WordPress: There has been a critical error on this website

I transferred my WordPress website from my local Apache server to OpenLiteSpeed. The website has 10 pages, including 4 pages accessible to the public, 5 pages for registered customers, and 1 page for login purposes.

The public pages and login page are functioning correctly in OpenLiteSpeed. However, when I attempt to access any redirected page (customer page) after login, I receive an error message stating “There has been a critical error on this website.” Interestingly, all redirected pages work without any issues on the local Apache server.

What’s even stranger is that all pages, including the public pages and login page, display the same error message when any redirected page (customer page) encounters the error. It’s almost like a contagious virus.

When I clear the browser cache, everything returns to normal, except for login activity, where the same error message reappears on all redirected pages again and again.

The issue is either a php memory limit needs to increased or you have a plugin or theme conflict

Increase php memory limit at https://SERVER_URL:8090/managephp/editPHPConfigs and see if issue goes away
Disable all plugins and see if issue goes away
Change theme to default wordpress theme say twentytwentythree theme or something default and see if issue goes away

Thanks, josephgodwinke.
I have disabled all plugins, including OLS cache.
I will try the other two.
Thanks again, josephgodwinke.

Hi, josephgodwinke.
I have done all three of them, but the problem persists.
As for the theme, I changed it to twentytwentythree, but the “log in” button goes away, so I can not test any further.

By the way, I have noticed that OLS replaced my old .htaccess without any notification and reasons. I am wondering if it cause some problems.

Hi josephgodwinke
I have two posts recently, none of them gets reply.
What’s going on? Did I commit some kind of crime that this forum does not allowed?
