White Screen of Death (WSOD)
A blank white screen with no error messages indicates that a PHP error or memory limit issue is preventing WordPress from loading.
Solution:
- Increase the PHP memory limit by adding the following line to your wp-config.php file:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M'); - If the issue persists, check your server’s error logs for clues. Contact your hosting provider if you’re unsure how to access these logs.
- Temporarily disable plugins and themes by renaming their respective folders via FTP or your hosting control panel’s file manager. If this resolves the issue, reactivate them one by one to identify the problematic plugin or theme.
