Could not start WordPress with error after data migration

If you got 500/502/503/504 error or PHP error, address troubles with the below steps:

  1. Start WordPress in Safe Mode to disable all plugins and switch the theme to the WordPress default.

  2. Enable plugins one by one to find any plugins that may be causing an issue.
    If you discover that a plugin is causing an error,  disable it or use an alternative.

  3. Once any plugin related issues are resolved, generate an artifact, and check for any errors that may occur. Never forget to disable auto deployment before creating an artifact while you’re debugging.

  4. Start WordPress again, activate the theme that you would like to use, and monitor for any errors or issues that may occur.
    If you find that a theme is causing an error, disable the theme and use an alternative.

  5. Once all theme related issues are resolved, generate an artifact, and check for any problems. Never forget to disable auto deployment before creating an artifact while you’re debugging.
