 * This error usually happens when a bad rule gets saved to the database. “Flushing”
   the permalinks forces WordPress to delete the corrupted rules and regenerate 
   clean ones.
 * a. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
 * b. Go to Settings > Permalinks.
 * c. Scroll down and click Save Changes. (You do not need to change any settings,
   just clicking save is enough).
 * d. Check your site to see if the error is gone.
 * If the error returns immediately after flushing, a specific plugin or custom 
   code is actively injecting this bad rule.
 * **The Clue:** The error mentions `page_id=23279`.
 * a. Check Redirection Plugins: If you use a plugin like “Redirection” or “Safe
   Redirect Manager,” look for a rule involving Page ID 23279. You likely added 
   a ? by mistake in a “Source URL” field.
 * b. Check Page ID 23279: Find the page with ID 23279. Is there a custom setting
   on that specific page (in a meta box) regarding custom permalinks or redirects?
 * c. Search the Database: If you have access to the database (via phpMyAdmin), 
   search the **wp_options** table -> **rewrite_rules** row. If you delete the value
   of this row (make it blank) and save, it will force WordPress to regenerate default
   rules on the next load.`
 * Try above Method first. If that solves it, you are done. If the site crashes 
   again later, you need to hunt down the plugin managing Page ID 23279.
