WordPress Error Repair for Critical Errors, Crashes & Broken Sites

Is your WordPress website showing “There has been a critical error,” a blank white screen, a database error, or a layout that suddenly fell apart?

Fix Website Issues (WevTEC) repairs broken WordPress websites for businesses in all 50 states. We find the real cause — a PHP fatal error, a plugin or theme conflict, a failed update, a database problem, a server limit or a hacked file — and fix it without rebuilding your website or losing your content.

Most common WordPress errors are fixed in 2–4 hours. You pay only after the work is done.

Fixes start at $50, every repair begins with a full backup, and you speak directly with the technician working on your site by phone, text, Zoom or Google Meet.

Definition

What Is WordPress Website Error Repair?

WordPress website error repair is the process of finding the technical cause of a WordPress failure — such as a PHP fatal error, a plugin or theme conflict, a failed update, a database error, a server limit or a malware infection — and fixing that cause so the website works normally again, without rebuilding the site or losing content.

A broken WordPress site is rarely a mystery. Every critical error, white screen, 500 error or collapsed layout comes from something specific: a plugin calling a function your PHP version no longer supports, a memory limit reached during a page load, a damaged table in the database, a bad rule in .htaccess, or code injected by an attacker. Our job is to find that exact point of failure, fix it properly and confirm the whole website works again — not only the page you noticed first.

If your website worked yesterday, it can usually be repaired today — no rebuild required.

Fix Website Issues has repaired 1,000+ websites since 2013. Repairs are done by our own technicians, and you pay only after the work is done.

Warning Signs

Signs Your WordPress Website Needs Repair

Some WordPress problems appear the moment an update finishes. Others build slowly until visitors leave or forms stop sending. If you see any of these, your website needs a technical review:

Repeatedly deactivating plugins, switching themes or restoring random backups can make the problem harder to trace — and can erase recent orders, leads and posts.

If your website takes payments, bookings or patient and client enquiries, call us before making changes yourself.

Common Errors We Fix

WordPress Errors We Diagnose and Repair

Each problem has a different cause and a different fix. Here is what each error usually means and how we repair it.

Critical & PHP Fatal Errors

“There has been a critical error on this website” usually means a plugin or theme threw a fatal PHP error, often after an update. We trace it to the exact file and line, fix or replace the failing code, and restore compatibility with your PHP version.

White Screen of Death

A blank screen with no message usually points to memory exhaustion or a silent fatal error. We check the server and PHP error logs, correct memory limits, and repair the theme, plugin or core files causing the crash.

Database Connection Errors

When WordPress cannot reach MySQL or MariaDB, the whole site goes down. We verify the database service, check the credentials and host in wp-config.php, and repair corrupted tables.

500, 502 & 503 Server Errors

Server errors come from a bad .htaccess rule, PHP timeouts, exhausted resources or a hosting configuration problem. We read the logs, correct the configuration and work with your host when a server-side change is needed.

Plugin & Theme Conflicts

Two plugins loading the same library, or a theme overriding code that changed in an update, can break features site-wide. We isolate the conflict safely, then fix, replace or reconfigure the component — not just switch it off.

Failed Updates & PHP Upgrades

Interrupted core updates leave a site stuck in maintenance mode or half-updated, and PHP 8.x upgrades expose outdated code. We complete or roll back the update and patch incompatible code so you can keep updating safely.

Login Loops, 403 & Lockouts

Correct passwords that loop back to the login page, 403 Forbidden screens or a lost admin account. We fix site URL and cookie settings, security keys, firewall blocks and user roles, and restore your administrator access.

Broken Layouts & Page Builders

Pages without styling, collapsed grids, or an Elementor or Divi editor that will not open. We fix mixed-content and REST API problems, regenerate CSS files and clear stale server and CDN caches.

Hacked Sites & Spam Redirects

Redirects to spam sites, unknown admin users or Google security warnings. We compare files against clean originals, remove backdoors and injected code, clean the database and harden the site.

Slow WordPress Websites

Heavy plugins, oversized images, missing caching or a bloated database can make WordPress slow. We measure what is actually slowing the site and fix it, instead of stacking more optimization plugins.

Forms & Email Not Sending

Contact forms that look fine but never deliver. We check form settings, SMTP and email authentication so enquiries reach your inbox again, then test every form on the site.

WooCommerce & Checkout Errors

Checkout failures, payment gateway errors or carts that empty after an update. We troubleshoot WooCommerce carefully so live orders and customer data stay protected.

Repair, Not Rebuild

Why Trial-and-Error Troubleshooting Makes WordPress Problems Worse

When a website crashes, the usual reaction is to disable every plugin, switch themes, reinstall WordPress or restore whatever backup the host has. Each of these can hide the real cause — or create new problems:

If a website worked yesterday, it can almost always be repaired today without starting over. A rebuild costs far more, takes weeks and can put the rankings you have already earned at risk.

Straight Answers

Why Did My WordPress Website Break After an Update?

Short answer

Why did my WordPress website break after an update?

Most update crashes happen because a plugin, theme or custom code is not compatible with the new version of WordPress, another plugin, or the PHP version on your server. The update itself usually works — the code that depends on it fails. The fix is to identify the incompatible component from the error log, then update, patch or replace it so the website runs on current, secure versions instead of being frozen on old ones.

Rolling back the update fixes the symptom for today. Fixing the incompatible code fixes it for good.

“Why does my WordPress site say there has been a critical error?”

“How do I fix the WordPress white screen of death?”

“Why can’t I log in to wp-admin?”

“Why is my Elementor page not loading?”

“How much does it cost to fix a WordPress website?”

“Can you fix my site if my developer disappeared?”

“Will fixing my website delete my content?”

“Why is my website redirecting to another site?”

We answer these questions on a live call — and then we fix the problem.

Quick Answers

WordPress Errors Explained in Plain English

Short, direct answers to the questions business owners ask most when their WordPress website stops working.

What does “There has been a critical error” mean?

WordPress caught a fatal PHP error and stopped loading the page to protect the site. The cause is almost always a specific plugin, theme or custom code file, which the error log identifies.

What causes the White Screen of Death?

Usually PHP memory exhaustion or a fatal error with error display turned off. The server and PHP error logs show which file failed and why.

What causes a database connection error?

Wrong database credentials in wp-config.php, a database server that is down or overloaded, or corrupted database tables.

Can a WordPress site be fixed without losing content?

Yes. Posts, pages, media and orders live in the database and uploads folder. We back up both before any repair and fix only the component that failed.

Is it safe to update plugins on a broken site?

Not until the cause is known. Updating blindly can trigger new conflicts. We identify the failing component first, then update in a controlled order.

Why does my site work for me but not for visitors?

Caching. Logged-in users often bypass the cache while visitors see an old or broken copy. Server, plugin and CDN caches must be cleared after the real fix.

When should I call for help instead of fixing it myself?

When the site handles sales, bookings or enquiries, when you are locked out of wp-admin, when Google shows a security warning, or when a fix you tried made things worse.
