A WordPress maintenance checklist with restore testing
Check backups, logs, security releases and key pages every week. Update on staging first and clean up plugins and users every month. Every quarter, restore the whole site onto a copy with a timer running and compare it with a baseline. In our drill, a wiped test site was back and verified in 34.2 seconds, and the drill showed which files the backup had missed.
Fix the WordPress critical error without guessing
The message means PHP hit a fatal error, and the PHP error log names the file that caused it. Back up first, turn on WP_DEBUG_LOG with a private log path and load the page once. Then disable only the plugin or theme the log names, by renaming its folder if wp-admin is down. After a PHP upgrade, look for functions PHP 8 removed, such as create_function().
414 Request-URI Too Large: what it means and how to fix it
A 414 means a server refused the request because the URL was longer than it will read, so your application never ran. Find which server sent it, then fix the redirect, form or filter that keeps growing the URL. Raise the limit only for legitimate long URLs: large_client_header_buffers on nginx, LimitRequestLine on Apache.
