An Error XXX Popped Up

A website builder powers an online store and it is often inevitable to encounter HTTP codes.

Why is it important? HTTP codes are used to communicate the status of a website or when an error is encountered.


About HTTP Codes and Errors

401 Unauthorized

The server received an unauthenticated request, as indicated by a 401 message.

A notice in this error states that the page was unable to load due to invalid credentials, for whatever reason.

Solution to 401 Unauthorized

It's possible that the URL for logging in has changed or that the URL you entered is invalid. If that's not the case, try deleting your browser's cookies and cache.

404 Not Found

When a user's requested page cannot be found on the server, an HTTP response is generated. 404 errors could occur for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the page has been deleted by the webmaster, or the URL you gave is invalid (because this is a client-side issue).

Solution to 404 Not Found

A 404 is still a broken link, thus fixing it is an important maintenance duty. Use the .htaccess approach if you're a workaholic and don't mind going the extra mile. However, installing the Redirection plugin from the WordPress directory is a more natural approach to accomplish this. Then, you can point it to any website page on the network.

500 Internal Server Error

When something is wrong with your server, a generic error known as a 500 Internal Server Error appears. Since the error message is generic, there are numerous potential causes, including problems with plugins, PHP, database issues, and more.

Solution to 500 Internal Server Error

As there are several causes for the 500 Internal Server Error, fixing it might be difficult. For this one, you should probably read the entire instruction manual.

502 Bad Gateway

502 is unique from other HTTP error codes. When a server on the internet receives an invalid response from another server, this is known as a bad gateway. If the server takes longer than expected to process a request, a 502 HTTP status code will be displayed.

Solution to 502 Bad Gateway

Most of the time, this is easily resolved by simply emptying the browser cache or refreshing the browser. If you recently migrated to the site, give it 24–48 hours. Even the hosting company can be contacted to inquire. A third-party CDN service or plugin may occasionally be the blame for your 502 answers.

301 Moved Permanently

An HTTP 301 occurs when a certain webpage is transferred permanently to a new URL. Although it doesn't really constitute a mistake, it does provide crucial information.

You may be directed to another comparable post on a page level (or even the homepage, for that matter), or you may be directed to a domain level.

Solution to 301 Moved Permanently

Verify the redirect settings to ensure that it is perfect. Try replacing any WordPress plugins you've used with Redirection. Make that the redirection was carried out correctly if the .htaccess file was used. This is how to go about it. Maintain the domain-level redirection for a few months so Google is aware of the permanent relocation of the resource.

302 Found

Similar to the 301 status code, but used for temporary redirects, is this HTTP status code. This response informs Google that the page has temporarily relocated but will eventually return to its original URL. If done correctly, the user will be forwarded to another URL in a few seconds.

Solution to 302 Found

The use of a WordPress plugin is the simplest method for configuring a 302 redirect. Rank Math is available in the WordPress directory for installation and use.

410 Gone

The 404 response is comparable to the 410 Gone error. Consider this to be a permanent 404. This code can be used by a webmaster to permanently delete or republish a post or page on another website.

When Google receives a 410 answer, it knows the requested resource has been permanently deleted from the internet and won't be re-posted. This makes it simpler to have Google de-crawl or de-index the page.

Solution to 410 Gone

A 410 gone error might occur for a variety of reasons. Make sure the input URL is correct first by checking it. Then, attempt to troubleshoot the update on the WordPress website. Remove any third-party extensions or WordPress plugins. If none of this resolves the issue, there is a server-side issue. Search for the .htaccess file. Then, in the .htaccess text editor, find the phrase "RewriteXXX" and type the following code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ <a href="http://yourwebsitename.con/expired_page">http://yourwebsitename.con/expired_page</a> $1 [R=410,L]

Replace [http://yourwebsitename.con/expired page] with the URL of the page that has expired or the location where you want to add 410 responses when entering the code.
