Common mistakes include incorrectly modifying the `.htaccess` file with wrong syntax, setting overly restrictive file permissions (e.g., 777 for directories), misconfiguring security plugins, or having a firewall/CDN block legitimate access. Ignoring error logs or not performing backups before changes also contributes to difficulties in resolving the issue.
