Another Blank Screen Problem

  • Hello,
    I was running 2.8.2 and a friend was changing themes when the screen went blank.

    • I tried opening the site in a fresh browser, blank screen.
    • Went to the forum and found articles about changing the names of the themes, moved all the themes into a different directory, copied the Classic theme into the themes directory from a good install… blank screen.
    • Removed all the plugins, blank screen.
    • Upgraded to WP 2.9.1, blank screen.
    • Restored automatic backup made by Simple Scripts, blank screen.

    I was able to back up my databases using phpmyadmin, but lost the site before I could get a good WP export. I am at a loss to go further. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Are you sure your friend only changed the theme ?!?

    Give us the URL of the website to see what’s happen

    Here’s what I did after I logged off a while back:

    • Created a subdomain named https://www.oaspacecoast.org/test and moved all WP files and directories from the ./public_html directory to the new ./public_html/test directory, blank screen.
    • Redirected the original url to a legacy site.
    • Installed WP 3.0-beta1 in the new /test directory.
    • Imported the database using phpmyadmin.
    • I got the following error:
      Warning: require(/home1/oaspacec/public_html/test/wp-includes/post.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home1/oaspacec/public_html/test/wp-settings.php on line 368
    • Checked some of the WP documentation and found the bit about Go to the database of your blog and find the wp_options table. This table stores all the options that you can set in the interface. The WordPress Address and Blog Address are stored as siteurl and home (the option_name field). All you have to do is change the option_value field to the correct URL for the records with option_name=’siteurl‘ or option_name=’home‘. and did that.
    • Same error!

    HTH with t/s
