  I don’t see the mentioned problems on your site. So start by clearing your browser cache.

  Hello staartmees and thank you for working on this.

  I see quite a bit of progress was made yesterday and by the end of the day, the links were working again, including links to the posts.

  I had just finished downloading a new browser and taking screenshots for you when everything was suddenly back to normal again.

  Just for reference, this is the appearance of the site with the sidebar missing. https://archive.is/3hNxE

  This is the normal appearance of the site. https://archive.is/Te7ed

  Sudden Multiple Problems – What Should I Check First?

  If your system (or website, app, or device) is suddenly showing multiple unrelated issues at once, here’s a quick checklist to help identify the root cause: 🔍 1. Did Anything Change Recently?

  • Installed a new update, plugin, or driver?
  • Changed themes, system settings, or added new software?
  • Power outage or hardware movement?

  ➡️ Roll back or disable recent changes if possible. 💻 2. System-Level Issues (for computers/servers)

  • Overheating? Run hardware monitoring tools (HWMonitor, Core Temp).
  • Storage space full? Low disk space can break many processes.
  • RAM or disk errors? Run a memory test or check SMART status on drives.

  🌐 3. Internet-Dependent Services

  • Are websites not loading? Check your DNS, router, or firewall.
  • Is your site timing out or glitching? Could be a hosting issue or expired SSL.

  ⚙️ 4. Software/Plugins Conflicts

  • For WordPress or CMS users: Deactivate all plugins and activate one-by-one.
  • Clear caches (browser, server, CDN).

  🔒 5. Security Breach?

  • Unusual logins, settings changes, or missing files?
  • Scan for malware or suspicious code.

  📦 6. Device-Specific?

  • Smartphone: Try a reboot or safe mode.
  • Windows: Run sfc /scannow or System Restore.
  • Mac: Try NVRAM reset or Safe Boot.

  🧠 Pro Tip:

  When you face multiple problems at once, there’s often a single root cause—hardware, update, configuration, or malware-related.

  Hi @genderdesk,
  
  I can confirm that the website is working fine on my end as well. If you encounter the same issue and clearing the browser’s cache does not work, let us know, and we’ll take another look.
  
  Please let us know if you have any other concerns.
