WordPress is a popular and powerful CMS, but it’s not without its issues. Here are some typical problems that I can fix:

Security Issues

• Outdated plugins/themes – Vulnerable to attacks if not regularly updated.
• Brute force attacks – Especially on default login pages (`/wp-login.php`).
• Poorly coded plugins – Can introduce security holes or malware.

Performance Issues

• Slow load times – Caused by too many pluginsm unoptimized images, poor hosting, no caching, database bloat – From post revisions, spam comments, and transients.

Update Conflicts

• Plugin/theme/WordPress core conflicts – Updates may break site functionality.
• Custom code overwritten – If changes are made directly to themes/plugins instead of using child themes or custom plugins.

Theme & Plugin Compatibility

• Plugin conflicts – Two or more plugins interfere with each other.

 Theme limitations

• Themes may not support certain plugins or customizations well.

Hosting-Related Problems

• Shared hosting limits – Can slow down or crash your site during traffic spikes.
•  Server configuration – Some hosts may not support key WordPress requirements (like specific PHP versions).

SEO Problems

• Duplicate content – Caused by tag/category archives or pagination.
•  Missing metadata
• Poorly configured SEO plugins or themes.

Editor/Content Issues

• Gutenberg block editor bugs
• Blocks not working properly or conflicting with older themes.
• Visual vs. code editor issues – What you see in the editor doesn’t always match the front end.

Customization Problems

• Limited by theme options – Some themes don’t allow enough flexibility.
•  Hard-coded elements – Requires developer knowledge to change.

Email Issues

• Contact forms not sending emails – Often caused by server configuration or lack of SMTP setup.
•  Emails going to spam – Due to missing SPF, DKIM, or proper mail settings.
