Widget Experiment Destroyed Entire Blog
-
I never thought WordPress could be so vulnerable, but it seems like updating my functions.php file in my template with a widget declaration based on the recent posts widget has totally hosed my entire site.
And by totally hosed I mean going to the site yields a blank page. No errors or indication of where the problem is. Nothing.
Attempts to repair the problem included cutting the offending code out of the functions.php file, changing config.php to point to a freshly minted wp_ database, and re-installing WordPress and pointing it at the affected database. None of these caused a change, so the only thing I’m left to believe is that it’s affected both code in the database and in the installation.
Can anyone step me through how declaring a widget can obliterate an entire site?
