Can you please tell me which theme are you using?

Can you please check your theme category.php OR archive.php file?

Hi @anoopranawat I’m using Intact theme.

What exactly do I’ve to check in the archieve.php?

Hello @kriteshabhishek

I need to check the code of archive.php and category.php file.

Here is the code for archieve.php

Hello @kriteshabhishek

If possible please go to the root section and open wp-config.php file. Please set WP_DEBUG true:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

I think something is wrong with this file.

Hello @kriteshabhishek

Please share the screenshot of your theme archive.php file.

Sure. Here are the screenshots — https://goo.gl/meZDtn

Hello @kriteshabhishek

If possible please go to the root section and open wp-config.php file. Please set WP_DEBUG true:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

Hello @kriteshabhishek

To debug this issue we will go step by step

1) First we will check any error (if) with WP_DEBUG
2) Just take the backup of this file and remove all the code b/w

<?php get_header(); ?>
----
<?php get_footer(); ?>

3) If everything fine ie you are able to see the header and footer of the website then we will try next step.

NOTE: If you are using any cache plugin, please deactivate that plugin for some time

Hi @anoopranawat. I tried adding define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); in the wp-config.php file. It didn’t solved the issue.

Hello @kriteshabhishek

Just take the backup of this file and remove all the code b/w

<?php get_header(); ?>
—-
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hello @kriteshabhishek

Any updates?

Hi !anoopranawat Sorry, I am not an expert developer and just know the basics. The steps that you asked need technical knowledge and I don’t want to mess up my site by taking some wrong steps, in case I did something wrong. It would be easier if you can let me know some other simple method or if you want I can share you the code files so that you can go through it. The issue is still not solved!!
