Most rebuilds fail for boring reasons: Plain permalinks, still logged in, or WP-Cron napping on a laptop. Start boring. Get fancy later.
What this video covers
- Red Plain permalinks banner — home page only
- Recent Failures and the export log
- cURL error 28 / loopback deadlock (the site asked itself a question)
- Process Queue Now vs real cron
- Recovery: Clear Static Files, then Full Rebuild
Key takeaways
Generation is HTTP back to the same site. Security plugins that block loopback will fail every job. If the live site is broken logged-out, fix WordPress first — Tivlo cannot snapshot a blank page into a good one.
