WordPress Troubleshooting
WordPress Troubleshooting & Bug Fixing
Diagnose and fix WordPress errors, broken layouts, and plugin or theme conflicts on an existing website.
Something that used to work has stopped — a plugin update broke a section of the site, an error message appeared out of nowhere, or the dashboard itself is behaving strangely. Most of these problems trace back to a specific conflict or change rather than being random.
We start by reproducing what you're seeing and working backward from there through the plugins, theme, and recent changes involved, rather than applying a generic fix and hoping.
A surprising number of WordPress errors trace back to a plugin update that shipped a change nobody expected, or two plugins that individually work fine but conflict with each other once both are active. Error logs and the browser console usually narrow this down quickly, but only if someone actually reads them in the context of what changed recently — which is exactly why the timing of an issue (what was updated, and when) is one of the first things worth knowing.
If the issue is specifically about WooCommerce store functionality or WPML translations, WooCommerce Troubleshooting or WPML Troubleshooting will get you a more focused fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
My site shows a white screen — can you fix that?
Yes, we can investigate white-screen and critical-error situations.
Something broke after I updated a plugin — is that something you handle?
Yes, we can investigate conflicts that appear after a plugin, theme, or WordPress update.
Do you need to see the error to fix it?
Being able to reproduce or view the error can make diagnosis easier, but we can start from a description if needed.
Will you need admin access?
In most cases, yes — we'll request only the access needed to investigate and apply the fix.
What if the issue turns out to be a WooCommerce, WPML, or security problem specifically?
If the investigation points to a store-, translation-, or security-specific cause, we'll let you know and can continue under the relevant service.
Can you fix an issue that only happens intermittently?
Intermittent issues are harder to pin down but not impossible — details like time of day, specific pages, or specific user actions help narrow down the cause.
What if the fix requires updating a plugin you recommend removing?
We'll explain the trade-off clearly and let you decide — removing or replacing a plugin is your call, not something done without discussing it first.
