If your WordPress website is displaying a mix of themes, showing code, and images are not appearing as they should, it may indicate a theme or plugin conflict, or a potential issue with your site’s files or database.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
1. **Check the Active Theme:** Make sure that the correct theme is activated in your WordPress dashboard. Go to Appearance > Themes and check that the appropriate theme (the one you intended to use) is active.
2. **Disable Plugins:** If the issue started after installing or updating a plugin, try deactivating all plugins. You can do this by going to Plugins > Installed Plugins and select “Deactivate” from the bulk actions dropdown. Verify if the issue persists.
3. **Clear Caches:** Clear any caching plugins you may have active (if applicable) or clear your browser cache to make sure you are not seeing a cached version of the mixed-up site.
4. **Check for Malware or Hacks:** Run a security scan on your website to ensure it has not been compromised. Some malware could inject unwanted code into your site causing it to display incorrectly.
5. **Inspect Theme Files:** Access your WordPress files via FTP or the file manager in your hosting control panel and check the theme files for any unusual code or modifications.
6. **Database Check:** If the issue persists, there might be database corruption. You can try running a database repair plugin or contact your web host for assistance.
7. **Restore from Backup:** If you have a recent backup of your website, consider restoring it to a point where the site was working correctly. This can help eliminate any changes that might have caused the issue.
8. **Reach Out for Support:** If you are unable to identify the issue or are hesitant to make changes yourself, consider seeking professional help from a WordPress developer or support forum for further assistance.
By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue causing your WordPress website to display a mix of themes, code, and missing images.
