How to Fix WordPress Themes Error?

1. My URL’s Are “Ugly”

By default the default WordPress url structure isn’t very “pretty” much less SEO-Friendly. So when you first setup your website URLS might look ugly (a mish-mash of the post ID, publish date, post title and even the category). Don’t worry – it’s easy to fix.

Ugly URLs Error Solution


So if your urls aren’t looking that great (yourwebsite.com/?p=1) simply go to Settings > Permalinks and change your setting to the “Post Name” option (or any of the others – just choose the one that best works for you).

2. My Posts Are Returning 404 Errors


If you have posts that are now returning a 404 error page, don’t panic (yet) most of the time your posts are still there and you just need to update your permalink settings to fix the issue. This is very common with themes that use custom post types. Whenever you activate a new theme that uses custom post types you should reset your permalink settings.

Posts Showing 404 Error Solution

The simplest fix is to just go to Settings > Permalinks and click the save button. Usually this will do the trick. But if this doesn’t work you might have to update your .htaccess file manually (note: we do not recommend tackling this on your own if you’re brand new to WordPress, instead you might need to contact a freelance developer for assistance).

3. My Menu Is Blank

For those who use WordPress on a daily basis you will likely not have this issue, but if you are very new to WordPress or you used WordPress a few years ago and just getting back it you might be confused as to why your menu is blank when you install the theme.

Missing Menu Error Solution


The default WordPress theme has a fallback for the WordPress menu in case there isn’t any setup, however, not all theme developers have added this to their own themes.

To make sure your menus are working, head over to Appearance > Menu to setup your menu.

  1. Make sure you have a menu. If you don’t, you’ll need to create one.
  2. Make sure the menu is assigned to a location. Below your menu you should see “Display Locations” – these are the menu areas built into your theme. Some themes may only have one main menu location, others might have tons of locations. Just be sure to check the option for where you want your menu to appear then save.

Fix restore completed, but 'Critical Error on WordPress Website' when going in WP-ADMIN

  Steps to Fix Critical Error WordPress Website : 1. I backed up the website using UpdraftPlus, and downloaded all of the 8 files. 2. I changed DNS to point to the the new nameservers and went to bed. 3. I woke up, and saw a plain vanilla WordPress site. Installed UpgradePlus, and uploaded all 8 files 4. I ran restore, which seemed to complete correctly. Was not prompted for “search and replace site location in the database”. Perhaps because the domain name is the same?? 5. When I attempt to login to the site /wp-admin I get “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” Tried different browsers, cleared cache, etc but all come up with same error when going to /wp-admin Call  +1-857-342-2365 for help and support.
