Answers.Body: <p>Almost every time I've seen CiviCRM fail to load a portion of the screen, it's been a permission issue on the <a href="https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/a/15932/12">templates_c folder</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I can give the standard fix if you have command line access:  Navigate into the <code>templates_c</code> folder and run <code>chown -R &lt;name of web user&gt; .</code>  However, every control panel has a different way of handling this - and if the permissions got screwed up, then there's probably a deeper underlying issue (e.g. cron is running as the wrong user).</p>
  
  <p>If you're not sure how to change the owner of <code>templates_c</code>, simply delete it - next time you reload the CiviCRM page, it will be regenerated (correctly).  You'll still want to check for a bad cron setup, but it's a good way to quickly see if the issue is indeed a cached template issue.</p>

Title: CiviCRM WordPress doesn't work suddenly
ThreadText: # CiviCRM WordPress doesn't work suddenly
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-01-28)
  
  Not sure where I went wrong.
  
  I recently installed the CiviCRM WordPress plugin.
  
  I also installed a number of other plugins, but one of them that was installed after Civi was an SSO one.
  
  I wouldn't think this would negatively affect anything, especially Civi, but apparently it did!
  
  I've tried deactivating the SSO plugin, and seeing if Civi would work, and to no avail.
  
  I even tried deactivating, deleting, and re-installing the Civi plugin 3 times. Still nothing.

  FIXED!
  
  My issue was with the resource URL.
  
  Update the following file: **example.org/wp-content/uploads/civicrm/civicrm.settings.php**
  
  Approx. line 82: **$civicrm\_setting['URL Preferences']['userFrameworkResourceURL'] = '<https://example.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm>';**
  
  I had put an SSL certificate on via my host (SiteGround), just before this issue started happening, which was messing it up.
  
  All the paths need to have **https:** in them.

  Almost every time I've seen CiviCRM fail to load a portion of the screen, it's been a permission issue on the [templates\_c folder](https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/a/15932/12).
  
  I can give the standard fix if you have command line access: Navigate into the `templates_c` folder and run `chown -R  .` However, every control panel has a different way of handling this - and if the permissions got screwed up, then there's probably a deeper underlying issue (e.g. cron is running as the wrong user).
  
  If you're not sure how to change the owner of `templates_c`, simply delete it - next time you reload the CiviCRM page, it will be regenerated (correctly). You'll still want to check for a bad cron setup, but it's a good way to quickly see if the issue is indeed a cached template issue.
