It’s easy to forget about your website until there’s a problem. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to troubleshoot and fix the issue without the right knowledge. These problems could range from not being able to log into your dashboard or blog, broken links, or coding issues that you aren’t familiar with. Luckily for you, we’ve put together 7 of our most common coding issues and how you can fix them.
How to fix the most common coding issues
Problem: Your website doesn’t load or is taking a long time to load.
Fix: Try refreshing the page. If it’s not loading, try clearing your browser cache.
Problem: Images don’t show up on your website.
Fix: Make sure you’re uploading an image with a file type of the image you want the code to be in.
Problem: You have broken links on your website that are directing to a 404 page or a different site altogether.
Fix: Try removing any unnecessary links from your site and re-saving them. If they still aren’t working, add in some additional coding to redirect users when they click on the link.
Problem: You can’t log into your dashboard or blog for WordPress or other CMSs
Fix: Check if you’ve typed in the URL correctly and make sure you’ve typed in the right username and password combination. If you’re still unable to login, contact technical support for assistance!
Problem: Your email address isn’t receiving emails sent by services like Mailchimp
Fix 1: Make sure you’ve entered your correct email address; double check that it’s spelled correctly, too! Fix 2: Add your domain name to your list of approved email domains (
Wrong code in your post
If you find that your post is not showing up on the blog, or if there is some other issue with the code on your blog, it may be because the wrong code was used.
You can fix this by editing the HTML of your post and making sure that you are using the correct coding for formatting. There are many ways to figure out what coding to use-just do an internet search for “HTML Codes.” You can even use a tool like HTMLCheatsheet if you’re not sure what to look for.
Broken links
Broken links can sometimes happen to anyone, but it’s important to take care of them as soon as possible. A broken link will send a visitor to a page that either doesn’t exist or has been updated. This means they may think the page is no longer available and click away from your website.
To fix this problem, you need to find the broken link and replace it with an updated URL. You might be able to do this by using the “Find” feature in your code editor, or by using Google search for copy-pasteable code.
Fixing a password issue
If you’re not able to log into your dashboard or blog, it may be because of a simple password issue. The most common way to fix this is by creating a new password and then updating it on your account.
You can create a new password from the dashboard or by going through the “forgot my password” process from the login page. Once you have a working password, update it on your account so you don’t have this issue again!
Fixing a login or dashboard issue
It may seem like your dashboard or login isn’t loading at all, but the most likely issue is that it’s loading too slowly. This is often caused by an overloaded site or a slow internet connection.
You can fix this issue by updating your browser settings, using a different browser, or using an iOS device. If none of those methods work for you, you may want to open up Chrome’s Developer Tools and reload the website from there.
Conclusion
You may not be a coder, but luckily, you don’t need to be one to fix the most common coding issues on your site. By following these simple steps to diagnose and correct your site errors, you can keep your blog up and running to keep your readers engaged.
