1.875 -> how to fix the "409 Conflict" error.
4.458 -> (upbeat music)
10.025 -> When you attempt to view a website,
12 -> you may see an error message
13.29 -> that prevents you from accessing the page.
15.17 -> If the server notices a conflict
16.617 -> between the ACGP request and the resource,
19.29 -> it will display a "409 Conflict" error.
21.87 -> In this video, we'll show you
23.04 -> how to check your website
23.91 -> for the issue and fix it if necessary,
26.01 -> but before we get too far,
27.18 -> I wanna let you know
28.013 -> that there'll be links to more resources
29.52 -> in the video's description below,

35.095 -> Now, let's get this "409 Conflict" error fixed.
38.178 -> (upbeat music)
43.665 -> Even after you experience a 409 error,
46.26 -> there are a few ways to resolve it.
47.88 -> If you're unsure what's causing the issue,
49.65 -> you may have to try a combination of different methods.
52.38 -> Here are five of the most common fixes.
54.51 -> Before you try more complex solutions,
56.52 -> it's a good idea to review the requested URL.
58.81 -> If you manually entered this information,
61.32 -> you may have accidentally made a typo
62.97 -> that caused an error in the request.
65.01 -> If you made a mistake in this data,
66.66 -> you can correct it, and try the request again.
69.12 -> Sometimes this will enable you
70.68 -> to continue with the request without causing a 409 error.
73.66 -> You can also try simply refreshing the page.
76.14 -> Sometimes old errors can disappear given enough time,
79.29 -> plus the website owner could have
81 -> already resolved the issue.
82.08 -> When you first view a website,
83.4 -> your browser stores that page's data in a cache.
85.99 -> This way, you can easily re-access those resources.
89.15 -> Once you visit a site a second time,
91.07 -> your browser will pull the cache data,
93.3 -> instead of requesting the resources from the server.
95.68 -> After you've recently fixed an error in your request,
98.119 -> like a mistyped URL, you may still see the 409 error.
102.24 -> Although the issue could already be resolved,
104.58 -> the error message might still display,
106.32 -> because of your browser cache.
107.97 -> In this case,
108.81 -> you can clear your cache
109.86 -> to remove the HTTP status code.
111.87 -> The method you use to do this
112.92 -> will depend on your browser type.
114.6 -> For Google Chrome users,
115.68 -> you can start by clicking the three dot icon
117.61 -> in the top right corner of the page,
119.67 -> then select More Tools,
121.47 -> and then Clear Browsing Data.
123.42 -> In the new pop-up window,
124.47 -> select Cached Images and Files if needed.
127.02 -> You can also clear your browsing history,
129.27 -> cookies, and other site data.
131.13 -> Then click on Clear Data.
133.14 -> Although this will clear most of your cache,
134.55 -> your browser will still
135.605 -> likely keep additional data
137.13 -> that most users don't want to be deleted,
139.113 -> however, if you want to remove your full cache,
142.05 -> navigate to the Advanced tab.
143.634 -> Here, you can select
145.112 -> the data you want to delete from your cache.
147.63 -> You can choose from these options.
149.82 -> Once you specify the information
151.53 -> to remove, click on Clear Data.
153.412 -> Now, you can try the request again
155.46 -> to see if the 409 error has been resolved.
158.03 -> Sometimes HTTP error codes
160.38 -> can be caused by conflicting software.
162.24 -> To troubleshoot a ""409 Conflict"" error,
164.91 -> consider downgrading your WordPress website.
167.1 -> This downgrade can help you evaluate
169.35 -> whether the core software conflicted
171.15 -> with other tools on your site,
172.47 -> however, you'll need to back up
173.88 -> your website before starting this process.
176.16 -> If not, you risk losing important changes you made
179.16 -> with this new software update.
180.6 -> After troubleshooting the issue,
182.52 -> you can quickly restore your site
183.9 -> to its former state.
184.95 -> Since Kinsta performs daily automatic backups,
187.241 -> you can downgrade WordPress
189 -> by restoring a previous backup.
190.8 -> To do this, click on the Backups tab,
192.78 -> in your MyKinsta dashboard,
194.11 -> then select the backup you want to restore.
196.48 -> Click on Restore To, and choose
198.387 -> whether to implement these changes
200.19 -> in your staging environment or live site.
