How to fix the WordPress white screen of death

A blank white page usually means a plugin, theme or memory problem. Work through these steps in order.

1. Try wp-admin. If the dashboard loads but the site is blank, the cause is likely your theme.
2. Deactivate plugins. Rename the wp-content/plugins folder to plugins-off in the DirhamHost File Manager. If the site returns, rename it back and re-enable plugins one by one to find the culprit.
3. Switch theme. Rename your active theme folder so WordPress falls back to a default theme.
4. Increase PHP memory. Add define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT','256M'); to wp-config.php.
5. Turn on debug mode to see the real error (see our debug article).

Always take a backup before editing files. If a recent update caused it, restore a DirhamVault backup to get straight back online.
