WP-Cache blip after PHP upgrade

  • I’ve been using WP-Cache for a while no, but a couple of days ago I noticed my WP site would server a blank page. Looking at the source would display the [html], [head] and [body] tags, with nothing else. A Refresh would then display the page.

    When I disable the plug-in the pages load properly. Anybody experiencing this as well?

    The PHP version is 5.1.6.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    My wordpress blog is hosted with Dreamhost and I found this in their support wiki:

    If you have “blank pages” in WordPress with wp-cache turned on after you upgrage to PHP 5.1.2 – there is simple fix to solve the problem:-

    1. Open wp-cache-phase2.php file* in your favourite text editor
    2. Find out wp_cache_ob_end function
    3. then inside that function find out line with: ob_end_clean(); (it should be line 219 or about)
    4. and finally replace that line with: ob_end_flush();

    I had already turned off wp-cache, but this solved my problem of a blank screen on every first load.

    Here is the code replacement following the instructions above. It worked for me.

    OLD:

    ob_end_clean();
    if ($new_cache) {
    $serial = serialize($meta_object);
    wp_cache_writers_entry();
    $fr = fopen($cache_path . $meta_file, 'w');
    fputs($fr, $serial);
    fclose($fr);
    wp_cache_writers_exit();
    }

    NEW:

    ob_end_flush();
    if ($new_cache) {
    $serial = serialize($meta_object);
    wp_cache_writers_entry();
    $fr = fopen($cache_path . $meta_file, 'w');
    fputs($fr, $serial);
    fclose($fr);
    wp_cache_writers_exit();
    }

    this works and a big thanks
