    My site is (https://chathurangam.jumbledthoughts.com) running on WP 2.1.3. It was working with out a glitch till yesterday morning, suddenly it started showing blank screen for the initial page (and all subsequent pages). It is as if no code runs in the server side.

    What wss I doing when this happened?

    – I just had installed Widgets (finally!). I was configuring a sidebar ExecPHP widget to show aggregated data from one of my other sites (https://chessvideos.jumbledthoughts.com)

    Things I tried to fix this problem:

    – Checked if index.php is really getting the control, by putting a phpinfo() as the first stment. It prints perfectly. So, no prob with my hosting servers PHP setup.
    – To remove the possibility of WP files corruption, I unzipped WP 2.1.3 in to a new directory. Changed wp-config.php to point to my old DB, still the site shows a blank page.

    Another thing to note is, though I am not able to view the site, I am able to login to the WP admin panel. I see all my posts/comments/other data safe in DB (Thank God for that!)

    How do I go about debugging this problem? Anyone seen this problem before?

    How about undoing your changes and reverting back? My guess is you have an error in your configuration code.

    I have fixed the problem, it turned out to be the SimplePie plugin I installed yesterday. Uninstalling it brought back my site in all its glory ??

    Thanks Doodlebee for the suggestion.
