Can't get homepage working. White Screen of Death?

What urls are entered in Settings -> General?

I have:
wordpress address (url): https://entrepreneurfactory.ca
site address (url) : https://entrepreneurfactory.ca/home

Thanks for the instant reply ??

This looks like a theme problem. If you wish to redirect you can make use of .htaccess file and do the same or else in Dashboard->Settings->Reading and change the

‘static page’ setting to your ‘Home’ page.

If you run into trouble, get back here ?? We can look at some other way.

Thanks for the quick reply ??

I have one blog post called “Welcome”. This post lets people know when the site launches, and info like that.

Should under Settings->Reading it look like this, then the site’s main post is missing.
Front page: — Select
Posts page: — Select

Should it look like this,
Front page: – Welcome
Posts page: — Select

The “Welcome” Post is seen, but https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca is still blank…

Yes, thats how it has to look like.

But, as this is not yet being displayed, check once by shifting to default twentyeleven theme and check once.

I just changed the theme to EvoLve, and then another theme… They all change the https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca/home display, yet https://www.entrepreneurfactory remains blank…

Thanks,
Neal

wordpress address (url): https://entrepreneurfactory.ca
site address (url) : https://entrepreneurfactory.ca/home

Why are those urls different? Did you change them? If so, why?

Well, I was looking through mountains of forums, and I found some info that told me to keep the WPaddress the same, and change the site address to https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca/home

Is this the reason why https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca is blank?

Thanks,

It’s certainly not helping. What url do you want to use? Where did you install WordPress on your domain?

I got a domain with https://www.name.com, and host it through https://www.hostgator.com.

In a perfect world, when someone types https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca, they will see the page https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca/home.

And Through my Hostgator’s cPanel, I added wordpress through there, and have access to my dashboard through https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca/wp-admin.

I don’t know if that helps, but thanks anyways.

Thanks again,
Neal

Use this redirect in a .htaccess file placed in your root directory and check.

//301 Redirect Old File
Redirect 301 https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca/ https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca/home

This must be annoying answering this, but what exactly is a .htaccess file, and how do I add that redirect?

I’m aware how to get into my WP database, but i’m not sure about much at all past that…

Thanks for your patience,
Neal

In a perfect world, when someone types https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca

In that case – and assuming WordPress is installed in the root domain – see Changing_The_Site_URL. Ensure that both urls are set to https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca

Alright, I changed both of them to https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca

Now, both https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca and https://www.entrepreneurfactory.ca/home are blank, and no content is visible anywhere on either of the two links…

Any ideas on what I’ve done wrong?

What method did you use of the 4 outlined on the page I linked to?
