“This file doesn’t do anything, but loads”

  • This jargon is what shows up when I type in my URL (https://www.chelseakoontz.net). I cannot log-in or access anything but a white screen aside from this:

    blockquote/** * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme. * * @package WordPress */ /** * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it. * * @var bool */ define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true); /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */ require(‘./wp-blog- /blockquote

    This thing worked yesterday, just fine. I picked Apricot as my theme, rearranged widgets, added links, crafted a test post, and now this is what I’m getting? This happened before, so I deleted the db, deleted everything I uploaded, and started all over again. It worked yesterday for the duration of me using it, until now.

    What am I doing wrong?

  • Make sure that your index.php file is complete. Should be the following:
    ‘<?php
    /**
    * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
    * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
    *
    * @package WordPress
    */

    /**
    * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
    *
    * @var bool
    */
    define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

    /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
    require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
    ?>’

    It’s complete.

    i think this was happening to me and it was file permissions on the server that needed to be fixed. bumped mine to 775 and the install page came up, stopped getting the index.php gibberish.
