Like everything else, sometimes you will experience problems that need fixing. WordPress is no different and good website management involves knowing how to troubleshoot and fix common errors and problems with your website. This section of the WordPress Management Tutorials module contains tutorials on how to troubleshoot and fix common WordPress errors.

Some tutorials in this module may require editing your WordPress template or server files. If you need help modifying template or server files please contact a professional or experienced WordPress user for assistance (learn where to get help with WordPress).

Important: Always do a backup of your WordPress site (files and data) before modifying any files. If you don’t want to perform site backups, then hire a professional service, or use a backup plugin.
