I see that your site is working now. I’m experiencing the exact same problem … blank white page everywhere in WP. The only difference is I haven’t changed servers. I contacted the server admin and he says he didn’t change anything. It simply stopped working Monday night. I’ve reinstalled, deleted plugins and done everything else I can think of and still no luck. My blog is just dead. (phpMyAdmin shows my databases are still there). Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Nathan

Upon further review, it doesn’t even return a 404 error … it simply doesn’t respond. Apparently there is a PHP glitch somewhere because the server receives my GET request and then … nothing, absolutely nothing. No error message in the logs to indicate and error and nothing but a blank page (completely blank when you “view source”). I’m stumped on this one. Anybody?

As a followup if I type in the direct url to the “license.txt” file, it will show up in my browser. But none of the php files work. So, for example, I can get:

https://www.ChristianChallenge.org/PastorBuddy/license.txt

but I cannot see

https://www.ChristianChallenge.org/PastorBuddy/index.php

returns a 404 error. Is this indicative of a htaccess issue or something else?

Thanks,
Nathan

Thank you all for your help. After seeing the odd directory reference I went back and double checked the zip file. I caused the error by uploading ALL the files into the rubric directory. I recreated the directory structure as it was in the zipped file, put the graphics in their proper directory and all is well. I’ve also corrected the “connections” theme … I had done the same thing to that one. Ugh! I feel like an idiot, but I really do thank all of you for your help.

Sincerely,
Nathan

I sent the following post to vkaryl via email. I’m posting a copy here to publicly thank everyone for your assistance and to thank vkaryl for his offer. I will post any resolution once we discover it. Thanks again!

Hello vkaryl,

Thank you so much for your offer of help on the wordpress issue. I haven’t had time to work on it since I posted my initial response, and my dad liked the default blue theme (probably because it just looked better than a theme without images! <G>).

I did not notice the odd path (addition of “rubric” in
“images/rubric/gradient.gif”) but I’ll look into that. I could probably correct the path issues in the css file. However, it was odd that the same problem occured when I selected two other themes I had downloaded (Pool and Connections). That why I assumed it was happening on ALL themes … but obviously the default theme is working fine. So perhaps I’m not uploading the themes correctly, although I thought I simply was to create the folder in themes and upload the contents of the zip file.

Having written that, the one thing I did was upload the contents directly from WinZip, without unzipping it to my drive to see if there was any sort of directory structure. Perhaps I screwed it up that way. I’ll check it out after church this morning.

Again, thanks for your offer of help!

Sincerely,
Nathan

After posting the note above I changed the theme to “WordPress Default 1.5” at my father’s request. I’m building the blog for him to be able to chronicle his journey through Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. While I really liked the Rubric theme with the pen, he didn’t want to wait so we chose the “working” theme that came with the default installation. But if anyone has any clues as to why the other themes didn’t work, I’d love to hear them.

Thanks,
Nathan
