wp_update_post() blank screen

i am developing in functions.php a function which, when a post in a certain category is created/edited, will create also a related page or update it if already exists.

The creation of a new page with wp_insert_post works like a charme, but if the page already exists (after else statement) and use wp_update_post instead, WordPress returns just a blank screen and doesn’t update the post and neither the page.

I can’t figure out why, define('WP_DEBUG', true); doesn’t return any hint.

`$page_check = get_page_by_title($promo_page_title);
if(!isset($page_check->ID)){
$new_page = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘page’,
‘post_title’ => $promo_page_title,
‘post_content’ => $promo_page_content,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘post_author’ => 1,
‘post_parent’ => 27
);
$new_page_id = wp_insert_post($new_page);
if($new_page_id){
update_post_meta($new_page_id, ‘_wp_page_template’, ‘page_promo.php’);
$pids[0] = $new_page_id;
} else {
$e = TRUE;
wp_die(‘Error creating promo page’);
}
}
else {
$new_page = array(
‘ID’ => $page_check->ID,
‘post_type’ => ‘page’,
‘post_title’ => $promo_page_title,
‘post_content’ => $promo_page_content,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’
‘post_author’ => 1,
‘post_parent’ => 27
);
$new_page_id = wp_update_post( $new_page );
if($new_page_id){
update_post_meta($new_page_id, ‘_wp_page_template’, ‘page_promo.php’);
$pids[0] = $new_page_id;
} else {
wp_die(‘Error updating promo page’);
}
}
unset($promo_page_content);`

Thanks for your help!
