I had an issue with the IssueM plugin recently where it was causing some back-end error and Wordpress automatically deactivated it along with IssueM's Issue to PDF. I updated via recovery mode and disabled Issue to PDF (which isn't needed anyway and seems to be the source of the issue) and the back end is now working fine. HOWEVER, none of the articles seem to exist anymore when you visit the page. From within Wordpress admin they are all there and seem to be correct as best as I can tell. On the site the titles all show up, but when you click on any (or try to preview any) it gives a not found error.
My best guess is that because IssueM uses articles and wordpress base doesn't that when it got deactivated and reactived something sort of disconnected?
I've already tried repairing the database via /wp-admin/maint/repair.php and it doesn't help (or find any errors).
TL;DR: All articles are unable to be found on site front end after plugin (IssueM) error, deactivation, update, and reactivation.
Edit: More info: It also looks like past issues are unavailable. Issues is also IssueM specific, so there's that. I tried creating a test article. Interestingly, before I published I was able to preview and everything looked fine. After I published it gave me the same "This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?" message as the other articles.
I got it working! Posting this here in case it helps someone in the future.
Apparently the permalink structure got messed up. I went to Settings > Permalinks and discovered that a custom structure was set, though strangely it wasn't even a valid structure. I changed that to /%postname%/ and it all worked!

I manage a Wordpress site for a client, after trying to resolve some updates I cannot seem to edit anything inside the editor anymore. Everything is blank (see image). The site itself is still up and working fine. Has anyone ever encountered this?
There are tons of reasons, why this could be happened. Like #jiali sent you a very helpful link, I would say to try and open the debugger: inside wp-config.php file search for define('WP_DEBUG', false); and change the value to true. Then, you propably would see what causing the error and where (either plugin or custom code, or maybe plugins conflict)
Okay so in this case the problem was (when I checked the error log) that the update was not properly installed. Deactivated the plugins inside PHP MyAdmin and then reinstalled Wordpress manually onto site.
I’m using the latest version of Wordpress (4.7.4).
I have something very weird going on in my Dashboard. Not sure when this started.
Can’t say for sure it started with the latest version of Wordpress or not.
My Dashboard became completely useless.
It’s like it’s showing me a flashback of a Dashboard from a few days or hours ago:
Comments I’ve deleted in the Dashboard (hitting “trash”) are suddenly back there, awaiting my moderation.
Plugins I’ve deactivated or even deleted are all back there and according to Dashboard still running (while in my FTP folder they’re certainly gone).
The plugin page cannot be trusted anymore as it shows some plugins are activated that aren’t and vice versa. I have to check on my actual website to confirm which ones are running.
Updates aren’t shown correctly. Once I’ve updated a plugin, a few minutes later it shows me again that there’s a new update.
As you can tell it’s all pretty much the same phenomenon.
It’s as if I’m seeing an older version of my Dashboard.
Not sure what else is broken.
The only other thing I noticed is that even on my actual blog I still see a comment. Blog post says “1 comment”, but the actual comment doesn’t show up.
At first, this all sounds like a “cache problem”.
But I’ve already turned off all caching:
No caching plugin installed
Turned off server caching via htaccess
Disabled leverage browser caching
Emptied my own browser cache
Other things I tested:
Turn off all plugins.
Switch to the standard Wordpress theme “Twenty Twelve”
I tried WP_DEBUG, but nothing related shows up.
I researched the internet, but nobody has described a similar problem, so I suppose this is not a common Wordpress issue.
The issue remains.
Unfortunately I’m not a developer and don’t know too much about the Wordpress codex etc.
But to me it sounds that the mistake is definitely not in the plugin or theme folder.
The problem is that I’ve reached the point where I really cannot turn off plugins via Dashboard properly anymore. It’s so annyoing!
My questions are:
Is it safe to assume that this is related to the Wordpress core
files?
What files exactly are in “charge of” the Dashboard?
Should I just try to re-download the newest Wordpress version and replace a few files (if so which ones)?
Should I do a clean Wordpress re-install or would that be too drastic?
Any other suggestions?
EDIT:
Additionally I tried now:
I manually downloaded the newest version of Wordpress and did just as
described on the Wordpress.org website. I manually replaced wp-admin,
wp-include folders and all root files. The issue remains...
The way my Dashboard is right now, I really can’t use it.
Please advice!
I contacted my host service again.
They just gave me the same line to insert into my .htaccess file and I told them I already tried it and it didn't work.
I then showed them my .htaccess file and they deleted the whole part that concerned their server caching.
Now server caching is completely off and everything works again.
Still not sure why this previously never caused issues.
In the end, it had nothing to do with Wordpress.
I hope this answer will help people who run into similar problems.
I have Woocommerce installed on my Wordpress website and have never had this problem before. Adding orders manually through "Add order" has always worked fine – I added an order manually 2 days ago – but today (after nothing has changed), I am getting an error that says "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page".
I've tried the usual of deactivating plugins/themes but nothing seems to work, I can't seem to find the problem. I've ensured all plugins are up to date etc. and that doesn't work either. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Install this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/ and check your role and capabilities.
Maybe some plugins or code has remove your capabilities to access Order
I have a nightmare scenario where -- just getting ready to launch a site -- permalinks are suddenly not working and it breaks CSS and can't find PHP templates. I have the permalink structure set to "http://domain.org/%postname%-by-%author%/" but when I click on a post the permalink only calls postname, for example: http://domain.org/%postname%
My host provider checked the htaccess file and can't find any problem. I can't see one either. I have searched around and see many Wordpress users having permalink problems but they all seem to have different solutions. I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Click update permalinks after moving worspress. Should fix you issue :) Usually in the database the old structure is saved and the new one doesn't work, even if your htacess is ok you should still hit the update permalinks button :)
If that doesn't work try debugging with http://wordpress.org/plugins/monkeyman-rewrite-analyzer/
:)
I am curios why is the css broken. That doesn't depend on whether your permalinks are broken or not. :-S
Have you installed any plugins before it failed?
so I'm working on a wordpress site (found at nsuited.com) and my problem is that the checkout is causing a redirect loop. I have searched the internet for this problem and it mostly seemed to be related to forcing ssl or using an https wordpress plugin. I am doing neither, and everything was running fine until randomly the redirect started occurring. There's way too much code to post it all, but if there is anything specific you'd like to see let me know. I have tried changing the woocommerce checkout page, which then allowed me to access the checkout page as a page itself but I could not actually checkout from it. If I try to go to whatever page is set to checkout, BAM redirect loop again. I'm at a huge loss and have not been able to find any significant leads from debugging. Please help :(
EDIT: Also pertinent information - I recently moved my installation from a subfolder to root, though the checkout page was working since I moved installations
Problem solved.
I had tried this before without succes:
Add
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');
to the file "wp-config.php". When I added it initially, I put it at the end to no avail. Put it as the very first line of code for glory.
