Solution: Increase memory and enable CDN. CDN can greatly reduce server memory overhead while accelerating the website.
WordPress upload image error
WordPress upload file error, there are several possibilities:

Cause: The image size exceeds the server limit.
Solution: Please refer to Modify the Upload File Size in Environment Management->PHP Configuration in this chapter. -
Cause: The actual format of the picture is inconsistent with the suffix.
Solution: For example, the actual format of a WordPress9.jpg image is WordPress9.jpeg, and an error will be reported when uploading. If the suffix is changed to jpeg, the upload will be normal. In fact, when the actual format and suffix are inconsistent, there will be no preview effect in the Windows system file. - Permission issues (common in IIS).
WordPress appears to be solving the problem. It is performing routine maintenance. Please come back in a minute.

WordPress 5.0 Switch back to the old version of "Classic Editor"
Reason: In versions after WordPress 5.0, the editor is the same as before There is a clear difference. We will not discuss the pros and cons of the editor here. We found that after the editor was upgraded, the user's theme could not adapt to the new editor, resulting in the inability to perform visual editing.
Solution: If you want your theme to be visually editable, you must enable the classic editor. The method to enable it is very simple, just install the "Classic Editor" plug-in.

Solution: If you urgently need to upgrade, please refer to our WordPress manual upgrade document
The WordPress administrator has lost permissions and cannot log in to the backend normally?
Reason: The backend management of WordPress is divided into permissions, and the highest authority is the super administrator. When the WordPress administrator loses permissions and cannot enter the background normally.
Solution: You can restore permissions by entering the PhpMyAdmin database management tool.

- Enter first wp_users, check your own administrator user name. The super administrator user ID is usually 1. If not, modify it;
- Enter the wp_usermeta table and find the wp_user_level and wp_capabilities fields. If the value of wp_user_level of the corresponding account is not 10, please change it to 10 (half of super administrators are 10, the highest authority); check the wp_capabilities value, if it is not "administrator", you can directly change it to: a:1:{s:13 :"administrator";b:1;} ;
