Potential WordPress Site Maintenance Issues
Today, a wide array of individuals and enterprises discover value in building and publishing websites. Some common WordPress issues sometimes challenge new web developers. Additionally, visitors to your online sites may encounter obstacles preventing them from connecting to your domain that relate to their online access methods. Consider seeking professional WordPress support services if any of these issues interfere with your seamless website maintenance (or your site’s online availability):
Issues Involving Website Maintenance
Both website owners and their visitors sometimes encounter issues involving site maintenance or the payment of website hosting fees. Additionally, people seeking to access WordPress sites on the Internet sometimes encounter connectivity issues that prevent them from viewing online websites.
Removing “Spam” Links
Webmasters maintaining WordPress sites need to perform maintenance in order to ensure their sites remain accessible and plugins operate correctly. One of the most useful types of maintenance involves reviewing comments supplied by site visitors. Consider removing any “spam” links. Taking this action usually improves page load speeds.
Resolving Account Lockouts
Many potential causes exist for Administrative Account lockouts, including malware, computer viruses, hacking, and the non-payment or late payment of website hosting fees. Contact your website hosting service or your IT technical services department for assistance resolving this complex issue.
White “Screen of Death” Issues
If instead of your website, you see only a “white screen of death” when you attempt to log onto your site, you may have sustained an Administrative Account lockout due to nonpayment or late payment of hosting fees. Alternatively, your website hosting company’s server may have sustained damage or been taken down for some reason. In some cases, a site developer may discover problems with WordPress plugins utilized on the site. Essentially, an issue of some type prevents the display of your WordPress platform website. Check with your website hosting firm or the person in your IT technical services department responsible for maintaining your company server if you cannot resolve the problem by deleting WordPress plugins you placed on your website.
Connectivity Issues
Sometimes website visitors encounter problems connecting to websites while surfing the Internet. Online visitors with personal computers or laptops utilize a variety of technologies for accessing online resources, including dial up modems, Broadband, DSL lines, and satellite connections. Obtaining online access requires paying an Internet Service Provider for Internet connectivity.
Today, large numbers of website visitors connect to the Web through mobile devices. In some situations, businesses purchase WiFi hotspots that furnish free wireless access to their customers within limited ranges. For example, smart phones permit wireless online connectivity.
If you encounter a connectivity issue while using your computer or mobile device to access the Internet, such as a “connection timed out” message, you should consider obtaining assistance from your Internet Service Provider or cell phone signal carrier. Websites, including sites built using WordPress, do not “time out”. They remain available as long as the website receives hosting services.
In some cases, a server hosting a website may issue a “server timed out” message to indicate to visitors that a problem prevents the establishment of a connection. The server timed out message also may occur when a visitor endeavors to establish a connection with an IP address that does not lead to an online server. In this situation, as a website owner, you may wish to consider upgrading your plan with your website hosting service if your site visitors encounter this error message frequently.
