The first step was to establish a theoretical foundation that allowed me to analyze and understand errors without affecting a live website. To do this, I researched how the WordPress dashboard and file system work through documentation and online resources.

During this stage, I explored the internal structure of WordPress, identifying important folders such as /wp-content/plugins/ and /wp-content/themes/. I also reviewed critical files like wp-config.php, which contains essential configurations such as database connection settings.

This process was fundamental because it helped me understand how WordPress is organized internally. Having this knowledge made it easier to analyze and understand problems in later stages. Additionally, it allowed me to become familiar with the working environment at a theoretical level.
