How to Fix The Critical Error in WordPress (Step by Step)
A critical error in WordPress is an error that stops WordPress from loading all the scripts it needs to work correctly. It is generally caused by a malfunctioning plugin, script, or code that prevents WordPress from functioning correctly. Due to the malfunctioning code, WordPress is unable to load the files it needs. If you recently copied and pasted code snippets from a tutorial to your website, they might trigger a critical error. All top WordPress plugins are thoroughly tested, so they are less likely to cause a critical error. However, a conflict with another WordPress plugin or some custom code may trigger the error.
If you are seeing the critical error on your WordPress site, WordPress may sometimes show an error message saying, ‘There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.’ It will also include a link to the WordPress debugging guide.
Here are some steps you can take to fix the critical error in WordPress:
1. Check your email: WordPress sends an email to the admin email address of your website. This email includes more details about the plugin or theme causing the error and a link to access your WordPress dashboard in recovery mode. If you didn’t receive the WordPress critical issue notification email, you can try enabling debugging by following [this guide].
2. Disable plugins: If the error was caused by a recent action you took, then you can undo that action to fix the issue. You can also try disabling all plugins and then re-enabling them one by one to identify the problematic plugin.
3. Switch to a default theme: If the error persists, you can try switching to a default WordPress theme to see if the error is caused by your current theme.
4. Contact your hosting provider: If none of the above step's work, you can contact your hosting provider for assistance.
