"There has been a critical error on this website"
Have you faced this on your website before?
A client of mine reached out to me that her website is having some technical issues, and the hosting platforms have been helping her, but the problem is from one place to another
I run a check on the website, and I can see a PHP error breaking the site.
So I sorted out the issues of CRITICAL ERROR and the website is back to live, but after sorting it out i notice that the website brought out another issues which says SERVER ERROR 403 when I'm trying to publish a post, lastly the WPFORM was malfunctioning and it shows "heads up! Something went wrong while saving the form. Luckily, all this problem was sorted out in time.
I have been helping clients on this kind of issue most of the time, but I decided to drop this quick solution here now,
What happen when these CRITICAL ERROR occurs?
This message in WordPress usually means a PHP error is breaking the site, often caused by a plugin, theme conflict, or corrupted core file.
Here’s an opinion based on the solution approach:
A good first step when dealing with a critical WordPress error is to first disabled all plugins in file managers.
