WordPress Blank Page Error

WordPress apps frequently display a blank page.

Have you faced the same issue? If yes, then this post will help you troubleshoot the error.

This could occur as a result of a corrupted plugin that the program is using at the moment. Use FTP to access your account and see if this is the primary cause of the problem. After using FTP to access your account, go to the folder listed below:

path_to_your_application/wp-content/

The plugin subfolder can be found in this folder. This subdirectory holds all of your applications' plugins. You will need to rename the folder to disable the plugin. As an example, you can rename the plugins/folder to plugins.back/.

Check your website after doing this; if it functions flawlessly, then one of the plugins is to blame for the problem. Rename the plugins.back/ folder to plugins/ and navigate to the folder itself to resolve the issue.

Once within the directory, proceed step by step and examine each subdirectory of every plugin found inside the plugins/ folder. Next, give your application a try. In the event that the blank page problem is fixed, this indicates that the problem was caused by the plugin you deleted.

After identifying the plugin that was the source of the blank page problem, see if your current version of WordPress is compatible with it. You can talk about this problem with the plugin's developers if it isn't and you still intend to use it.
