 * I’ve read the thread you posted but I was not able to get it fixed. I investigate
   it further and noticed all of my other WordPress on this same server is fine,
   no errors.
 * I’ve deactivated all the plugins but BPS and it still so those errors.
 * As for view visual tests, I only see images for 1, 7, 9, and 12.
 * This is the actually errors:
 *     ```

 * Since you are seeing images for 1, 7, 9, and 12 then that means the problem is
   not related to htaccess files/code. The 2 most common causes for this issue are:
   some code in the wp-config.php file and the open_basedir directive in a php.ini
   file. What do you see for open_basedir on the BPS System Info page > PHP Server
   |PHP.ini Info > PHP open_basedir:? Check your wp-config.php file for any non-
   standard additional code and post it in your reply. You can compare your wp-config.
   php file contents to the file contents of the wp-config-sample.php file.

 * I think I got some issues with my dns record. For some reasons, it’s not resolve
   to www version of the domain. I will get that fixed first and then see what happened.
 * I have other WordPress sites on the exact same server with same setup. And it’s
   fine.
 * Nothing weird in wp-config.php and PHP open_basedir is the same as the other 
   sites.

 * Yes, I can confirmed it is that issue. When I changed my site to setting to non-
   www then no errors. Changed it back then errors happened again.

 * Are your WordPress settings correct for your website URL: Settings > General 
   > WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL)?
 * Are you using any non-www to www htaccess rewrite/redirect code?

 * Yeah, it’s my dns. I checked with intodns.com and got the WWW A Record error.

 * Update: It was the DNS issue. I have to wait for 7 days for it to resolved because
   my host have an actual dns server that follow the rules. hahaha
 * It’s all working now.
 * Thanks again. You guys are great!
