I was able fix the problem with my blank index page by editing the path to the wp-blog-header.php file in my index.php file.
Old index.php:
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
New index.php:
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
The index page apparently thought I installed into root.
My files were installed in /wordpress folder. My index.php and wp-blog-header.php files were in the same folder; however, the path for wp-blog-header.php was listed as ./wp-blog-header.php. When I edited the index.php file to change the path to “/wp-blog-header.php”, it worked!
I hope this helps identify the source of this problem.
Perfect, thank you very much for this great tip! Saved my whole site.
