    I’ve found this error on my error log:
    AH01276: Cannot serve directory /home/u146-qaqzkymwfke2/www/artistoncue.com/public_html/wp-includes/css/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,Index.html,index.shtml,index.php,Index.php,index.phtml,Index.phtml,index.htm,Index.htm,home.htm,Home.htm,default.htm,Default.htm,default.html,Default.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

    I also get a dropdown field background changed to blue with a border everywhere(backend and frontend on my site). Not sure if it’s related to the above issue.

    If you can please advise

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

    If you can install plugins, install and activate “Health Check”: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/health-check/
    It will add some additional feature under create a new menu position Tools > Site Health.
    On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, without affecting normal visitors to your site. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues.
    There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin and its Troubleshooting Mode at https://make.ww.wp.xz.cn/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/

    I also had a similar problem until I figure out it is not a problem… it is actually a good thing.

    You might have in your .htaccess file the line below
    Options –Indexes

    Which protects folders on your server from being explored simply by using a browser as it was some FTP client. This way you protect the WP core files… as well as other folders on your server

    The error log shows you every time that someone is trying to explore a path that he shouldn’t. So it’s not an error really…

    It’s an error only if you actually want people to have access to the path mentioned in the error
