WordPress powers over 40% of the web, making it the most popular CMS in the world. However, even the best tools come with their challenges. If you’re running a WordPress website, chances are you’ve run into at least one of these common issues.
1. White Screen of Death (WSOD)
Problem: Your site loads as a blank white screen.
Solution: Deactivate plugins via FTP or File Manager, switch to a default theme, and increase the PHP memory limit.
2. Internal Server Error (500)
Problem: A generic error with no clear explanation.
Solution: Check for corrupt .htaccess files, increase PHP memory, or contact your host.
3. Error Establishing a Database Connection.

Solution: Check for corrupt .htaccess files, increase PHP memory, or contact your host.
4. Plugin Conflicts

Solution: Deactivate all plugins and reactivate them one by one to find the culprit.
5. Theme Compatibility Issues

Solution: Test themes in a staging environment before activating them live.
6. Broken Permalinks
