White screen of Death – tried everything possible

  • I just moved my friend’s new website files and b from my production server over to his live server. There is already his previous (old) WP installation working, and i have uploaded all the files in the new folder as they were configured on the production server.

    The live site looks OK, but any attempt to access [mysite]/wp-admin returns a blank screen. From [mysite]/login.php, I can get a login box, but after entering the login credentials, I just end up back on the blank-screen-of-death.

    After reading a lot of forum posts on this topic, here are many of the things I’ve tried (none have been successful):

    1) deleting extra spaces in wp-admin/admin-functions.php
    2) deleting spaces in wp-content/themes/[mytheme]/functions.php
    3) deleting spaces in wp-includes/functions.php, functions.wp-scripts.php, and functions.wp-styles.php (and many other files.
    4) added define(‘WP_CACHE’, ‘false’); to the config.php file
    5) backed up the whole wp-admin folder, deleted it from FTP, re-uploaded
    6) deleted ALL plugins

    Though when i activated the DEBUG in Config file it shows the following warnings:-

    Warning: include(/home/pphsfcom/public_html/demo/wp-content/advanced-cache.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pphsfcom/public_html/demo/wp-settings.php on line 65

    Warning: include(): Failed opening ‘/home/pphsfcom/public_html/demo/wp-content/advanced-cache.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/pphsfcom/public_html/demo/wp-settings.php on line 65

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/pphsfcom/public_html/demo/wp-settings.php:65) in /home/pphsfcom/public_html/demo/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1196

    any one please ?

  • There is common problem after website relocation.

    To solve this problem try this steps:
    1. Rename plugins folder in wp-content to some other name
    2. Go to your admin panel and enable it one by one.

    I see you have re-uploaded the wp-admin folder, but have you tried doing this for wp-includes as well?

    And also all of the files apart from wp-config.php that are in the root directory.

    Get them from a fresh copy of wordpress then upload them.

    Also are you using a caching plugin?

    The file located at

    /home/pphsfcom/public_html/demo/wp-content/advanced-cache.php)

    isn’t bundled in with WordPress so i’d delete this as it seems to be causing problems.

    i was not using any cashing plugin. Out of frustration i deleted all the built and download a fresh copy of wordpress and installed the most basic theme itself, no ammends in files whatsoever, turns out that is also not working. Now i think it can possibly the server issues so i am gonna try on any other domain for testing. Let’s See
