My site shows a blank page after an update
A blank page right after updating WordPress, a plugin or a theme is almost always a conflict or a PHP error introduced by the update. It is usually quick to isolate.
- Enable debugging. Add
define('WP_DEBUG', true);towp-config.php(via File Manager at my.dirhamaday.ae) to reveal the actual error, then turn it off after fixing. - Deactivate the updated plugin. If a specific plugin update caused it, rename that plugin's folder inside
wp-content/pluginsto disable it, then check the site. - Try a default theme. If a theme update is to blame, rename the theme folder so WordPress falls back to a default theme.
- Check PHP compatibility. An update may need a newer PHP version; switch it in the MultiPHP Manager. Conversely, a plugin may not yet support the newest PHP.
- Increase memory if the log shows a memory-exhausted error.
The error log in the panel usually names the exact file, which points straight to the culprit.
The cleanest recovery is often to restore the pre-update backup from DirhamVault, then re-apply the update carefully after checking compatibility. If you are stuck, contact our 24/7 team on WhatsApp +971 58 553 6767 or support@dirhamaday.ae.
