Many times, bugs are not really bugs but issues, and issues are not really issues, but mere incompatibilities.

 

Minimal step by step tutorial for debugging bugs/issues/incompatibilities:

Prerequisite: Turn off and disable any caching plugin you might use (also use the plugin’s functions to clear/erase/delete the cache before disabling it).

 

1. Switch to another theme. Does the issue still occur? (not all issues can be tested this way so skip this step if necessary)

• if YES, the issue is not theme related; go to 2
• if NO, it’s a theme issue/incompatibility; go to 3

 

2. Disable all plugins. Does the issue still occur?

• if YES, then it could be a WordPress / installation / server issue; special testing/debugging is necessary; try using a WordPress debug plugin.
• if NO, re-enable all plugins one by one and see which one (or ones) create the issue; then contact the plugin(s)’ author(s) for support;

 

3. So it’s a theme issue. Disable all plugins. Does the issue still occur?

• if YES, create a post on the forum and describe the issues (and step to reproduce it, if possible)
• if NO, re-enable all plugins one by one and see which one creates the issue; create a post on the forum describing the issue and tell us the incompatible plugin;
