How do I fix the WordPress white screen of death?
The "white screen of death" is a blank white page with no error message, usually in WordPress. It is almost always caused by a PHP error from a plugin, a theme, or a memory limit being hit.
Work through these:
- Turn on error display temporarily. Add
define('WP_DEBUG', true);towp-config.php(via File Manager at my.dirhamaday.ae) so the actual error shows. Turn it off again once fixed. - Deactivate all plugins. Rename the
wp-content/pluginsfolder toplugins_off. If the site returns, a plugin is the cause; rename it back and disable plugins one at a time to find the offender. - Switch to a default theme. Rename your active theme's folder so WordPress falls back to a default theme, testing whether the theme is at fault.
- Increase PHP memory. A blank page can be a memory-exhausted error. Raise the limit in the MultiPHP INI Editor, or add
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');towp-config.php.
The error log in the panel usually names the exact file and line, which is the fastest route to the cause.
