Common Causes of Syntax Errors in WordPress A syntax error may occur when you’ve pasted code incorrectly. Maybe you missed a portion when you copied the code or perhaps there is an extra closing tag at the end of the script. This is a PHP open tag: <?php, and this is a closing tag: ?>. When you copy and paste a PHP code snippet, it often includes the open tag, causing a syntax error.

Improve your WordPress SEO

 1. Incorporate Useful Internal and External Links Google and other search engines don’t consider your website in a vacuum. Instead, they look at how well it’s connected, both internally and to other sites.  Using plenty of links  throughout your posts and pages tells crawlers how they relate to similar content. It also encourages other people to link back to your site — which in turn communicates to search engines that  your content is valuable ! As with keywords, this is a strategy you’ll want to use carefully. If you cram too many links into your content or use a lot of links that point to irrelevant pages or exist only to promote products, your search engine rankings will likely suffer. Instead, look to incorporate links where they fit naturally, and to point readers towards high-quality websites that already rank highly in SERPs. Smart use of both  internal links  and  external links  is key to achieving the best SEO results possible. 2. Use...

How to fix errors of WordPress plugins and themes?

  Website migration : in such a case, try changing your PHP version , it should match with your previous hosting PHP version. If that doesn’t help, try to re-upload your website files.

How to fix WordPress Themes issues?

  1. Stylesheet Is Missing You’ve just downloaded or purchased a super awesome theme and you go to install it and see the lovely message below: Well your first thought might be… “the developer screwed me and gave me a theme without a stylesheet” Of course it is possible the zip file you received didn’t have a style.css file, but more likely the issue is you didn’t upload the  root theme  folder. Missing Stylesheet Error Solution Locate the folder you have of the theme on your desktop and open it (if it is zipped, unzip and open it).
