A WordPress “Critical Error” usually means a plugin, theme, or piece of code has crashed your website. To find the exact cause, you need to check the error log in your hosting panel. If you can’t find it, your hosting support can assist you.
You can also enable WordPress debugging by editing the wp-config.php file. Once WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG are enabled, a file called /wp-content/debug.log will appear. This file shows the specific error causing the issue.
After identifying the problem, you can fix it by renaming the plugin or theme folder:
- Rename /wp-content/plugins/ to disable all plugins.
- Rename your theme folder inside /wp-content/themes/ to switch to a default theme.
Once the faulty plugin or theme is removed or deactivated, your WordPress site should start working again.
