The .htaccess file is a configuration file for storing rules that control your web servers like redirects, password protection, permalinks and etc. This file is created after setting up the permalinks through the WordPress admin dashboard. If the .htaccess file is not created after setting up the permalinks, we will show you how it can be created manually:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, go into the document root of your WordPress website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cd \/var\/www\/html\/<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Using your favorite editor create the file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nano .htaccess<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Paste the following lines of code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"># BEGIN WordPress\n\nRewriteEngine On\nRewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]\nRewriteBase \/\nRewriteRule ^index\\.php$ - [L]\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d\nRewriteRule . \/index.php [L]\n\n# END WordPress\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save the file, and close it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;.htaccess&#8221; code can be found at the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/htaccess\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">official WordPress site<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-403-forbidden-access\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-403-Forbidden-access\"><\/span>2. 403 Forbidden access<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"433\" height=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-fix-common-errors-in-wordpress.png\" alt=\"how to fix common errors in wordpress\" class=\"wp-image-40031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-fix-common-errors-in-wordpress.png 433w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-fix-common-errors-in-wordpress-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how-to-fix-common-errors-in-wordpress-150x58.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 403 Forbidden access means that the request is accepted by the server, but the server refuses to authorize it. The reason for this can be incorrect file or folder permissions, corrupted .htaccess file, or some plugin. To be sure about the file and folder permissions, you can set them to the correct one with the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, be sure that you are in the document root of your website<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cd \/var\/www\/html\/\n\nchown -R www-data:www-data .\n\nfind . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \\;\n\nfind . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \\;\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The folders are with 755 and the files are with 644, while both are owned by the &#8220;www-data&#8221; user and group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the .htaccess is corrupted then it is a good practice to recreate it or to restore it from the backup on the server or if you have it locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with plugins can easily be solved, by deactivating the plugins temporarily. To deactivate the plugins follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter in the WordPress plugins directory<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cd \/var\/www\/html\/wp-content<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Rename the plugins directory<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">mv plugins plugins.backup<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Refresh the page and access your admin dashboard. Once everything is OK, go back on your server and revert the name from <b>plugins.backup<\/b> to <b>plugins<\/b> again. Enable the plugins one by one and see which one is the culprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Error-Establishing-a-Database-Connection\"><\/span>3.

This error means that the client was able to connect to the host, but the requested resource on the server is not returned or is not found. This error is related to the WordPress site permalinks and as we described a couple of steps above that the permalinks are stored in the .htaccess file. It is a good practice if you have .htaccess from backup to compare the content of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Connection-Timed-Out-Error\"><\/span>6.

Your WordPress website is trying to load but after some time it gives up and that is why you are getting this message. The possible solution may be to optimize your WordPress by removing some unnecessary plugins, increasing the PHP memory limit, optimizing your web server, or upgrading to a higher hosting plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-White-screen-of-Death\"><\/span>7.

There are no messages, as on the issues described above, and that is why we are going to provide you with some useful steps, on how to start to debug this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>1. Activate the Debug mode to true<\/b>: Try to activate the debug mode in the <b>wp-config.php<\/b> file and try to refresh the page to see if some errors will appear on the website. If the screen is still white proceed with the next suggestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>2. Memory Limit<\/b>: Increase the memory limit in the php.ini configuration file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>3. Disable the plugins<\/b>: If increasing the memory limit does not help, disable the plugins as is described in the second common issue about &#8220;403 Forbidden access&#8221;. Refresh the page again and if the website is loaded then try to enable the plugins one by one and that way you will detect which one is the culprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Disable the theme:<\/strong> If disabling the plugins does not help, log in to your server and disable your active theme. If the screen is still white then you need to contact your hosting provider in order for them to see what is the issue with your WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it. We tried to explain the most common WordPress errors that may occur on every client&#8217;s server and the possible solutions.
