The king of common errors: Syntax errors

Unlike other hidden errors, what’s different about syntax is that the source of the problem is easy to detect. This issue occurs when there is a problem in the coding of your website.

The source of error is right in front of you when the website page loads and a simple message is run instead of the actual contents of the site.

A parse message clearly states where the error has occurred, so you can go to the zip file and find the line. In the next step, all you need to do is fix the code and your site will be good to go.

The missing case of a stylesheet

Not being able to find and drop a newly installed Theme is one of the basic errors that gets fixed without much of a hassle.

Distinctions of Homepage and Demo Page

Wouldn’t your mind juggle if you see a different view of the theme than what was expected? The most common cause her is an error in the reading settings of themes.

You fix it by looking into settings—-> reading and further on “Front page displays”. With or without a template, make sure your site has a static homepage. It helps the developer read the website requirements better.

The culprit of 404 error

Facing a 404 error? No need to be panicking around, the website just needs an update in the permalink phase.

You must be wondering when all the codes are running fine, how did this error occur? However, codes are the worst case scenario, the common issue lies in using custom themes.

The mystery of a blank menu

This error probably occurs with a novice WordPress user. Fixing a blank menu page would be an event to panic if you have just started off as a website.

The simplest way to fix this is, first do not panic and second look for Appearance—> Menu. Be sure there are two things present over the system.

One is the menu itself and the other one is to have a dedicated location assigned to the menu. As you would want to make it appear from a specific path only.

Sticking the site’s sidebar at one place

There are a lot of errors occurring in the display section of a website. A sidebar is one of the victims which may have moved above or below your main content.

Sounds clumsy already, doesn’t it? This could be due to any alteration in the code assigned to the themes. So we suggest if you have altered any code manually, try setting it back to default.

Admin Access Denied: Locked out of the box

Till now we were all about technical glitches, here is something that is out of the box. What happens when you can no longer access your WordPress admin rights? The most common solution we all know is getting the login details in your email id.

However, if by any reason this not your kind of solution, then you can reset the password through phpMyAdmin. This should be the last option to restore any of your login credentials.
