WordPress® is one of the most commonly used blogging applications. While it's extremely popular, there are some common issues that you can fix in a matter of minutes.
Here are some common problems and our recommendations.
Cause: Every time a visitor goes to your WordPress blog, the server processes PHP scripts and establishes a database connection—in other words, it's doing a lot of work. The busier your Website is, the slower this process becomes.
Slow page loads are problematic as they discourage visitors from visiting your Website. The usual culprits are improperly configured or misbehaving plugins or using images that are hosted on other, slower servers.
Solutions:
Cause: If you manually installed WordPress into your hosting account (e.g. did not install it via Value Applications) and are getting an "Error establishing a database connection" message when trying to connect to WordPress, you need to modify your wp-config.php file to work with our Database servers.
Solution: See Why is WordPress unable to connect to my database during install?
Cause: Corrupted themes can cause blank pages to load, particularly if you migrated your blog from another hosting provider.
Solution: Change your theme back to the default, and then reinstall the theme you want to use.
Cause: Undetermined.
Solution: If you have tried the above procedure, you should enable WP_DEBUG
and WP_DEBUG_LOG
in wp-config.php file. The contents of the debug.log file can help you and your Website administrator narrow down the problem to a specific plugin, theme, or configuration option that might be causing a problem.
wp-config.php
file:
/wp-content/debug.log
