Summary: issue found, fixed, explained.
Practical repair, not a rebuild.
Focused troubleshooting for PHP errors, hosting issues, database failures, redirects, and broken site behavior.
What this fixes
When your website breaks, you do not always need a full rebuild.
A lot of website problems come from small but frustrating technical issues: a PHP version change, a bad migration, broken permissions, a database problem, or a redirect loop.
DB
Database issues
Database connection failures, wrong credentials, moved config files, changed paths, and broken app settings.
SSL
Hosting problems
SSL/HTTPS redirect loops, broken .htaccess rules, file permissions, migrations, and PHP version mismatches.
