   This afternoon I noticed that when I published my posts I would be dropped to a blank screen. In other-words, post.php was returning squat...

   I thought it was a temporary thing, so I ignored it, expecting to to go away.

   Well, it whent away... The whole damn site...

   Basicaly, if there is no GET data, nothing will show up...

   http://www.nosteamshovel.com/index.php?tag=steve_byrne

   will work, but:

   http://www.nosteamshovel.com/index.php

   will not.

   Same goes for all php files... Fancy works fine too:

   http://www.nosteamshovel.com/2007/04/09/

   I looked in the error log... Damn...

   It really sucks that every time I post here I'm always screaming "The sky is falling!" But really...

   So your host is using the default (and arguably small) PHP memory limit of 8MB. You could ask them to raise it, or you could remove whatever plugin you recently added that pushed you over the cap.

   Some googling will turn up directives that will increase that memory via your .htaccess file as well.

   um... what plug-in could it be?

   The first thing you might do is to drop a fresh index.php file in the root and then turn off most plugins. The 3rd party content can be a problem so turn off widgets and plugins and then turn them on one at a time.

   hint.. update version after you get it running in basic mode.

   The key words were "recently added". Did you add any plugins before this problem started happening? If so, those would qualify in the recent concept. :-)

   WordPress 2.1.2

   Got it working with "php_value memory_limit 16M" in the root directory.

   I am running G2, and I hear rumors that 8M is kinda small for G2. I haven been getting more hits, so probably due to increased access to G2...

   I just found a culprit:

   Google Sitemaps - UTW Tag Addon v1.1

   It was killing the follow-up from saving a post, perhaps it was killing my memory as well...

   Glad to see you got it sorted out.

   Out of curiosity, what's G2?

   Dunno if this helps:

    And it appears, in my case, to have been a leaky plugin. I bumped the PHP ceiling on memory, thus gaining control again. Then I cut an oldish plugin and found that all was working well.

    I went to the plugin home and found that the one I was running was long out of date. Once I upgraded to the newer version, things functioned properly.

    The problem with running out of memory appeared in the context of an upgrade to Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard). Under 10.4, things were O.K. Only when I upgraded (with the concomitant need to tweak httpd.conf for PHP5, etc.) did the plugin problem rear its head.

    Whewee!

    I think most likely due to memory problem. Check this page for a possible solution:

    Good luck.
