White Screen of Death (WSOD)

In-Depth Guidance:

• Debugging: Enable debugging mode by adding these lines to your wp-config.php file: php
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
This logs errors to a debug log file (wp-content/debug.log) without showing them publicly.
• Memory Limits: Increase PHP memory limit by adding or editing: php
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

• Isolate the Problem:
  • Deactivate all plugins via FTP or hosting file manager by renaming the plugins folder.
  • Switch to a default theme like Twenty Twenty-Three.
  • Reactivate plugins one by one to identify the cause.
• Check Error Logs: Access server error logs through your hosting control panel for detailed error messages.
• Restore Backup: If you can’t fix the issue, restore your site from a recent backup.
