Individually
It usually feels annoying whenever we open a
website and encounter an error, isnt it? This
happens with our visitors too who come to our
site but couldnt get the required information.
In that case, their bad experience results in
our bounce rate increment thus, terrible site
reputation. These errors are of different types,
some are in the 100s category, some in 200s, and
so on. Though it may look like an intricate task
to deal with, it

isnt actually the same. All you need to do to
fix this is to carry out investigative work and
figure out the root cause of the problem. Once
you have done this, the only activity left is to
troubleshoot the problem and then your site is
ready once again for your audience. In this blog
post, we will sift through most common wordpress
errors and its solutions so you can bring your
site back to serviceable state. But before you
enter the list, I would like you to be conversant

out of the way, lets have a look at what HTTP
error codes actually are and the five categories
in which they fall. What Is An Error Code In
WordPress? When a visitor lands on a site or
clicks on a page link, their browser sends a
request to the server to access the information.
In the meanwhile, if they find some issue with
the server all that they get is an error code
or a status code. This represents the problem
that has actually occurred and each error has a
different meaning. You can use the displayed
response to understand the reason why your page
isnt rendering well. Here, we have divided the
common WordPress error codes into five
categories. Lets check out each of them one by
one 1. 1XX

• Error codes in the 100s form are the informative
  codes that means the request sent by the browser
  is received by the server and now it is working
  on it.
• 2XX
• Codes in the 200s lineup signals that the request
  sent by the web browser has been successfully
  perceived, received, and accepted by the server.
• 3XX
• Status codes that are of 300s class are the
  redirection codes that resemble further action
  is required.
• 4XX
• Code that lies in this department passes the
  information about a client or browser error and
  describes that the request has bad syntax or the
  server is not able to suffice it.
• 5XX
• 500s pattern codes denote internal server errors
  that happen when the server is not able to
  execute a valid request.
• While being educated about all the errors listed
  above is important for you, we will be focussing
  on the last two categories only, specifically
  400, 401, 403, 404, and 500 error codes. The
  reason? These are the WordPress errors you
  generally come across while browsing the
  internet.

started! How To Correct Common WordPress
Errors Before you learn about generally known
error codes, I recommend taking a backup of your
site, so you can look back at something if
anything goes wrong. 1. 400 Bad Request This
error message appears when the server isnt able
to fulfill the web browsers request. There are
several reasons for this to take place, however,
usually it refers to the invalid syntax in the
HTTP request. As far as common causes goes, a
404 Bad Request could emerge due to - an
incorrect URL, outdated cache, cookies of a
browser or when a file is larger than the max.
upload size of the site. Once you know the
possibilities for this error occurrence, first
check your URL if its correct and then try to
visit the site from another browser. If it works
you have made it and should move onto the issue
with your stored data.

Next, clear cache and cookies of your web
browser, for example, if you are a Google chrome
user just head over the menu icon in the upper
right corner and select More tools gt Clear
browsing data. Besides you can also try to
upload a smaller file if you feel it might be the
reason behind this status code. And if all your
attempt fails, the DNS cache might be the
problem maker - just clear it completely. Is
your WordPress website also displaying the 400
error code? Nothing to do much just get us on a
call and make us informed about the condition of
your site - we will act promptly. For a multitude
of years we have been dealing with everything
WordPress so it doesnt matter what you throw at
our Los Angeles web design company - website
development, maintenance or revival. 2. 401
Unauthorized Getting a 401 error simply
indicates that the server needs authentication to
complete browsers request. However, the process
didnt accomplish or incorrect credentials have
been entered. Most of the time what causes this
error to occur is a poorly configured plugin. To
check if thats the problem creator, I suggest
you disable all your WordPress plugins by
visiting your WordPress dashboard. Alternatively,
just go to the File manager of your hosting
account and rename your plugins folder (inside
wp-content directory) to plugins-disabled. Save
your changes and then hit the reload button to
refresh your page. If this works, start enabling
your plugins again one by one until you find the
one creating this problem.

• In case, you want to have a custom plugin for
  your website thats well-coded and a reliable
  tool, just be vocal about the same to our W
  ordpress developer experts team. We will
  understand first what business you are in, what
  site requirements you have, and what you want
  your plugin should do. All this would be enough
  for us to hand off a powerful, well-designed,
  and sustainable plugin that lives up to your
  expectations.
• 403 Forbidden
• The 403 Forbidden error code is the result when
  server permissions limits the access to a
  specific page of your site.
• Though it looks like the 401 Unauthorized code, a
  403 error code represents that the user has
  provided valid credentials, still the server is
  denying the request to access that page. This
  error could surface due to an incompatible
  plugin and you know we have already covered it
  above.
• Are you not able to fix this 403 Forbidden error
  yourself? Let us decide how to reach the
  solution - you just connect with us through phone
  or email to describe the issue. Keep it

  company has a slew of experts to look into the

• 404 Page Not Found
• Your WordPress website runs into this issue when
  one of its pages cant be accessed but the rest
  one is viewable.
• Broken links or changed URLs are the common
  reasons that trigger this error code. If you
  have performed any changes to your site of late,
  a good

7
starting point is to check your URLs whether or
not it is working properly. Once you have tested
your links, you can fix the issue by just making
it functional again. 5. 500 Internal Server
Error You may come across 500 Internal Server
Error when there is something wrong on the
server side. Sometimes you might not get an
error message when this issue occurs and be
presented with a blank white screen. A few common
causes of this error display is the problem with
.htaccess file or the exhausted memory limit. To
get rid of this status code, you need to check
whether your .htaccess file has become corrupted
by deactivating it. For that you have to look
for .htaccess file in the root directory on your
server (within public_html) through an FTP
client or the file manager of your hosting
account. Once you have found it, rename it as
.htaccess-disabled, then save the changes and
and try accessing your WordPress website
again. If it loads nicely, all you have to do is
generate a new .htaccess file. In case your
efforts didnt succeed, increase your sites PHP
memory limit by adding the snippet below to your
wp-config.php file define(WP_MEMORY_LIMIT,64M
) Instead of 64M you can also use 128MB or
256MB depending on your needs. Now save the
changes you just made and reload your site to put
it into effect. Recognize And Troubleshoot The W
