My page is blank

  • Hi there, i’m currently developing a website for a NFP organisation. The website has been running perfectly for the few weeks since its launch but for some reason it’s now loading a blank page. This applies to the backend as well. Can someone please tell me what I can do to restore the site…If I extract the files via FTP, will I lose anything significant?

    Thank you in advance.

    Blank white page: Both PHP errors and database errors can manifest as a white screen. This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
    (1) Bad theme
    (2) Bad plugin
    (3) Bad install/upgrade
    (4) you exhausted the memory limit
    (5) It could also mean that there is an issue with your web hosting server.
    – 1 and 2 are more common.
    – Since the problem can be caused by any number of things, check the error logs on your server for a more specific error message. If you need help locating them, ask your hosting provider to help you with that.
    – If you cannot find error logs or if you don’t find any helpful info in them, try adding the following code to your wp-config.php directly above /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ : define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

    Well, many reasons may casue this error, some maybe related to the theme while others not, anyway, here you can find the major reasons for this error:

    Problem in the web server configuration
    Whether your web server is running Apache, nginx or IIS, any incorrect configuration may casue this error, so in case you are running your website on a VPS that you can manage, we recommend having a look on your server configuration settings.

    Most probably you are hosting your website on a shared hosting, or your VPS is managed by any hosting/server-management company, in 99.9% of cases the company will blame the software installed for such an error, so please go throw other recommenditions below beofre contacting them regrading this issue.

    Incorrect file permissions
    In general all your WordPress script, themes and plugins permissions need to be set at 755 for folders, and 644 for files. Setting permissions either too strict or too loose often cause this and other errors.

    Corrupt files or files that contain errors in code
    And this file maybe:
    .htaccess file
    One of your plugins files
    In the theme
    Related to the WordPress script files itself
    PHP memory limits set too low