202.33 -> Finally, confirm the restoration
204.147 -> by entering the given text.
206.564 -> If you updated your website long ago,
208.65 -> you'll likely need
209.483 -> to use another method of downgrading your site.
211.36 -> Since Kinsta only saves your daily backups for 14 days,
214.5 -> you may not be able to restore to an older version.
217.45 -> As an alternative,
218.73 -> you can install the WP Downgrade plugin.
221.19 -> This tool will enable you
222.66 -> to easily re-install an older version of WordPress.
226.23 -> First, install and activate the plugin,
228.9 -> then go to Settings, and then WP Downgrade.
231.48 -> Enter the exact number
233.19 -> for the previous WordPress version
234.63 -> to downgrade your software.
235.63 -> When you're finished, save your changes.
237.74 -> You may want to consider rolling
239.58 -> back your computer update as well for Windows users.
242.25 -> You can do this in your update history settings.
244.3 -> You can also downgrade a Mac computer
246.21 -> by reverting to a time machine backup.
248.1 -> If you don't want to downgrade your website completely,
250.41 -> you can deactivate your plug-ins and third party tools.
253.35 -> By removing this software,
254.4 -> you'll likely eliminate any conflicts.
256.73 -> To deactivate your plug-ins,
258.24 -> go to the plugins page on your WordPress dashboard,
260.52 -> then select all of your plugins.
262.48 -> Click on the Bulk Actions menu,
264.36 -> and select the Deactivate option.
266.19 -> To finalize these changes, hit Apply.
268.95 -> Now you can try the request
270.18 -> to see if you receive the 409 error.
272.61 -> If the request is successful,
274.05 -> you know that there was a conflict
275.22 -> with one of your plugins.
276.053 -> To identify which plug-in is causing the issue,
278.73 -> activate each plug-in one at a time.
280.44 -> After each activation,
282.09 -> check to see if the error happens again.
283.99 -> Once you locate the problematic plugin,
286.2 -> you can delete it.
287.033 -> If it performs a necessary task on your website,
289.59 -> consider browsing the WordPress plugin directory
291.541 -> for an alternative.
292.93 -> Usually, you can find a different tool
294.99 -> with similar functionality.
295.88 -> Alternatively, there could be
297.51 -> an issue on the client side of the request.
299.79 -> To solve a 409 error,
301.26 -> you can disable your browser extensions on Chrome,
304.11 -> go to More Tools, and then Extensions.
306.19 -> This will open a list
307.53 -> of your enabled extensions.
309.12 -> To disable them,
309.953 -> make sure the switch next to each one is turned off.
313.02 -> You can also delete the extensions completely.
315.389 -> This should eliminate any software conflicts,
317.76 -> however, you should only do this with unnecessary tools.
320.764 -> As a last resort,
321.597 -> you can check your server configuration for errors.
324.47 -> In MyKinsta, you can use the built-in APM.
327.389 -> With this APM tool,
328.92 -> you can identify any long, external request,
331.409 -> unoptimized plug-in code, and slow database queries.
335.04 -> To open the Kinsta APM,
336.308 -> sign into MyKinsta.
337.87 -> Next head to sites, and then Kinsta APM.
341.52 -> Then you'll have to enable performance monitoring
343.98 -> for a certain period.
345.36 -> At the top of the page, click on Enable.
347.49 -> In the popup window, select the amount
348.979 -> of time you want Kinsta to evaluate.
351.139 -> You can enable a monitoring time
352.77 -> between two hours and 24 hours.
354.84 -> After you enable performance monitoring,
357.12 -> you can use your results to troubleshoot the 409 error.
359.67 -> You'll be able to view all your requests
361.86 -> and analyze your server's response time.
363.69 -> Alternatively, you can use the Query Monitor plugin.
366.4 -> This free tool enables you
367.632 -> to see the performance level
368.922 -> of your database queries, scripts,
371.43 -> hooks and actions, block editor blocks, and more.
374.079 -> First, install and activate Query Monitor,
376.92 -> then click on the new tab
378.42 -> at the top of your WordPress dashboard.
380.25 -> Here you can view reports
381.81 -> for your sites queries, requests,
383.64 -> scripts, and other data.
385.32 -> Under HTTP API calls,
387.87 -> you can see a list of any request errors.
390 -> With either of these tools, you can easily find 409 errors
393.6 -> and discover the root cause of the issue.
