WordPress Website: Common Mistakes and Why They Happen

 

WordP WordPress Website: Common Mistakes and Why They Happenress




In recent years, we noticed that fixing errors in wordpress sites has become very common here at the creation and development studio. With that in mind, we gradually became the right arm of professionals from different areas and positions, such as:

 

      Digital marketing and communication professional;

 

      Business and e-commerce managers;

 

      Design, web development, information technology professionals, etc.

 

In short, a good part of our support for these professionals started when they needed the guys from the studio to solve an error on the wordpress site.

 

Here, we highlight a point of attention that we identified over time serving these professionals:

 

We realize that many website development agencies don't bother to create a website that really works. At the end of the day, they are developing broken sites that it is practically impossible to make any changes without charging fees or absurd monthly fees.

 

Because of this, we decided to bring here on the blog some common mistakes of wordpress and why we are increasingly supporting managers and professionals who need a high-performance website to work on communication, marketing, and management of their brand or company.


 

Wordpress: Fixing bugs is sometimes not enough

 

Before explaining a little more about wordpress errors, it is important to keep in mind that WordPress is one of the most popular website platforms in the world and it is quite possible that you have already accessed one or even used it for your company or at work.

 

Despite its popularity, Wordpress can give us a lot of headaches, especially when it is not  created with high-level programming or following the practices of the Wordpress codex.

 

In this sense, a poorly programmed Wordpress will cause many setbacks, especially for brands and companies that understand that the right thing is to have a high-performance website to do well on the internet.

 

This is exactly why it is essential to hire qualified professionals to develop a website.

 

That is, the development of websites that deliver results should be done by professionals who understand ux&ui design, back-end, front-end, full-stack programming, and SEO. All this is so that there are no possible failures that could hinder the performance of your site over time.

 

While some wordpress problems are easy to fix, you can't ignore them, and acting quickly is always recommended. After all, having a website with poor functionality can make it obsolete, with your sales falling quickly and delivering a negative user experience.


 

Common Wordpress Mistakes:

 

There are several wordpress errors, however, three of them are very common and take the peace of many people.

 

      404 Not Found or White Screen of Death

 

It appears as a blank screen with no information and its signs are usually PHP or database errors. With that in mind, a good portion of the causes consists of compatibility issues with plugins or with the Wordpress theme itself, especially when the site's programming is not done according to Wordpress documentation.


 

Internal server error (500 internal server error)

 

One of the most confusing errors a Wordpress user can face. Overall, it indicates that there is a big problem, but the server the site is hosted on cannot identify it. Generally, a corrupted .htaccess file is the cause, however, there is the possibility of problems with themes or plugins used in the wrong way - most of the time it is because the responsible professional does not understand programming.

 

      403 Forbidden Error

 

In a nutshell, if your server does not allow access to a specific page, the 403 error will be shown to your website visitors. In summary, there are numerous causes of this error, some of which are:

 

      Misconfigured security plugins;

      Hosting error due to changes in server settings;

      Incorrect file permissions on the server;

      Corrupted .htaccess file etc.
