Troubleshoot Wordpress Errors

Check Error Logs on Server

If your web hosting plan uses cPanel check the public_html/error_log file by using File Manager or your FTP client. It provides very important error logging to issues you may be experiencing with your website.

If your web hosting plan uses DirectAdmin check the logs by opening your File Manager or connecting via FTP and navigating to domains/your-domain.com/logs (replace your-domain.com with the domain you are having issues with) and review the logs for any errors.

Enable Wordpress Debugging

Either open File Manager through your web hosting control panel or login via FTP and locate your wp-config.php file. Open the file using File Manager or using your favorite code editing software (if using FTP).

To Enable WP_Debug, change the last line to: define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true ). To Disable WP_Debug, change the last line to: define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, false ).

Make sure you disable WP_Debug as soon as you are done troubleshooting
