that introduced a syntax error.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, the syntax error will specify the exact file\/line that&rsquo;s causing issues, which you can use to troubleshoot the problem. If you aren&rsquo;t able to figure it out, a good first step is to revert any recent code changes or new plugins\/themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-error-log-debug\/\">turn on WordPress debug mode<\/a> to help you track down the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-17-ssl-errors\">17. SSL errors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An SSL certificate is a simple and effective way to keep your site safe. In fact, most quality hosts even <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/free-ssl-hosting\/\">offer them for free<\/a>. However, the process can be complex, and may occasionally result in a few different errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to avoid them is by setting up your certificate correctly the first time. You can do this by using your host&rsquo;s built-in SSL certificate installer tool, which most hosts offer. Beyond that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make sure you&rsquo;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/add-wordpress-https\/\">properly configured your WordPress site to use HTTPS<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/renew-ssl-certificate\/\">renew your SSL certificate<\/a> if your host doesn&rsquo;t handle this for you (<em>most hosts will do it automatically, though<\/em>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re still running into issues with your host&rsquo;s SSL certificate, consider contacting customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-18-corrupted-database\">18. Corrupted database<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If a file has become corrupt, your WordPress site won&rsquo;t be able to use it. This can lead to an &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/error-establishing-database-connection-wordpress\/\">Error Establishing Database Connection<\/a>&rdquo; error or other glitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to solve this is by <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/restore-wordpress-from-backup\/\">restoring a backup<\/a> of your site. Afterward, your site should function as normal. You could also open your <em>wp-config.php<\/em> file and add the following code to the bottom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lsquo;WP_ALLOW_REPAIR&rsquo;, true\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After WordPress processes this code, your site should return to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-19-destination-folder-already-exists\">19. Destination folder already exists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When installing a plugin or theme, you may run into a <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/fixing-destination-folder-already-exists-error\/\">&ldquo;Destination folder already exists&rdquo; error<\/a>. The installation will fail, and you&rsquo;ll see a message similar to this one:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img

Even if you&rsquo;ve previously deleted it, sometimes the folder will remain on your site and cause errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To resolve this issue, use your FTP client to open your <em>wp-content<\/em> folder. Then, find the folder with the program&rsquo;s name, delete it, and reattempt your installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note &ndash; in recent versions of WordPress, WordPress gives you the option to reinstall a theme or plugin even if it already exists.
