WordPress is a content management system, which is also explicitly aimed at laymen and requires hardly any programming knowledge. However, when it comes to larger projects, it is still necessary to familiarize yourself with the system a bit more extensively. It is not uncommon for typical errors to cause a WordPress site to function only in a limited way or to be inaccessible altogether.

As a specialized WordPress service provider, we can offer you fast and individual support for all problems that may arise during the setup, configuration, care and maintenance of WordPress. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced user, as the complexity of a WordPress site increases, the risk of minor or major errors potentially increases. These must be avoided or quickly identified and remedied.

Among the most common beginner mistakes made in connection with WordPress are mainly the following:

• Image files too large
  If you only embed a few images into your WordPress site, this should not cause any problems. However, if there are numerous image files that you upload to the server, this may lead to longer loading times. To avoid this, always make sure to resize the images before uploading them.
• Too many extensions and plugins
  The more extensions plugins you include on your WordPress site, the more server capacity is used, which can also lead to slow loading times. It is advisable to ask yourself carefully with every new plugin whether it is really necessary. Often, especially beginners use numerous plugins for each individual function, which can be circumvented with a more clever selection of plugins. There are often more resource-efficient alternatives to single extensions or plugins that provide multiple functions.
• Waiver of backups
  Without regular backups, there is always a risk that a WordPress site will become unusable or even disappear completely, either due to an external attack or a technical error. With a backup, the page can be restored without any problems. Numerous plugins offer an easy way to create backups or even perform them automatically at regular intervals.
• Incorrect text formatting
  For texts that are inserted into a WordPress page from another writing program, it can happen that the formatting of the text is not taken over 1 to 1. In the best case, this only leads to incorrect representations on the page, but in the worst case, it can also cause the entire page to crash. In addition, formatted texts also often have a lot of unnecessary code that costs additional memory. If in doubt, you can highlight the formatted text in WordPress and then click the eraser icon to remove the formatting.

Even experienced WordPress users can reach their limits with complex projects. As a professional WordPress agency, we will help you with the implementation of your WordPress project and offer you individual advice. As an experienced WordPress service provider, we can competently support you even with more difficult problems and offer you fast help. Typical WordPress errors, for example, often occur in connection with SSL, which is often due to an outdated, or not yet registered certificate. Other typical problems related to WordPress include the following:

• Error while establishing a database connection
  When WordPress reports an error when establishing a database connection, it is often due to incorrect credentials. These are located in the main directory of the WordPress installation, in the file wp-config.php.
• There was a critical error
  A critical error can have many causes, which can only be fathomed on the basis of the concrete error message. In many cases, a faulty plugin is responsible for such an error. If in doubt, deactivate all plugins individually to find out where the cause of the error was.
• WordPress displays only a white page
  The phenomenon also known as “White Screen of Death”, where WordPress displays only a white page, can have numerous causes. To fix this error, you can try increasing the PHP memory limit, or disabling individual plugins one by one. If everything does not help, it is necessary to reinstall the WordPress core files.
