Index of/ sometimes?

    Hello,

    This site was deleted and we’re trying to restart it. We’ve upgraded to PHP7.3, have the latest WordPress, a theme installed (Consulting, if that’s important), and a maintenance mode plugin added.

    I went to test the plugin, and it’s showing an index of/ error sometimes. There are no files listed alongside the error. Sometimes it shows the correct information/style etc. Sometimes it shows what’s behind the maintenance plugin.

    It happens on different browsers, in private mode/incognito so it’s not a local cache.

    I’ve only got one page which is designated the home page, which is static, but I’ve also tried just displaying the latest posts and its the same.

    I’ve also tried to install an SSL today, could that be the issue?

    It does seem to just affect the home page. If you try to go to https://grrowlinglypurrfect.co.uk/blue (not a page) it shows the maintenance mode plugin.

    I’ve looked at the settings of the plugin (IgniteUp) and they’re the same as I’ve used on other sites, so don’t think there’s a problem there.

    Google results seem to say there’s no index.php file, but surely if it works sometimes there must be?

    I don’t want to build a site if there’s a fundamental issue somewhere that means I have to start again!

    Should add, the index.php is file is there, in public html.

    This is what it says:

    
<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define( 'WP_USE_THEMES', true );

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require __DIR__ . '/wp-blog-header.php';

    Update 2 (after engaging my brain, sorry!).

    Have disabled the plugin and now all fine (if messy). If that only happens when the plugin is enabled am I alright to use it anyway? Maybe 7 times of 10 it works?

    Its not a high traffic site, so I suppose it doesn’t really matter, but I like to keep things tidy!
