WordPress users may encounter various errors, but most are fixable with simple steps. Below are some common WordPress errors and their solutions:

1. White Screen of Death (WSOD):

This issue usually happens when there is a problem with a plugin or theme.

Fix:

• Deactivate all plugins by renaming the plugins folder via FTP.
• If the issue resolves, reactivate plugins one by one to identify the culprit.
• Switch to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-One) to check if the problem is theme-related.

2. Internal Server Error (500):

This can happen due to misconfigured .htaccess file or PHP issues.

Fix:

• Rename your .htaccess file to .htaccess_old and try reloading your site. If it works, regenerate a new .htaccess by going to Settings → Permalinks and clicking Save Changes.
• Check your PHP memory limit by increasing it in your wp-config.php file.

3. Database Connection Error:

This error is typically caused by incorrect database credentials in wp-config.php.

Fix:

• Double-check the database username, password, and host settings in your wp-config.php file.
• If you’re unsure about the database details, contact your hosting provider.
